Peters was engaged in putting a pump belt over a wheel when the belt broke and wound tightly around his body. He was caught and thrown over the revolving shaft. When went over the shaft he was thrown forcibly against the side of the building and it was from this cause that the greater part of his injuries resulted. He was carried to his home in Orono and Dr. Kelleher was summoned. It was at first thought that it would be impossible to save the man's life, so serious was the character of his injuries. Dr. Kelleher went about his task with a will and late Thursday night the man was resting comfortably. The principal injuries are internal and they may yet prove serious. Otherwise than this there is a fracture of the right arm at the wrist, a dislocation of the shoulder blade and a number of flesh and scalp wounds.
