Fatal Accident At New School Building 
Steel Worker Caught Beneath Falling Column 
   The first casualty at the new Owingsville high school plant now 
under construction occurred last Saturday afternoon when Eddie Moore, 
Ashland steel worker, died of injuries sustained when a steel column 
toppled over and crushed both his legs just below the hips. 
   Moore was assisting other workmen in raising the 70 foot long steel 
trusses for the roof of the gymnasium when a slacking guy rope permitted 
the hoisting apparatus to give way and let the immense steel truss fall, 
which in doing so knocked over one of the upright columns to which is 
was to have been bolted. 
   All the other workmen on the job ran to safety except Moore, who was 
sitting on the concrete foundation wall.  The steel column fell across 
both legs, crushing them almost to a pulp. 
   After first aid treatment here, he was taken to the Mary Chiles 
hospital at Mt. Sterling, where he died early that night.  The remains 
were taken to his home in Ashland for burial.
