Meets Terrible Death An awful death overtook Philip Lones, a young machinist of Johnstown yesterday morning when he was whirled around a rapidly revolving shaft of a lathe at the new machine shop of the Cambria Steel Company. His head repeatedly struck the hard flooring and projectiles about the machine and just above the eyes contains a deep hole which extends about four or five inches through the skull and permitted his brains to ooze out. His right leg was broken and his entire body is a mass of bruises. The young man’s over clothing caught in the belt and with a pitiful scream, he was drawn up and around time and time again before other workmen could stop the machine. He was killed before the lathe was stopped. A brother works in the same plant and was there when the body was taken down. Fortunately he did not see the accident. Lones was 30 years old and lived with his mother.
