         Terrible Accident to a Manistee Man.
         
         Manistee, Mich., November 20. - (Special)
         LAWRENCE HILL, the night foreman at Buckley
       & Douglas' mill, was the victim of a terrible
       accident early this morning, which resulted in
       his death at 6 o'clock tonight. Hill had climbed
       a ladder, and with a stick was attempting to
       throw off the belt from a pulley. In some manner
       the stick caught, and being whirled around, 
       struck the unfortunate man on the forehead,
       causing a fracture of the skull. The force of
       the blow hurled him to the floor below, and a
       second fracture was made at the base of the
       brain. Mr. HILL leaves a wife and two children.
       He was prominent in lodge circles, being past
       noble grand of the Odd Fellows, a member of
       the Maccabees, and several other orders. He
       has been in the mill business for fifteen years.
