HAD PREMONITION OF DEATH

New Jersey Man’s Fear of Coming Disaster Laughed at by Comrades, But It Was Verified.

John Hueselmans, superintendent Jf a lumber yard in .Harrison, N. J., itarted home after a day of intense worry through fear of Impending disaster. His premonition caused several of the workmen to deride him. John Bissell of Newark led in the scoffing. As Hueselmans was passing a 40-!oot-high pile of heavy timbers Bissell, who*was at work on top, uttered a warning cry and leaped to the ground. Is he did so the great bulk of lumber swayed and toppled over. Hueselmans was buried beneath the mass and was Instantly killed. Bissell, by his leap, avoided the crumbling pile and landed lust beyond the timbers. The fall, however, resulted in his receiving numerous fractures and he was removed In a critical condition to St. Michael’s hospital. ' A crowded trolley car was passing the lumber yard at the time. The passengers, many of them workmen on their way home, rushed to the spot and began moving the timbers. It was half an hour before Hueselmans* mangled body was extricated.
