BURIED IN NEwBERG.
Body of the Late Albert McPoland
Passed Through the City This
Morning.

The body of the late Albert Nc
Poland arrived in Salem this morning
from Saginaw, on the early train,
and was transferred TO the boat, to
be taken to Newburg for burial. The
sudden death comes as a shock to
the many Salem friends. The report
yesterday of the sad accident was
meagre. but IL is now reported that
he was doing marking work for the
Booth-Kelly Lumber Company, fol-
lowing the men who were falling the
timber. Just how the accident hap
pened will probably never be known,
as Albert was alone and was found
an hour and a half after being seen
by the workmen. A tree had fallen
on him, badly mangling his shoulder
and head. Death was supposed TO
have resulted instantly. Newburg is
his old home. and he has relatives
living there.
He was a member OF the Odd Eel
lows and one other fraternal organi-
cation
