the San Francisco toll case, which in

DEATH OF JOSEPH B. sYvERUD.
A Brave Generous Hearted Young Gentleman Meets With
Tragic Death. General Regret and Deep
Sympathy for Parents.

Joseph Syverud who had been work
Ing with a local ',fiage building COM
pany down near Hudson for several
days found a holiday last Friday DIV
ing to q lack Of bridge material and
with many other Cantonites attended
the Hudson festival In the afternoon
and started for Canton or the belated
evening train due here at 1880 which
was two hours late. He mingled free
.ly with his friends coming up and
Just as the train crossed the river he
got up and walked out on the plat
form saying he would jump of when
south of his fathers home and save
walking back from the depot. Con-
ductor Connolly who happened to hear
Joe's remark about jumping off adyis-
ed him not to do it as it was danger
Gus, but Joe having served as a brake
man on the Sioux City line felt per-
fectly secure in making the jump.
The train was under good speed as
it turned the curve after crossing the
bridge and when Joe had figured out
the place to jump, it being quite dark,
he said good night to Mr.. Whitehead
who was on the platform and he made
the fatal leap into darkness and al
most instant destruction. The speed
of the train may have been faster
than he realized, but that would have
made no difference if he could have
seen where he was going to land, be-
cause he was active, powerful and an
athlete. The darkness proved his I'M
doing. He was brave to recklessness
and never counted on risks.

After the train reached the depot
Conductor Connolly walked back over
the track to see If anything had hap
pened to the daring young man. and
his fear of an accident justified the
wisdom Of his kindly act. The body
was found near the track horribly
mutilated and the Pickering life
throbs were almost over. The train
was backed down and the body taken
to the depot and his parents notified.
It was a heart breaking message.
They heard the dreadful news and the
sorrow OF that hour belongs to the
sacredness of bleeding hearts.
The body a removed to the UNI
dertaking rooms Of O. 4. Campbell
where 1t was prepared for the casket
by Mr.. Campbell, who carefully and
scientifically arranged the body for
the habiliments Of the grave. The
face looked natural and but for the
slight abrasions on the forehead NO
one would have ever dreamed that he
had been crushed to death the night
before. Mr.. Campbell is an expert IN
the undertaking line.
1t would seem that when Joe jump
ed he must have struck bit OF rough
ground rather higher than the track
and fell and rolled on the track the
instant he struck the ground. Both
feet were almost severed from the
legs and his abdomen showed a CHASTITY
wound clear across the body. In our
opinion the contact and deadly
wounds were so sudden that death
came the instant he rolled under the
train. With the flash of danger came
the end. There could have been no
suffering or agony.
The first part Of the funeral service
took place at the home of his parents
at 2 O'Clock Sunday which was con-
Quoted by Rev. p. III. Tetlie, after
which the body vas removed to the

being a member of that organization.
When the funeral cortege arrived
the church was packed with friends
OF the deceased and the family, room
alone for the chief mourners being re-
served, and many were unable TO get
inside.
1t was half past three when the
service began and five when the body
removed to the hearse.
The service was impressive and the
sermon by Rev. Tetlie wasieloquent,
bringing tears to the eyes of many.
spoke both in Norwegian and In
English. A large choir aided by Miss
Judith Anderson at the pipe organ
rendered appropriate music which
aroused sad memories in many an ach-
ing heart In that vast audience.
At the close Of the service the aud
fence fled past the flag draped, flower
covered caSket and took a last look at
the handsome boyish face cold in
death. The guardsmen headed by
Capt. Berg with bowed heads took a
last farewell OF their cemrade.

keenly the occasion that called them
there.
