IN ANJLEVATOR
Head of Bellwood Man Crush
ed In Accident in the Bran
deis Building; Dies
Instantly.
J. W. Grisinger, 65 years old, Bell
wood, Neb., was instantly killed at 8
o'clock yesterday morning when his
head vas crushed between the floor
of a Seventeenth street entrance
elevator in the Brandeis building,
and the ceiling of the second floor.
Grisinger entered the elevator
with his daughter, Mrs. Maud Han
sen, of Hollywood, Cal., to ascend
tot the office of an oculist, where he
was receiving eye treatment. He
was carrying two traveling bags, as
he intended to return to Bellwood
immediately after the treatment.
According to witnesses in the ele
vator, he lurched forward as the ele
vator started upward, fell to his
hands and knees, his head catching
between the elevator floor and the
ceiling of the second floor.
According to Guy H. Cramer, 3720
Lincoln boulevard, who was a pas
senger in the elevator, Grisinger
seemed to have been seized with a
fainting spell.
The elevator was operated by
Grace Overby, 1611 Avenue B, Coun
cil Bluffs. She has operated an ele
vator for two years. She was pros
trated with grief after the accident,
but was able to verify the story told
by Mr. Cramer.
Mrs. Hansen, who was forced to
witness her father's death, was un
der the doctor's care for several
hours after the accident. The only
relative in Omaha is W. E. Gris
inger, 4020 Burt street, a cousin, she
said.
Special Investigator M. A. Demp
sey of the county attorney's office,
pronounced the death accidental
and stated that there would be no
inquest.
Representatives of the state and
city elevator commissions, after an
investigation, said the elevator was
in good running order.

games. This year it was decided to
make the picnic a real family affair.
The basket picnic dinner was
eaten at 6 o'clock, families and
neighborhood groups gathering
around the tables spread in the
shade of the trees. Following the
dinner there was a theatrical pro
gram by employes from the Iten
Biscuit company and until close to
midnight the dancing floor was J
tilled.
While the associated grocers and
butchers were holding their picnic
at Krug park, managers and em

a picnic and attended by nearly
1,000 persons. There was smim
ming, boating and a liberal patroniz
