The old pump house at Benjamin

Utah · USA · House

The old pump house at Benjamin, Utah regulated the irrigation flow out to the farms.

The account concerns two men working there alone one night. One of them was caught in the machinery and pulled in, and it killed him.

The other tried to get him out. His arm was caught, and he bled to death.

Neither man is named and no record has been produced, so it is set down as local account rather than as history. It should be said that deaths of exactly this kind were routine in agricultural machinery of the period, and that they usually happened to the second man as well as the first, for the reason described here.

The building is disused and stands on farmland.
