FATAL ACCIDENT--A.E. Evans of Brooklyn, was horribly mangled by a wood buzz-saw Saturday. He was engaged in throwing the sawed wood in piles. At the time of the accident he was throwing the wood over the saw into a pile, and, his foot slipping, he fell into the saw. The saw jerked him into such a position that his legs were also thrown against the saw, and both arms and legs were horribly mangled. Mr. Evans was taken to his home and died about noon Saturday.
