Roland Waterman Killed.

Another sad accident-occurred on tho
Great Northern railroad, near rJsnes'
cut. about five miles west iof Wiiliston.
early laet Sunday morning. in which
Roland Waterman, n workman in the
bridge crew, was killed. The facts in
the case, as developed at the coroner's
inquest held at the court house in this
city, are briefly summed up ~ follows:
Eight members Of the bridge crew had
started out on a hand-car to do some
work required on small bridge near
the city, and Just as they had passed
through the cut, at which place there
-is a sharp curve, and were nearing
bridge No. l44, an engine from Glasgow
came around the curve. The hand-car
With the men was then less than,15 feet
from end Of the bridge. and the engine
was about 200 feet away coming at high
rate Of speed As soon as the men saw
the engine one Of then, yeHed Jump
and seven of them Immediately left the,
car. safely landing on the ground two to.
eight feet from the bridge, Waterman
alone remaining on the car. The testi-
mony went to show that he could also
have jumped before reaching the bridge,
but why he did not do so is mystery,
unless he was too paralysed with fear in
the instant to moye. The engineer and
tiremen say they sounded the whistle
twice while rounding the curve, and
that as soon as they saw the hand-car,
which was about two hundred feet
ahead, they put on the break and at
once reversed the engine, but were
too late. and they caught the hand.car
with Waterman on it when it was few
feet ont on the bridge. Waterman,s
body was picked, up III 4 horribly mutt
aated condition and brought to Willistop,
where the inquest was held. The YER
dict Of the coroner's jury exonerates the
railroad company from all responsibility
for the accident.
Roland Waterman was sbautr ra5 q eass
old and we'll thought of by all who knew
him. He was member Of the Modern
.Woodmen of America .and: belonged to
Camp in South Dakota. sHis father,
mother and a sister reside at.Elrod; So.
Oak. and brother.in.lsw lives at
!Bridgewater, s. D. The remains were
taken in charge by Wiiliston Camp No.
1886, and buried with all the honovs Of
the Modern Woodmen's ceremony, Rev.
Gooderham officiating. The corpse was
nicely dressed, and the casket was one
Of the finest that corld be procured ID
the city. Great credit is due the Mod
ern Woodmen Of Williston for the true
brotherly work they displayed in this
burial of brother who was compare
lively stranger in their midst.

Death of Joseph Bergh.

Through the telegragpbic dispatches
from Santiago, we receive the sad in
telligence of the death of Joseph I.
Bergh, Of Troop F. 9th Cavalry, U. S. A.,
whose death occurred from malarial
fever on July 30th. The deceased was
brother Of Mr.. Olaf Bergh of this city,
and was district and city assessor for
this place in the spring Of 1897. In July
OF last year Joe Bergh left Williston FOR
Grand Forks. where he accepted a
position as collector for one Of the large
machinery companies doing business in
North Dakota, but his restless spirit was
not adopted to that kind of work, and
having served two years in the regular
army before. he last fall re-enisted in
the service and was enrolled in troop F.
9th Cavalry, then stationed at Ft. Leav-
enworth, Kansas When the war with
Spain broke out, his regiment was
among the first ordered to the front,
and the last letter received from him by
his brother Olaf was few days before;
his regiment left Tampa, Fla, and ac-
cording to the tone of his letter the
hearts of the boys were aglow with
patriotic fire. The 9Th Cavalry was
among those who were in the terrible
fight before Santiago, and it seems that
Joe was one of those who passed through
that fearful ordeal unscathed, only to
meet death in more. sad and cruel
form. The writer of this notice has
known Joseph Bergh for fourteen years,
from his boyhood days, you may say,
and we always knew him to be an ex.
amplory youth. The same characteris-
tics grew up with him in his manhood,
rendering him companionable associ-
ate and worthv the fullett confidence of
his fellow comrades. Joe had hosts of
friends wherever he went, and eveyone
will feel sad to learn OF his untimely
demise.
