DEATH WAS
AN ACCIDENT
CORONER'S JURY BELIEVES THAT
ERICKSON FELL UNDERNEATH
CAR AND WAS KILLED.
Mar Seer to Climb Upon Car in Effort
to Cross Train and Was Not Seen
Alive Aeain-Blood Stains Found
on Fifth Car in Train After It Had
Reached Cheyenne.

The coroner's jury in the Ole Erick-
son case completed it's labors this
forenoon, returning a verdict that the
engineer had probably come to his
death by falling underneath a train
pulling out from the yards for Chey-
enne on the night of Tuesday, April
%. 1t was the opinion Of the jury
thai the man had tried to crawl be-
tween the cars and that in so doing
he had fallen and been ground to
pieces. The funeral occurred this aft
ernoon from the West Side church,
with services by Rev. Oscar Woods,
Damon lodge, Knights Of Pythias;
Rocky Mountain division, Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers; Black Hills
lodge, Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen, and the Ladies
auxiliary to the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen attending as bodies,
larger numbers of the four organize
tons being present.
Seen to Climb Upon Car.
At the inquest this morning, which
was resumed after the adjournment
last afternoon, it was proven that a
man presumed to have been Erickson
was seer to climb aboard one Of the
cars, between the fourth and fifth
cars from the head of thI train, while
the train was in motion. This was
brought out by a young man and
young lady on their way from the west
side to the ball at Maennerchor hall
that evening. The man, whom neither
of the witnesses knew, stood On the
north side Of Grand avenue, west of
the train. He was eel to climb be-
tween the cars. The witnesses stood
lear the southern line of the street,
also on the west side Of the train.
When the opening between the two
cars came opposite them they looked
and failed TO see the man. After the
train had passed and they could see
up Grand avenue, they remarked that
he was nowhere in sight and wondered
what had become of him. 1t is the
belief of Coroner Ballard and the
members of the jury that the man was
Erickson, and that he fell underneath
the car before it had left the crossing
and was rolled along the track, being
mangled as the car proceeded. The
witnesses saw nothing of this, how
ever.
Blood Found on Car.
At Cheyenne, yesterday afternoon,
the fifth car in Conductor McCormick's
train, the second section of No. 90,
which was believed to have been the
train which caused Erickson's death,
meath and about the trucks, which
served to fix that as the car under
which the man had fallen.
Kelly Did Not See Erickson.
James Kelly, the employment agent,
denied having seen Erickson on the
other side of the train, and declared
he had given no information to that
effect. The verdict of the jury tends
to fix no blame upon the railroad COM
pany, and while there was no fault to
be found with the condition of the
crossing, as the train was in motion,
it nevertheless adds one more victim
to the list as the result of the grade
crossing at that place.
