John Lewis, who was working the farm, had four horses, several wagons and carriages, twenty tons of hay, several hundred bushels of oats and all his farm implements in the barn.

Salisbury, assisted by Olin Boskit, was sawing one of the trees and when nearly sawed in two it broke on the stump and fell in the opposite direction from which it was intended. If he had stood still no accident would have occurred but Mr. Salisbury, apparently becoming confused, ran directly under the falling tree, which struck, killing him instantly.
