E.C. Jones Found Dead at Drake
E.C. Jones, employee in the C.H. Burch wholesale house of Drake, was found dead Monday morning in an elevator shaft in the Burch warehouse.
Belief was expressed that Jones took his own life, and that he was prompted by brooding over ill health. His body was hanging in the elevator shaft, in the basement.
Jones was a long-time resident of Drake. He was a stockholder in the C.H. Burch company, as well as a former salesman.
He leaves his wife and one daughter, Mrs. Roy Hegge, wife of a Drake druggist. A son died several years ago.
Relatives and acquaintances said that Jone's [sic] health had been poor for several years.

Martin Gores was taken to the Community hospital at Rolette Wednesday after having his right hand severely cut. He and Peter Heinz were grinding feed and were having trouble keeping the belt on the pulley. When Mr. Gores was going to wire the belt somehow so it would not slip, his hand was caught between the belt and pulley and cut through the ligaments and tendons to the bone completely around the hand. Dr. Reed gave him tetanus serum and it was hoped blood poisoning would not set in. No further particulars are note at this writing.
