He was putting a locker into the wheel of a tub when it was moving and his finger was accidentally tripped between the locker and the tub. The injury did not appear to be serious at the time though the finger was badly crushed and the skin broken. Blood poisoning of a malignant type supervened and he died on February 29th.
