Workman Crushed   

  One man was killed and another was seriously wounded in an accident 
which occurred at the top of the coal crusher of the Lackawanna Coal 
Company at Wehrum Friday.  William Diehl was instantly killed and Bert 
Noel was probably fatally wounded.  The men fell into the machinery.  
Diehl was crushed to a pulp but Noel was drawn out by companions not 
before he had been badly crushed however.
  The body of Diehl went clear through the cogs and wheels to the coal 
bins below.  The remains of the dead man are being held for relatives 
to claim.
