The fire and light committee of the
city council, consisting Of Aldermen
Henry Prick, ]. C. Simser and William

DEATH RESULTS
FROM INJURIES
Herman w. Nagel, Who Fell Off
Street Car Sunday Night,
Passes Away.
STILL UNCONSCIOUS AT END
Accident Happened While on Way
Home to Davenport from Tower
Inquest Held Today.

Herman w. Nagel, the young man
who fell off the Watch Tower car Sun
day evening and sustained injuries
which resulted in concussion of the
brain, died last night about midnight
at st. Anthony's hospital without hav-
ing regained consciousness after the
accident. Coroner ]. F. Rose held an
inquest this morning at the Wheelan
undertaking rooms, and the jury which
investigated the death returned a YER
dict to the effect that Nagel came 10
his death from injuries received in
falling from a street car for which no
one was to blame. The father of de-
ceased, whose home is at Bushnell, Ill,
was among those called upon to testify
at the inquest and his story lent weight
to the theory advanced by DR.. J. P.
Comegys to the effect that deceased
had been seized suddenly with a sick
spell which caused him to lose his hold
on the handles on the side of the street
car on which he was riding.
Several Give Testimony.
Charles Lingren, one of the passen-
gers on the car, was the first witness
introduced by the coroner. He stated
that he was near Nagel on the car and
that he had noticed that the latter's
face was pale, as though he might be
sick, but that apparently nothing else
was the matter with him. He said that
when the man finally let go of the han
dies of the car he fell upon his knees
and then pitched forward upon his
ioI,t CT d
brick pavement. This happened as the |
car was going past Fourteenth and-a- |
half street on Seventh avenue. Dr. |
Comegys testified that he was on a |
street car going in the opposite direc- |
ton to that on which Nagel was riding !
He said that he saw the car stop and |
the passengers crowd around the fallen |
man, whereupon he got off his car and |
hurried to the scene. He took charge |
of the injured man and had him taken |
to the hospital. There was no sign of |
about the young man, |
according to the doctor, who examined |
him with a view to determining this |
fact.
Gave Sent to Lady.
Theodore Bleuer stated to the jury |
that he had got on the car at Sears |
with a young lady and that Nagel had |
vacated his seat in order that the lady |
might sit down. This compelled Nagel |
to stand on the running board of the |
car just ahead of Mr.. Bleuer. The lat
ter had no intimation of what was go
ing to happen, when Nagel suddenly |
fell from the car short time later |
Charles Widen, motorman of car No. |
81, and August Celus, conductor, both
gave testimony before the jury. They
admitted that the car was going swift
" at the time the accident occurred,
but said that the speed was nothing
put of the ordinary.
