                        A Violent Death
                 
           HARRY DARNELL, aged sixteen years, was killed
         yesterday morning at the Bent Wood Furniture
         Factory, near Brightwood, while in the building.
         He was standing at the elevator hatchway, and a
         piece of lumber used by the workmen to stand on
         while oiling the machinery at the top of the ele-
         vator became loosened in some manner and fell end
         foremost down the opening, striking the lad upon
         the head and crushing in his skull. He lived but
         a few moments. The piece of plank has been in use
         for a long time at the elevator and was regarded
         as perfectly safe. The shop was closed out of 
         respect to the parents, the father being foreman
         of the shop. Deceased was a great favorite among
         the workmen. Coroner Stratford went out yester-
         day and took evidence in the case, finding the
         facts as above given.
