SHASTA VIEW LUMBER & BOX COMPANY
Klamath Falls
May 31, 1925: "C. Newhouse, employed as off-bearer at the new Shasta View Lumber and Box company, was almost instantly killed at the plant yesterday at 4 p.m., when the sleeve of his right arm became entangled in some unknown manner in a live roller, resulting in the arm being torn completely from his body, near the shoulder.
Newhouse was reported to be an experienced mill worker, but had been working at the Shasta View but two days before his tragic death. No one witnessed the accident, and Nine brothers, operators of the mill, say they are at a loss to know how the unfortunate man was caught. A state inspector passed upon the safety arrangement of the mill only a week ago, they explained last night.
Dr. Campbell was called immediately following the accident, and he arrived at the mill ten minutes later to find Newhouse already dead from shock and loss of blood. The man lived but two or three minutes after the accident. The body will be shipped tomorrow to Denver, Colorado, Newhouse's former home. He leaves a wife and nine-year-old daughter here."
