Workman Ground to Death.

Frankfort. Nov. 4.—Gus Geise, an employee of the Clover Leaf railroad here, met with a tragic death while he was at work in the coal chute owned by the company in the yards. The chains that operate the giant buckets were out of repair and Geise had gone under the chute in order to repair them. Another workman, not knowing that he was at work at the buckets, started them and Geise w'as trapped and ground to death as the buckets revolved: Geise was fortytwo years old and leaves a widow and six children.
