CHARLES CLENDENNING
[Welland Tribune, 1 October 1897]
Chas. Clendenning, manager of the Humberstone planning mills, nearly met his death on Saturday, last. While moving amongst the revolving machinery, his clothing caught on the main shaft, tearing a portion from his body and pulling hard against the whirling iron. By a superhuman effort he grasped the pulley with his hands and held with such a firm grip that the belt on the main pulley slipped and allowed the machinery to stand until steam could be shut off. Mr. Clendenning was severely shaken up, but is thankful to have escaped death.
