As the result OF street car accident
Patrick Cahill, living at Thirty-first and u
streets, is dead at the South Omaha hos
pital The man took a West q street car
to go to his home about o'clock last
night and as the car was crossing the via
duct and approaching Thirty-second street
he fell off in such manner as to be unable
TO save himself. There are several stories
of the affair, one of which is that as the
car was about two-thrds of the way over
the viaduct Cahill tried to pass around the
outside of the railing which divides the
rear platform of the large cars. In doing
this his grip slipped, and before he could
recover his balance he was beyond aid.
He fell off backward and struck with great
force, pitching from his feet onto the back
OF his head. They took him to a drug store
between Twenty-seventh and Twenty
eighth on Q street, where DIR. Koutsky at
tended him. The doctor ordered the ann
bulance at once. and the driver made an
emergency run to the South Omaha hos
pital, because 1t was feared the man might
die before his arrival. At the hospital he
was attended by priest as well as the
doctors. He died before midnight without
recovering consciousness. .
