death - mill	Smith, Fred	Man Killed in Getchell Mill     A sad accident occurred in the Wolverine Lumber company's mill near Getchell last Saturday forenoon by which a young man by the name of Fred Smith lost his life. It seems that it was a habit at the mill to shove logs into the saw before the machinery had got fairly started, with the result that the belt slipped somewhat. To keep it from coming off, Mr. Smith took an axe, as others had done, and held it against the belt. Somehow the handle caught between the belt and the pulley, with the result that the axe swung around and the head of the axe struck him in the stomach. Word was immediately sent for the doctor, but the man died in twenty minutes.     The deceased was about 21 years old, born in North Carolina. He had been in this section of the country about two years. Before coming to this country he had belonged to the army, and he was buried in a soldier's uniform.     The body was brought to Marysville for burial, and the funeral was held from the Marysville Undertaking Parlors Monday afternoon. A number of people were present both from Getchell and Kellog Marsh where he was well known, having worked for some time in the Tatham-Nelson mill.
