HIS LAST TRIP.
A Well Known Engineer. John Buckley,
Is Dead.

John Buckley. who recently died at
Cooperstown. N. D.. left a brother
and many other relatives in Butte,
and was we'll known by railroad men
all through Montana. The jamestown
Argus of Nov. IA gives this account
of his sickness and death:
Sunday the earthly remains of En-
gineer John Buckley were brought to
jamestown from Cooperstown on a
special train, and a large crowd of sor-
rowing friends and relatievs greeted
the arrival OF the body at the depot.
The news of the death of Mr.. Buck
ley from pneumonia of the right lung
Sunday morning at about o'clock,
was a great surprise to his acquaint-
ances here. Wednesday preceding he
complained Of a soreness In his lungs,
and was in this CITY. He returned to
his home in Cooperstown and went to
bed. Thursday he seemed better and
Friday he was apparently no worse.
Saturday. however. he became delirious
and tried to get out Of bed. He suf-
fered severe attack of paralysis of
the right side and fell into a partially
unconscious condition from which he
never arose. The shock of paralysis
was due to hemorrhage of the brain.
Saturday night. in order to render the
sick man all the aid possible, a special
left jamestown for Cooperstown at
midnight, conveying DR., Moore to as
sist in counsel in the case. Rev.
Father McFee also was on the train,
and his services rather than the physi-
clans were needed. as he arrived only
to administer the rites OF the church
to the dying man. There were four
physiciaens In the case. which was In
charge of Drs. Kerr, Corey and Platon
OF Cooperstown. DIR. Mcconnell of
Fargo arrived soon after death, and
DR.. Moore too late to be of service
Before death the patients temperature
rose to los, about as high as It ever
gets.
Engineer Buckley was said to be the
most popular man in Cooperstown and
had hosts of friends along the North
ern Pacific and in this city. He was
sober. industrious and OF a cheerful
disposition, 35 years Of age and un-
married. He was a member of a large
family of brothers and sisters and his
aid to them has always been generous
and continuous. Few railroad men on
the Dakota division were as we'll known
and none had more friends.
The sympathy of the entire commun-
ity is extended to the bereaved family
in their great affiiction. Mr. Buckley
was one of the men who can Ill be
spared in any family or community.
The 18th of October Mr.. Buckley
reached mis- 35th year. For IL years
he has lived in this tate. coming to
Fargo in 1879. After remaining there a
short time he came to jamestown,
which since has remained his head
quarters. For 10 wears he has had a
run as engineer on the Sanborn, Coop
erstown & Turtle Mountain branch of
the Northern Pacific running between
Sanborn and Cooperstown. His face
was as familiar to every one along the
line as the presence OF the train Itself
and everyone had good word for
John" His friends We're wherever
he had been. His demise leaves the
following members of the family to
mourn for him. His father, Con, an

city. Frank. employed by L. ID. Strong,
