services were required on four occa-
sions, that Official being first called on
Saturday, the 4th,' CORY day. The
hrst summons came early in the morn
ing following the killing Of Carl NJ.
Gordon at the intersection of Seventh
street and Fourth avenue by a street
car. In the afternoon Of the same
day the railway crossing at Fourth
street and railroad avenue was made
the scene OF a tragedy, when Mrs.
Josephine Osterman was hurled to
her death after being struck by an
eastbound Rock Island flyer. No less
horrible was the fate of Charles e
Johnston, a worker in the plant of the
D. NJ. Sechler Carriage company, who
was crushed between a heavy truck
and a post while at his post in the
factory. He lived but few hours aft
er the accident dying in great agony
at the city hospital. Lacking horror,
but unusual in circumstances, the de-
mise OF Carl Oscar Carlson on March
10 called for post-mortem examina-
ton and an inquest. The young man
was found dead in bed and his death
was asscribed to natural causes. The
railroad claimed another victim,
Thursday, the 23rd, when Charles r.
Maves, a blacksmith, was ground to
death under the wheels of Rock Is

walking the ties near Twenty-seventh
