VanBuren Township was the scene of a terrible accident this morning at about 10 o'clock. As a result, Jesse Means, twenty-one years of age, lies dead at his home in London and John Fogarty, aged about fifty, is at the home of Marion Noe, seriously injured.
The two men who were the victims of the accident, together with Ralph House had gone to the woods owned by Fansler and Fogarty, the woods being located on what is known as the Enos Copple farm, about seven miles east of London.
The men were cutting timber for the Fansler and Fogarty saw-mill of Brrokfield. There were felling a tree, and as it came to the ground it struck another tree and rebounded in their direction.
Means was struck on the head, his skull being crushed like an egg shell. Death, of course, was instant. Fogarty has a broken rib and is badly bruised.
While Fogarty was being taken to his home, he was overcome by faintness and it was necessary to take him into the residence of Marion Noe, where he still is this afternnon.
Mr. Means is a son of William Means and is a cousin of some degree or other to most of those of that name in this city. He was married but two months ago to Miss Mayme Brant, and much sympathy is felt by every one for the girl-widow.
Mr. Fogarty is not the member of the firm of Fansler and Fogarty, but is connected with the establishment. He is the step-father of Mr. Clarnece Plunkett, of Shelbyville.
