Caught By Cable - Earl Ketchum Killed in Pender County Logging Camp

Newbern, Feb. 7 - News reached this city this afternoon of a horrible accident 
which occurred near Northeast, Pender County, yesterday afternoon at a logging 
camp operated by Munger and Bennett of this city and which caused the death of 
Earl Ketchum, a citizen of that section. Ketchum was employed at the camp as 
engineer of a skidder and was engaged in its operation when the heavy steel 
cable holding this snapped and wound around his body in such a manner that the 
victim was literally mashed to death. He lived for a few minutes, but death 
ensued just after the heavy coils had been taken from his body.
