A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Sad Christmas For Charles Fulbert of North
Bridgeport.
BRIDGEPORT, Dec. 24..——Charles Ful-
bert, aged 14 years, met with a horrible
accident, last evening, by which he
lost his left leg. The limb was not
severed at one point, but was ground
inch by inch from the foot to the knee
in a grinding mill at the plant of the
Nonpariel Cork Co. Young Fullaert
was employed at the mill, as is also
his step-father, William Reckman.
The accident occurred just five minutes
before the time of shutting down the
machinery for the day.
The grinding mill is located a few
inches below the floor and cork in
large pieces is put through a small
hole in the floor and ground up] and is
heaped on the floor of the story below
as it comes from the grinder. :1 Just
how young Fulbert came to get his
foot into the grinder is not known, but
it is thought by many that he slipped
on the smooth floor and his foot caught
in the knives. of the grinder, which
dragged him bodily toward the open-
ing. His whole body would have been
dragged in and .ground up had not
his screams been heard by a fellow
workman. who hastened to his assist-
ance and dragged him from the hole
with only the stump of the left leg
remaining. The victim had fainted.
The ambulance was summoned and
the maimed lad was conveyed to the
general hospital, where an amputation
was performed just above the knee.
The boy isthe oldest child of a large
family and a son of the late Henry Ful-
bert. He resides with his mother and
Step-father, Mr. and Mrs. William Reck-
man, at their home in North Bridge-:
port on Sylvan avenue. It will be a sad
Christmas time in the home of the un-
fortunate boy.

“Hang it, boy!” exclaimed the tender-
foot from the east, as the bell boy of a
Texas hotel came bouncing in on him
without knocking, “haven’t ‘you any
manners about you?”
“Didn’t you ring?” asked the boy.
“Of course I rang.”
“Didn’t'you ring three times?”
“It may have been three, as I was in
a hurry for ice water, but that doesn’t
excuse you for bursting in the door.”
“Beg pardon,” replied the boy, as he
backed out, “but you ought to read—the
bell card. It’s one ring for the porter,
two for the bell boy and three for a gun,
and when a guest rings for a gun in
this hotel the orders are to get it to him
before the other fellow can beg his par-
