took tho contract for this barn several months ago when ho interrogated mr brown as the method he would employ in raising he new structure mr brown at once replied well to my mind there is 3nly- one safe way to raise a structure of the proposed dimensions nnd that is by blockj and tackle i want to avoid any possible accident in rais ing tlutearn mr douglas was quite in accord with mr browns suggested plan and ncted accordingly in plac ing the necessary timbers derrick and other- equipment twentyfive or thirty neighbors were asked to assist with fhe raising and among them mr murray who ex pressed pleasure at being invited the work proceeded promptly after noon on friday with block and tuckle and a t raptor driven by mr brown himself for power tho first three bents wero raised without n hitch mr murray who had consider able experience in the construction and raising of barn frames chose the work of going up with tho girths and pinning them to tho upright posts of tho bent he requested his brother wesley to work with him on tho op posite end of the girth and together they were hoisted with each or these timbers as the bents wero slowly to bo connected at tenor and mortice by pins- the third bent had gone up and the tenor was about to enter the mortice of the approaching bent when it was observed that the chain around the girth was over the shoulder of the tenor and would not permit the timber to enter properly and the con tractor aslced mr murray to shift tho chain an inch or so while in hcajttilqlnso asudden gust of wind caused mr murray to over balance and he fell headlong to the ba floor twenty feet be death came almost instantaneously to the poor fellow mr brown im mediately summoned dr nelson and dr mcniven coroner their exam inatlon proved that mri murray had sustained a fractured neck dislocated jaw and broken arm when the cor oner examined the surroundings and the cause of the accident he decided that no inquest was necessary when the girth
