PETER ULRICH MEETS DEATH

IN ACCIDENT TUESDAY MORNING

Stone Work on Top of Wall on New Rentschler Building Gives Way Precipitating Well Known Mason to Sidewalk Resulting in Broken Neck.

Death from a broken neck, was the tragic fate of Peter Ulrich, the well known brick and stone mason, when the stone decorations being placed on the top of the new Rentschler building on Michigan St., gave way Tuesday morning, precipitating Ulrich to the sidewalk below, resulting in his death twenty minutes later. The heavy stone being used to finish the top of the front wall, projected over the front of the building, and becoming top heavy, tore from the fresh mortar holding them and crashed to the sidewalk below, a couple tons of stone and brick crashing in the cement walk upon which they fell, like an egg shell. Ulrich fell upon the debris, and was killed as the result of his fall, alighting upon the back of his head and neck. The skull was not fractured, and Doctors Knott and Preston who immediately attended him, pronounced death to have been caused from breaking of the spinal cord in the neck or back. Were Finishing Front Ulrich was working with three others, on a scaffold inside of the new building, and were engaged in finishing the front with stone decorations. The accident occurred at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. With Ulrich were working Philip Haag. Schuyler Griggs and a stone placer from South Bend. A windless derrick had been set up, with which to raise the heavy stones from the ground to the top, and to hold and swing the stones, while they were being placed. Haag and Griggs were operating the crank to the windless and the foreman and Ulrich were placing the stone. His fellow workmen, say that when the accident occurred, a stone had just been let down, and Ulrich had leaned forward, bending over the front of the stone just placed, to scrape off the surplus of mortar, and see that the stone was exactly in place. Suddenly there was a grinding crash and the entire stone work which had been placed upon the top, slipped from its position and fell to the sidewalk below. Ulrich was leaning upon the stones when they became dislodged and lost his balance as the stone work fell, falling across the brick wall, upon which the stones were placed. He seized the brick wall frantically ,in an effort to save himself. The mortar holding these bricks was fresh, and the bricks tore loose in his grasp and precipitated him to the broken stone work on the sidewalk below. Narrow Escape from Death. John Kinch, a laborer on the building, engaged in hauling mortar to the masons above, owes his life to the chance accident of conversation with a friend. Kinch had started to enter the building from the street, and was about twelve feet from the spot where the masonry crashed, when the accident occurred. Kinch saw the tragedy from below, and was at the side of Ulrich instantly. The unfortunate man was motionless, apparently dead. He was carried to the W. F. Sult grocery store, a few doors away on Michigan street, where Dr. D. C. Knott attended him at once. He pronounced the man dying. The skull was not crushed, and death was caused from a broken neck. The chance which saved the life of Kinch was a short conversation with Fred Himes, who as he passed told Kinch that he had a razor which he wished to sell him. Kinch replied "Bring it around," and started to enter the building with a wheel barrow full of mortar. Two seconds sooner, Kinch would have been crushed beneath the falling stone and brick. Wall too Weak. An inspection of the wall, on which the stone was being placed, which in falling caused the death of Ulrich, reveals a very unsubstantial foundation for the placing of such stone work, and if the stone did not fall, would be a greater wonderment, than the fact that they did. The wall at the top. is eight inches wide. The heavy projecting stones rested upon this thin wall, and a ledge of other stones a few inches lower 3 1/2 inches wide. The stones being placed projected far over the frail wall supporting it. The mortar holding the brick wall, was fresh. There was no anchors of any kind used, to hold the heavy decorating stones in

place. How they were expected to remain in position is hard to perceive. The appearance of the wall from the top would seem that if the stones should remain in place until the mortar hardened there would always be a very strong probability of the front

