BRAKEMAN LOST LIFE
Edward Mcdonald, Employe Of Chicago
And Northwestern Road, Drowned
While Hunting
From TUESDAYS Daily.

From TUESDAYS Daily. -. I'll.
Edward Mcdonald who for a
number of years has been brakeman
for the Northwestern. road between
Mankato and Winona, was drowned
yesterday in a lake about ninety
miles north of Minneapolis. Mr.,
Mcdonald had been visiting with his
wife's parents in this vicinity and
was hunting in the lake when the
boat capsized, and he was dead be-
fore help could arrive. He was
married in Mapkato about two years
ago and had a large circle of friends
here.
The following occurred in a lake
near Zimmerman, MINI. The body
has been recovered and will be
brought to Winona for interment.
Details of the accident are lacking
here, relatives having received only
a meagre message. The telegraphic
information merely stated that the
young man had lost his life and that
the body would be shipped to his
home here today.
Mr. Mcdonald, running between
Winona and Tracy, Mimi, as pas
senger brakeman, left Winona last
Saturday for Zimmerman and Prince
ton, Mimi, where he planned to visit
relatives and enjoy an outing at
fishing and hunting. The message
last night brought the first news
since he left and incidentally told
of the first tragic death affecting Wi
mona persons since the opening of
the hunting season. :
1t is presumed that he either walk
ed into hidden body of water or
fell from a boat in one of the lakes
there.
Mcdonald was popular as brake
man and was widely known in Vino
ma. He had been employed by the
Northwestern for six or seven years.
He is the son of Edw Mcdonald, 465
Sioux street, and attended the
schools in Winona He was married
and resided with his wife and small
child at 400 Sioux street
Mrs. Mcdonald was formerly Miss
Ada Newman. She was for some
time clerk in the Fred w. Kruse
store.

The hounds had absolutely no
chance to work on the burglary case
at Springfield yesterday, for as soon
as it was known that store in the
city had been robbed, this self same
store was packed to the doors with
curious onlookers. The people had
handled everything that the thief
was known to have picked up or
worked on, and the path he had
taken in and out of the building was
thoroughly obliterated. The burglar
appears to have entered the build
ing by the rear basement door,
which was unlocked. He then climbed
the stairs and cut neat hole
through the panel of the inside base
ment door. BY reaching through
the hole he had made, he
could slip back the bolt and unlock
the door with the key which was
in the lock on the inside.
Pried Open Cash Register.
Evidently the man did not under
stand the mysteries of an improved
dash register, for instead of pressing
the three keys necessary to open it,
he had pried it open with what ap-
pears to have been a screw driver.
He took IS in change, and left two
checks in the, drawer. No goods
from the store were missed.

Albert Theodore Medic. a fireman
on freight train No. .21, on the oma-
ina railroad was killed, almost in
stantly at about six o'clock last
evening when he was. thrown from
the train near lie sueur. Mr.. Meide
was standing en- the ,gangway be-
tween the engine and the tender as
the train approached bridge over
the 1esheur, creek, about a mile
north of lie Suedr. AS the engine
passed onto the bridge the engineer
heard something, strike and stopped
his train instantly, to find Mr.. Meide
on the ground below the bridge.
The injured man was put on the
train and hastened to LIE Sueur,
where DR.. D. W. McDougald was
called to examine his injuries.
1t was found that he had suffered
three fractures Of his skull and was
in a precarious condition. The en-
CINE and cabocse of the freight train
were given the. right of way on
the track and an attempt was made
to bring the Injured man to one of
the Mankato hospitals. Life became
extinct, however. about the time the
train passed through Ottawa. DIR. J.
w. Andrews, the local physician for
the Omaha, was called and made an
examination It was found that the
man had died as a result of the
fractures of his skull.
Death Was Accidental
Coroner Otto F. Mars of LIE Sueur
county was notified of the death of
Mr.. Meide and came to Mankato. He
pronounced the death to be acct
dental, probably the result of being
struck on the frame work above the
bridge. The theory which the train
men advance as to the cause of his
falling is that the engine had a hot
box and Mr.. Meide was leaning out
looking at the wheels, and did not
realize that the train was approach
ing the bridge.
Mr.. Meide was resident of st.
Paul and was twenty-four years old.
He is survived by his wife and a
child seven months old, his parents
and three brothers. Gustave, Harry
and Edward Meide.s Two of his
brothers came to Mankato to make
arrangements for the shipment of
his body of st. Paul today. The fu-
neral viii be held from his fathers
residence, 939 Armstrong street, st.
Paul on Thursday ~
Mr.. Meide had been a fireman on
the Omaha, running between st. Paul
and st. James, for three years. He
was a member of the German Luth-
eran churcr. the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotivet Firemen and Enginemen,
