Bloomington (Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana) Telephone, November 13, 1896, p. 4. GLAD HE'S ALIVE. Harry Aiken Makes a Remarkable Escape from Death. Harry Aiken is glad to be alive today when he thinks of how many men have been killed outright with half the opportunity that he had yesterday afternoon. Mr. Aiken is a member of the firm of Hinds & Aiken that is now operating the well known planning mill on the Monon just south of town. He was at work as usual about the mill, and was wearing a cut-away coat. As he passed a line shaft the end of his coat caught in a screw head and in an instant Mr. Aiken was being thrown about the fast revolving shaft, which is about 18 inches clear of the ground. The fact that there were witnesses of the accident doubtless saved his life, as they stopped the machinery and hurried to his assistance. Mr. Aiken's coat, vest and shirt were torn from his body in the meantime, and the miracle is that his body was not mangled. He was at once moved to his home on east 3rd street and Dr. Lowder summoned. It was found upon examination that the right shoulder was dislocated and there were a number of painful bruises about the body. None of the injuries are regarded as serious and Mr. Aiken is resting nicely today.
