EVERY DROP OF BLOOD DRAWN FROM HIS BODY

Engineer Dies Awful Death From Contact With Suction Pipe.

Chicago, May 11 — By having almost every drop of blood drawn from his body when his leg was caught in a suction pipe, Walter Hunter, an engineer employed by Armour & Company, was killed today while repairing the power plant.

The post mortem examination showed that Hunter's heart was shriveled up, his lungs were flat and empty and there was scarcely any trace of blood in the organs of the upper part of the body. Several of the arteries in Hunter's leg were broken by the suction.
