Fatal Struggle For a Broom.

Further particulars of the accident
which caused the death of Charles L.
Waters, of Highwood, are given by
the Great Falls newspapers, which
report that the unfortunate young
man died at Columbus hospital at an
early hour Monday morning.
1t appears that Mr.. Waters was q
member of a crowd that was engaged
Sunday evening In placing decorating
bombs upon the street railway tracks
for the fun of hearing them explode
as the cars passed over them. AS car
No. 20 came along about 1880 bound
for Boston Heights, a man was en-.
deavoring with Il broom thrust through
a window in the front of the car, to
sweep a number of bombs from the
rails. According to those who saw
the accident, w aters rushed in front
OF the a with the evident intention
OF wrestling the broom from the
s%weeper's hauds, or preventing him
from using it. The car was going at
a fair rate of speed and Waters was
either struck by the car, or lost his
footing.
The unfortunate young man was
beneath the wheels In an instant. One
of the front wheels of the toward truck
passed completely over him, while
with the stopping of the car, the hind
wheel OF the same truck rested upon
his body. In backing up to release
him, the front wheel again came over
his body and it was some time before
the victim could be released from his
awful position.
The left leg of the victim was so
terribly maugled that it was held only
by IL thread of flesh, while his right
leg was in nearly as bad condition.
Besides he was terribly injured about
the groin and upper parts of the body.
At the hospital his left leg was
amputated a few inches above the
knee, while the right leg was taken off
between the knee and ankle. No hopes
were entertained for his recovery and
he died a few hours later from the
shock.
Charles l.. Waters was born at
Highwood in 1885 and for several
years attended the high school at
Fort Benton. For the past three
years and a half he has been en-
plOyed as a clerk in the Great Falls
postoffice, whera he showed much
efficiency. He was of u cheerful dis.
position and popular with all who
knew him. The father, Charles S.

the Highwoods, but he Is now con.
