Bert Anderson, a member of the construction gang at the 
Copper queen smelter at Douglas, fell from an eye beam on 
which he was working a few days ago, and sustained injuries 
from which he died the next day.  Anderson had in his pocket 
at the time of his fall, a center punch, which entered his 
groin, puncturing an artery.  The excessive bleeding which 
followed was responsible for his death.  He was putting a 
lashing on an eye beam on the feed floor, stepped back, 
missed his footing and fell about fifteen feet, landing 
on his knees.  The accident happened at 4:45 and he was 
taken immediately to the Calumet Hospital.  He was working 
on the structural gang with T.L. McCabe.  The man had been 
employed at the Copper Queen for the past six months. His 
people live in New York. He made his home in Douglas with 
O.M. Ross.
