News of his death was received here yesterday, but no particulars as to how the unfortunate man met his death, have been given out. Mr. John Lebotte who was interviewed by a reporter yesterday afternoon stated that he understood that Rohr was struck by a flying pulley which became dislodeged from a shaft in the mill. It is said that another man met his death in the same mill last week in a similar manner. The body will be brought here today for burial. Mr. Rohr, who was a man of about 41 years of age, was born and brought up in the town of Lincoln. For years he was a wellknown character in this vicinity where he was employed as a woodsmen and river driver in the early lumbering days.

Shortly after his marriage he left with his wife for Foster City where he has resided ever since and has been employed as a woodsman and mill hand.
