CAUGHT IN A SNOW PLow.
One of a Train Crew Meets HOr-
rtbIe Death.

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 21.-As the result of
a recent accident the Great Northern near
Summit Mont, details of which were re-
ceived here today, Oscar Funts, Of Spokane,
met a fearful death, being literally cut to
pieces inside rotary snow plow.
The crew were engaged in cleaning out
cuts and the weather being intensely cold,
the fan constantly froze up and became
clogged. Funts went up to the plow to clean
out the knives While thus engaged, the en-
gineer says he called to Funts to come down,
and he would make another trip bucking the
snow. The engineer says Funts heard him
and answered. Steam was turned on and
! the train went ahead, but Funts did not re-
turn to the cab. The engineer found in some
way he had been caught in the machinery
and thrown into the knives, which cut and
slashed his body in horrible manner.
Funts was 90 years of age, unmarried, and
had recently taken out a life insurance policy
in favor of his widowed mother.

Rp0iis.

Christian A. Stengle, who for the
past decade has been one of the famil-
lar characters of Cedar avenue, passed
/ away suddenly at his home, 2515 Ninth
street south, early yesterday morning.
Death was due to heart trouble.
Stengle was born in Norway sixty
six years ago, and was a veteran tele-
graph operator. In fact, he was the
first to receive and send dispatches
over the magic electric wire in Norway.
This was in the early SOS. The first
line was constructed between Chris
tiana and Oslo. Stengle was in Chris
tiana, and a short time before the line
was placed had overcome the intrica-
cies Of the new science. He worked
for months on this line, and subse-
quently received and sent messages
over the system that was subsequently
branched out to the different parts of
the country At his "sounder" in
| Christiana he received the news of the
larger cities of the country, and was
a factor in notifying the world of the
arrival of the Arctic explorer, Nor
denskjold from his remarkable trip
northward twenty years ago. Stengle
saw the telegraph system become an
important factor in the fishing indus
try of the country. Far out to danger
Gus reefs the wires were laid, and many
an autumn night he received the mes
sage chronicling the arrival of the her
ring, and witnessed the annual excite
ment attendant on the breaking OF this
news. Stengle gradually grew old in
the service. Younger men learned his
art, and probably became more eff
ficient, and, after nearly forty years at
the key he was retired The Nor
Wegian government conducts it's own
telegraph system, and, as an apprecia-
ton to the old veteran when he was
retired, a regular pension was allowed.
This he was a beneficiary of up to the
time of his death.
About ten years ago he, with his
family, removed to this country, and
has been resident of Minneapolis ever
since.
When Stengle retired Tuesday even
ing he was in apparent good health
1t was not until O'Clock that he COM
menced to fail. His wife and family
were by his bedside endeaVOring to as
sist him. But thirty" was near, and
then the "sounder" ceased.
