Hall, Harry

Picher Oklahoma, April 15 Harry Hall, a mill cleaner gig man, met instant death at 7:10 o'clock this morning when he became entangled in two belts at the No. 10 mill of the Eagle Picher Lead Company, known as the Goodwin Mill, near the Oklahoma state line.

As the hard rock lead and zinc mill was being started for the day's shift, it was noticeable that something was wrong with the shafting, according to some of the workmen. Hall took a pinch bar and climbed to make the adjustment, when suddenly the bar became caught and pulled him into two belts which threw him between machinery. It required several minutes for the other workmen to extricate his body from the entanglement. The company physician was called immediately and responded with an ambulance, but Hall was dead when the other workmen reached him.

The body was removed to the morgue of the Todd undertaking company, at Picher. Funeral arrange-ments have not been completed. Hall was between 18 and 19 years old, and is survived by a wife, Mrs. Byrna Hall, and one child, who reside at Carthage Missouri He had been an employee of the company for about four months.
