YOUNG man FATALLY .
INJURED AT LANDING
e. n. sENEKER, CLERK ON THE
STEAMER WESTERN HIT BY
HEAVY TIMBER. T.
Was Watching Loading Operations at
Time Of Accident - Remains Will
be Sent to Bristol, Tenn. T.

ID. H. Seneker, young man ~
years of age, was fatally injured at
Maddan's Landing about two miles
below the mouth of the Cannonball
Monday afternoon at 1880.
: It seems that the young man was
watching the crew of the steamer
Western, on which he was clerk, un-
loading some large tinbers. The
timbers were being skidded over an
improvised wharf, the motive power
being supplied by team of horses,
At the time of the accident he was
watching another crew of men pump
ing out a large barge that had be-
come filled with water, and did not
take notice when one of the large
piles broke away from the ropes that
were being used in pulling it and the
timber struck him and rolled com
pletely over his body. Mr.. Seneker
got to his feet after the accident and
remained standing long enough 20
say that he was not hurt, when he
fell to the ground. It was soon dis
covered that he was seriously injured
and after a search for physician he
was taken to the boat and brought to
this city, Capt. Bayse running the
boat all night in an effort to reach
the city where the young man nigh
have hospital accommodations in time
to save his life. The effort was in
vain, however, as the young man
passed away at about l o'clock Tues
day morning a. st. Alexius hospital.
There was never a chance for his re-
covery, although he was conscious
up to the end.
Mr.. Seneker came out from his
home at Bristol, Tenn, with Captain
Bayse, being an old time friend of
the family.
The captain informed a Tribune re-
porter that the young man is well
connected in his home Town and was
a man of exceptionally fine character.
The accident and resultant death
was a great shock to the captain. A
message from the young mans father
authorized the captain to attend to
al! funeral arrangements and to have
the body shipped to the home. The
remains left here on No. Wednesday
evening.

OF new ENGLAND CITY

Hettinger County Herald: The
work of plating the township site
is progressing nicely and Engineer
Wallace will have the work completed
in a few weeks. Mr.. Wallace has
plated a great many towns for the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul and
says that New England, overlooking
the Cannonball, is about the :oreteies:.
town he ever laid out. III $fK,
In running the street lines Mr.. Wal
lace noticed burrows running parallel
to his lines and after seeing That the
burrows were regular he felt conf
dent that the town must have been
laid out years ago. His surmises we're
correct. G. G. Mead has the original
plat of New England City as surveyed
by Capt. j. G Saunders of Dickinson
dor the New England Land colony
in the summer of 1887. The old plat
is somewhat worn and battered but
lis considered an excellent piece Of
work. ~
At thetpresent time Mr.. Wallace is
plating seventeen full and Two frac-.
tional blocks. Two streets are to be
100 feet wide, one eighty feet and the
others sixty-six feet. There win be
a slight Jog where the. newly laid
out streets Join the present streets,
the : old portion mot being i exactly
north and south. N'''.
The old plat is certainly q fine relic
Of when New England was settled by
an Organization Of men mostly from
Vermont and Massachusetts. The
colonists erected buildings and looked
tor railroad construction about TWEEN
ty-two years too early. The few set
tiers who engaged in stock raising
were generally successful. The great
er number, however, became discour-
aged. and after struggling along for
q few years returned to their eastern
homes. sss h L Il. s5l sa