of the building giving way some time in the future, with possibilities of death to whomever happened to be beneath the building when it fell. Work Has Stopped. After the accident Tuesday morning, work on the building which was being pushed to completion stopped. The workmen, especially those working with Ulrich were dis-spirited. Haag and Griggs sat in the building, seemingly dazed. Ulrich was an old resident of the city and is known to every workman of Plymouth. His tragic death, comes as a shock to his family and many friends. Peter Ulrich Peter Ulrich was born in New York state, on Oct. 4, 1852 and died March 20, 1910 aged 57 years. A wife and six children survive him, Mrs. Ida Young of Ft. Wayne, Mrs. E. H. Shrider and Mrs. J. S. Berlin of Ft. Wayne, Carl of Kalamazoo, Henry and Irene of Plymouth. Five brothers John, Philip and Adam of Ohio, and Charles of Detroit, Henry of Plymouth and 2 sisters Katherine Baker and Elizabeth Kuhn of Ohio and his father Peter Ulrich who also resides in Ohio, are other relatives who mourn their loss. He has four grandchildren, Wayne Young, Ruth Shrider, Mildred and Frederick Berlin. Mr. Ulrich has resided in Plymouth for many years. By occupation he was a mason. FARMERS APPROVE Communication from Chas. Heim Commends the Library Movement in Plymouth. The. effort being put forward by the citizens of Plymouth for a Public Library with waiting .room privileges Jwill meet hc hearty approval of the rural people. Especially are !rhey interested in the conversation and toilet room features that are being advocated. Such accommolations are needed by the country people, who come to Plymouth to transact business and do their weekly trading. ' At present there is no place where a tired molther and children can retire for a few minutes recuperation unless they do so at the mercy of the merchants. How often when entering a store do we find tired women and children trying to rest themselves upon counters and boxes, often to the detriment of the business. What a contrast would be a pub lic waiting room, with chairs, running water and toilet room. A place where after several miles drive from the county the family coull piflb themselves in a presentable appearance before beginning their trading. Many successful mercflilants of the large cities have such accomrrvxlations in their stores and find them to be profita.le to their retail business. ShouM the samt privileges be provided for m Plymouth, they would be much appreciated by the farmers and the trade relations between city and country extended. Also there 'will be a steady increase in tllie number of boys and girls attending the High School in Plymouth. A library with a waiting and reading room would be of inestimable value to these young people. And the waiting an 1 reading room provided with heat and light would remove many in. conveniences met with while attending school during stormy weather. As Plymouth continues to grow as the social trade, and political cerlter of the county, the raflroadls will continue to bring more people to Plymouth. A waiting-room favorably situated would be profitably osed while waiting ior the train. Aside from these practical helps, there would l the identical eftect upon the surrounding community, which is worthy of consideration. We can not say what the people of Plymouth will do, but consideration for the needs of the country people will be much .appreciated. Very truly, Chas. W. Heim

MOUTH BAUD DISSOLVES 00-' GfflZllIIDfJ AFTER EIGHT YEARS Loss of Members, Lack of Support and Loss of Interest Cause for Disbanding of Best Band City Has Ever Had in Its History.

The Plymouth Band, which has been classed as the best ameture musical onramrati.-m northern Indiana, ha disbanded. The Iband whicBi lor the nast eight years has been the pride of rjymoutn, representing its nätive town in a most creditable man ner, when away from home, entertaining the citizens with con certs, during the summer months -4ieadilng the triumphal proces sions oi a winning base ball team or a prize Conrmandry, with its enlivening quick-steps, or leading line saa procession of leading citizens to the ceanetery with its ever famous Webster, and other dirges, has, wrthbut a dirge, executed its own funerall march. At a meeting held Saturday nighlt, tflie members of the band voted to disorganize and appoint, ed a committee to dispose of the property of the band. Loss of members, and loss of interest by the remaining members is the cause for the disruption of täie Plymouth Band. The band owns considerable property, consisting of a new tuba, arid trther good; windl appurCainments, which go to make up a band. The committee which' . has in diarge the sale of the band property is composed of Messrs. Fred Price, B. M. Seybold and Wm. C. Jlendricks. Best in History. The present brass and reed bani!, is the best organization of its kind of whfich the city of Plymouth, has ever boasted. Plymouth has had brass bands, off and on, during t the greater part of its history. The life of each oi the preceding organizations, was generally an average of tlireeto four years.- Sortie -of the bands organized did not re main in organization for over a few months. The intervening years or month's between the or ganization of bands, the city was wont to engage bands from neighboring towns, to furnisli music for the summer concerts. Then after being without a band for, a year or so, a new organization would be formed, and so forth. The present or rather last band Was organized eight vears ago, and continued in uninterrupted existance, until last Saturday evening. This band has .been un der the excellent conductorship of Benjamin 'M. Seybold, and the giooiü showing winch: the band made, together with its compara tively very long Jrfe, is due di rectly and absolutely to the uning efforts of .Mr. beybold, who allldted most of his time, and worked with untiring zeal for the Plymouth (band, to make it a success, a better ibandi, and! to keq) it in existance. Several times tiie dissolution of the band vas threatened, but eadhi time, a renewed interest was aroused arid with a new burst of vitality, the organization continued. At one time the membership of the band, numbered twenty-six members. A finer ban, consider ing the size of the city could not be found anywhere. The band was composed mostly oi younir men. and as is the hisftory of every small city, the encroachment of manhood, beckoned away the youth of Che town, and in 'the emmigration to the crty, he Plymouth band has sufferel. Since the taking Of the picure published herewihi, the membership of the band Was changed considerably, many of he members leaving the band, and others being admitted. At he time of its disbandling,- the band numbered fourteen !memjers. Among the members of the rand, could be found same of the best band irtstrmment players in his portion of the state, there eing a very few adept players amongst its membersinp. City Without a Band. The fadt that the crty of Ply mouth win be without a band, is rrripvincr and i n, hlmw to the d?tvJ W?th Ithe iplanning o;f a great season of sports in Ply mouth, a good base ball team, holiday entertainments, racing, etc., the absence of a band thir year will be felt keenly, and the very few, who before did not ap preciate the band, will miss it this year. Pt is not likely, that a new Organization can be formed, at least this year. The band has been stripped of vital parts, by the moving away of players, until the importation of a large number of musicians would be necessary for any performance. The officers of the ,and, at its

disorganization, who were elected fast spring were: Eldridge Thompson. Manager, Secretary Fred Price. Treas. Benjamin E. Einkenhelt.
