FATAL ACCIDENT.
Overcome by Poisonous Vapor,
Boy Succumbs at Bottom of
Gasoline Tank.

One of the most horrible acci=
dents which ever happened in the
history of the city occurred abou
six O'Clock Wednesday evening
when Charles Grover, the II yeal
bold son Of Mrs. G. II. Juveland,
met a terrible death.
1t seems that young Grover
had been employed by G. Brews-
ter, local agent for the Standard
Oil Co., to unload a tank of gaso-
line that stood on the track. He
was working there alone and for
some unknown reason had climb
ed into the man hole at the top
of the tank and had evidently at
tempted to climb down the lad
der and had been overcome by
the poisonous gases, and was un-
able to climb back out and had
fallen to the bottom of the tank.
Failing to come home to supper,
inquiry was made for him
!and as he was last seen at the
tank, Mr.. Brewster made a search
and learned the dreadful truth.
Help was summoned and the body
gotten out and taken to Cahill s
undertaking rooms.
On Thursday a coroner's 5 jury
was impaneled, consisting of N.
III. Miller, Fred Burmester and
Nels Thompson, and a verdict
brought in that death resulted
from the effects Of gasoline and
gasoline. vapor in tank owned by
the Standard Oil Co., and the com
pany We're censured for. employing
a boy Of immature years to do
work Of dangerous character
and also for leaving the tank
open unnecessarily
The funeral services will be
held from the Methodist churcl
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock
and will be conducted by Rev.
Shearer.
Charles r. Grover was born
May %, 1898, at Chesterville, Me-,
lie has lived with his mother,
Mrs. g. II. Juveland, for the past
two years and attended the pub
lie schools. He was bright boy
and will be greatly missed by his
companions.

MERIDIAN ROAD.

The following letter from State
Engineer Lea should make the
Meridian Road boosters feel good
They worked hard but did not
accomplish as much as they had
hoped. This letter shows that the
work was appreciated by the
International Meridian party
which passed through this city
on the 18th inst:
MIR. Howard Babcock,
SlSSeton. $. ID.
Dear Sir:
have just returned to this
office from Oklahoma City near
which point WE ended our trip
after having gone about 1900
miles overland on schedule time.
We found along the entire
route a spirit OF hearty co-opera
tlon and good will toward the
Meridian Road. AT many places
IN the several states along the
line effective work is being done
and the success of the Meridian
IRoad is now assured. We tra=
veled by automobile as far south
as Perry, Oklahoma; at this
point we We're informed that fur
ther progress would be prac-
tlcally impossible on account of
the bad condition of the high
ways. We then went by train
to Guthrie and Oklahoma City
where we conferred with the
respective Boards of Trade of
those places and urged early ac-
ton toward constructing the Me
rldlan Road through Oklahoma.
We We're assured that the road
would be constructed through
that state in accordance with the
required standards in from 60
to 80 days; ! am quite hopeful
that some effective work will be
done
Perhaps it will interest you
to know that the work done in
South Dakota received high
praise from Mr.. Nicholson and
other members of the Interna=
tlonal party. Reference was
made to the splendid work done
south of Sisseton through the
Coteaus and also to the fine
stretch, of road through Coding-
ton County. These pieces Of roac
work were held up as models by
our speakers at the various towns
and cities through Kansas, Ne
braska and Oklahoma where ad
dresses We're made by our party.
| have been requested to pre,par
for publication in Motor of New
:lork full account of the Me
rldian Road trip; this is to be
illustrated with characteristic
views. | expect to prepare the
article Immediately after my re-
turn from the National Irrigation
Congress which meets at Salt
Lake City September 3O.and Octo
Der 4.
Yours very truly,
Samuel Fl Lea,
State Engineer.
