BRAKEMAN SISk
is SUMMONED
MILWAUKEE TRAINMAN INJURED
AT GAULT, MO, DIED THIS
MORNING.

From Tuesdays Daily.
AS result of an accident that oc-
Cured Thursday of last week, Ed.
sisk, an extra conductor in the en-
ploy of the Milwaukee railroad, died
at the hospital at Chillicothe. Mo-, this
a. M, at $50 o'clock
The accident occurred near Gault,
Mo-, Thursday, January 30, between
and o'clock, a. M, while Sisk was
acting as rear brakeman for Conductor
NJ. A. Freeman.
He left Ottumwa with train No. SO,
Wednesday evening at about 1870 p.
m, and the train was near Gault en-
route to Kansas City when Sisk, while
in the act Of climbing UP along the
ladder Of a car, was precipitated to
the rails by the breaking or pulling
out of one of the hand holds on the
ladder of the car.
Feet Crushed.
His feet were badly crushed and
mangled and the unfortunate man
was picked up and taken to the hospi-
tai at Chillicothe, Mo-, where he re-
manned until death relieved his suffer
ings. Attempts were made to ampu-
tate the crushed members but his
condition would not permit the opera
| ton without serious consequences to
| the patient. Comforting news of the
condition of Mr.. Sisk had been tele-
graphed from the bedside to his
friends in this city each day and no
later than yesterday it was reported
that he had spent favorable, night
Sunday.
1t is thought that the exposure to.
which the injured man was subjected
was instrumental in hurrying his
death.
1t was not learned what disposition
would be made of the remains and 1t
is not thought that they will be
brought to his late home at 204 North
Mclean street.
