ING THRESH1NG OUTFIT TAKES
WELL KNOWN CITIZEN.
Frank Eddy died at midnight
Tuesday. The report of the passing
of the well known resident of James
town and Stutsman county came as
blow to his relatives and many
friends in this part of the state and
the loss seems harder to bear because
Of it's suddenness. Death was the
result of the accident that happened
last Friday, while Mr.. Eddy with his
crew Of threshers were moving the
threshing outfit near the Ira Fan
dray farm, east of Jamestown. The
tongue of the cook car swinging
sharply struck him in the stomach,
causing severe internal wounds in
which gangrene developed and re-
suited in death just four days later.
The untimely death of Frank Eddy.
is regretted by hundreds of friends.
The accident that caused the death
of Frank Eddy occurred Friday
morning. While the threshing crew
were moving the outfit the ropes pull
ling the cook car snapped from the
traction engine, and the crew then
attempted to push the car, with Mr..
Eddy steering and holding the tongue.
As the car moved forward one of the
small front wheels dropped sudden
ly into a. hole swinging the tongue
sharply tosone side, and the full force
of the vicious blow struck Mr.. Eddy
in the abdomen.
He fell unconscious but recovered
quickly and was brought to the City
hospital. At first the injury was
not considered fatal, but old wounds
resulting from former attack of ap-
pendicitis and previous ruptures ag-
gravated the injury. Gangrene set
in and although an operation was
performed to relieve the patient, his
life could not be saved. He suffered
but little pain, and bravely fought of
the end until the last, quietly sink
ing into. aSdeep sleep until the breath
ing stopped. His brother, P. W..
