Thursday morning brakeman by
the name of VIM. Mattson was killed
in the Kasota switch yards. The St.
Peter Herald gives the following &C.
count of the fatality: Tram No. %,
Conductor Sommers, was getting ready
to pull vest and VIM. Mattson was
} standing on the pilot of the engine
which was backing up to couple onto a
caboose standing on the side.track.
Mattson was standing on the pilot, with
one hand lifting the heave bar on the
engine, commonly called draw-bar,
and would have made the coupling safe
ly, had not the draw. bar Gu the cabOOse
given away, thus allowing the engine
to come close up and. in fact, run un-
der the caboose, thus pinning The un-
fortunate young man fast between the
caboose platform and front end of the
engine boiler After half an hours
hard work by the, other train men, he
was extricated from the yise-like in
strument of death which held him fast.
The caboose was raised several feet off
the track by the engine running under
it, and to have pulled him out from it
would only serve to frightfullY maDgle
the body. Consequently track-jacks
were used to further raise the caboose
flom the lifeless body Of him VINO was
i crushed beneath It. Life was extinct
long before the body was extricated,
and, in fact, before the engineer had
time to leave his cab to hasten to his
relief, Mattson had breathed his last,
probably suffering no pain, SO crushed
as be was.
