A brakeman on the west bound freight
Tuesday night fell from car a few miles
this side of Mcfarland. He was not
missed until the train arrived in Nc
Farland. The engine was run back two
miles when the crew met the man walk
ing up the track unframed, which seems
almost miracle.
The changing of the new fire bell was
heard for the first time at just 8 o'clock
last Friday evening, the alarm being
caused by small blaze in the dwelling
part Of the old Brown building on Main
street. The fire, which was soon put
out, was probably the work of an in
cendiary, indications pointing that way.
Mrs Anderson the lady residing in the
apartment asserts that she had S155 in
bills pinned under one corner of COM
mode, and in close proximity had been
placed tin pan filled with excelsior to
which the match was set. After the
blaze had been extinguished no trace
could be found of the money.
Another shocking accident on the
track near the depot resulted in the
death Tuesday afternoon of Ole Borgrud
an aged man making his home with
Gullick Hellickson en- the east side. The
old man was coming from home on his
way up town and walked northward be-
tween the track to a point almost OPP
posite the lower hand car house when
he stepped on the main track immedi-
ately in front of the incoming 2:30 pas
senger train. The unfortunate man was
hurled through the air and struck with
the back of his head against the rail of
the adjoining track the back of his
skull being entirely crushed. The en-
gineer had whistled several sharp blasts
which should have given ample warning,
and it can only be supposed that the old
man was confused and stepped on to the
track instead of away from it. A cor
oner's inquest was held in the evening
the jury returning verdict of accidental
death, no blame being attached to any
one.
