Killed in the Nekoosa Mill.
Joseph Jankowski, a man employed
in the Nekoosa paper mill, was in-
stantly killed last Saturday by the
bursting of a barker in the wood
room. A piece of the ruptured
wheel struck the young man in the
head and crushed his skull. Another
employe of the mill, Alex Wolski
was struck by some of the flying
parts and injured, but not seriously.
Jaukowski was about twenty-three
years of age and unmarried.

The breaking of a barking machine
in the paper mill Saturday morning at
about 7:30 o'clock resulted in the
almost instantaneous death of Joseph
Jankowski and the serious injury of
Felix Wulski. The men were at work
at the barker, a machine used for trim-
ming the bark off the bolts when the
latter without a moments warning
burst into fragments. Part of the
machine struck Joseph Jankowski on
the forehead with such force as to
crush the skull...
His death resulted an hour
later. The other man Felix Wulski,
received numerous scalp wounds and
other serious bruises about the neck
and face, none of which however are
of a fatal nature, and his complete re-
covery is hoped for.
Jos. Jankowski, who is unmarried
and his brother, Walter, came to Ne-
koosa from Russia about a year ago
and secured work at the paper mill.
Walter is now working at Port Ed-
wards. The funeral of Mr. Jankowski
was held Monday morning at the
Catholic church with interment made
in the Nekoosa cemetery...
