MEETS A HORRIBLE DEATH
Patrick II. Kelley, Former Great North
ern Employe Here. Killed In
St. Paul Yards.


The sad news reached this city late
last night of the killing Of Pat Il.
Kelley, we'll known here as a former
employe of the Great Northern, in q
rear end collision between a Great
Northern switch engine and Chica-
20, Burlington & Quincy freight train
at $50 yesterday afternoon.
The following is taken from an &C.
count of the accident in today's St..
Paul Globe:
The collision occurred just east of
the Westminster street bridge, on the
Great Northern tracks, and was fol-
lowed by fire which completely con-
sumed the caboose of the freight train
and cremated Kelley's body.
Sh srt'y before clock Switch En-
CINE No. 33], of the Great Northern,
in charge of Engineer Charles Hughes
and Fireman James Borshaski, both
OF Minneapolis, was ordered from tie
mill yards in Minneapolis to St. Paul.
Hughes says that the steam from his
engine was so great that he was un-
alb to see the signals as he sped
through the St. Paul yards. When
within few rods of the Burlington
train, which was MOVING slowly in a
southerly direction. he observed that
the switch was open. He put on the
brakes and reversed the lever, but the
engine had attained such great veloci-
ty that it continued to sp ed forward
with great force.
The rext instant the heavy engine
dashed into the caboose of the freight
rain, the engineer and fireman hav-
ing jumped.
SO great was its velocity that it
plowed half way through the caboose
and telescoped that car into the box
car in front of it.
Conductor, Kelley was the only man
in the caboose at the time Of the acct
dent, the other members of the train
c. ew were busy attending the brakes
and switches. Kelley was caught be-
tween the car and the engine and lit
orally ground to pieces.
Then the fire followed, adding
horror to the wreck. The fire depart
ment WAS called, and after An hours
fight finally got the blaze under con-
troll.
Kelley's body was found near the
center Of the caboose, wedged between
the engine and the car, and was burned
far beyond recognition.
Kelley lived at 500 Hastings avenue,
and is survived by a widow and two
small children. He was thirty five
years of age, and had been in the EN-.
ploy of the Burlington system for sew.
eral years. When his wife was in
formed of his death she became pros
trated, and at q late hour last night
it was necessary to call a physician,
so critical had her condition become.
Coroner Miller held only a prelimin.
ary investigation last evening, but
will thoroughly investigate the case
today. He was not decided last night
where he would hold an inquest, but
one will probably be held to place thu
responsibility for Kelley's death.
