KILLED BY FALL
OF TWENTY FEET
JOHN LAkAToS, OF WOLVERINE
FALLS FROM ALBION TRES
TIE AT EARLY HOUR
THIs'MoRNiNG.

John Lakatos, of Wolverine, a single
man aged 20. was instantly killed
about 1880 this morning by falling
from practically the highest point of
the Albion trestle of the Houghton
County Traction company. He fell
about twenty feet.
Lakatos was seen by two young
men walking over the trestle. and go
ing in the direction of Wolverine. Just
what caused him to take the trestle
rather than the road is ineXplicable
unless the theory advanced by Marshal
Trudell of Red Jacket explains It. He
says the heavy timber under the tres
tie provide excellent hiding places for
hold-up men, and is inclined to the
opinion that Lakatos. fearing a hold
IL is supposed that while descending
on the Wolverine side he must have
stumbled and. losing his balance
pitched head foremost To his death.
The two young men, who saw La
katos, We're driving I'm a buggy. and
had passed him when they heard q
noise as of some heavy object striking
the roadway. on going back to ascer-
tain they found Lakatos lying in the
roadway, dead, with his neck broken.
The only means of Identification, was
brass check with the name of the
Allouez mine on it, showing that the
decedent was i'm the employ of that
mining company.
Marshal Trudell was notified and he
In turn notified Coroner Fisher. who
impancled a jury early this morning.
and proceeded To the scene
The inquest will be held tomorrow
evening i'm Coroner Fishers office.

sengers from this section on the train,
the most serious injuries sustained
were those resulting from the nervous

The most serious injuries were re-

who jumped from their cab after do

impending disaster and by two passen-
gers from Marinette, Wis, who SUI

The wreck was caused by the un-

TWO MINOR AUTOMOBILE
ACCIDENTS LAST EVENING
MACHINES DRIVEN BY MRS. 6ER-
NARD AND JOHN vERTlN.
One Runs Into Man and Other Into
Rig. Victims Not Badly Hurt.

Two automobile accidents happened
in this vicinity last evening. neither of
which resulted in injuries of serious
nature. due To the carveful driving of
those in charge OF the machines.
The first accisent occurred at the
corner of Pine and Fifth streets about
o'clock. when Mrs. Joe Bernard ran
into man named Charles Halstrom,
of Laurium, who was carried several
feet while hanging TO the radiator of
the machine. lie suffered little injury.
Mrs. Bernard had perfect control of
the machine at the time, and as soon
as she saw a collision was unavoida,
bic. she applied the brakes and shut
on the power. II appears that Hal
strom had left the corner of the side
walk To board street ear when he
saw the automobile approaching. lie
apparently became confused. not get
ting out of the way. but just as the
machine struck him, he grabbed hold
of the radiator. The car was speedily
stopped.
The other accident happened about
2 o'clock on Pine street, near Water
works. when John Vertin, of Vertin
Bros, while driving his family back
from Eagle River collided with a
horse and rig, In which were four oc-
cupants. two young men and two
Dung women. Their names cannot be
ascertained. The young women We're
thrown To the load. They were picked
up and taken TO the c. & II. hospital,
where il was ascertained they were
suffering from slight shock and
bruises. Later they were able to leave
tor their homes.
Mr.. Vertin was coming up Pine
street at a slow speed, with his lights
burning, and keeping "a strict lookout
for vehicles and pedestrians. He stated
that the horse and buggy were on the
wrong side of the road and as soon as
he saw a collision was inevitable, did
impact. After striking the rig he
stopped his machine and placed the
young women i'm his automobile. and
tried to turn his machine around to
take them to the hospital He found
he could not steer his machine, which
was damaged, and remained with the
party until another automobile hap
pened along. when he made arrange
ments to have the girls taken to the
hospital There is an impression
abroad that Mr. Vertin's machine,
after striking the rig, raced away,
leaving the occupants to their fate.
This is incorrect. as Mr.. Vertin did
everythingsin his power for the young
men and women.
