NEKOMA YOUNG MEN
MEETS TRAGIC DEATH
Neck Broken by fall from Hay Loft on farm
Near Nekoma Last Wednesday

On Thursday evening of last week
Elmer Berg died over at Nekoma. his
death following as the result of an
accident which he had been the VIC
tim of the afternoon of the previous
day. Doctor Stromberg Of this city,
was sent for in his official capacity as
county coroner, but after having made
thorough investigation found that
there was no occasion for the holding
of an inquest inquiring into the cause
of Berg's death. The story of the
accident as related to US by party
from Nekoma would show that the
deceased, together with man by the
name of Hans Bergstrom, had been
engaged in reconstructing the track
of hay carrier in the large new barn
on the farm of ]. G. Stewart. The
work had been finished and in remov-
ing the plank of the scaffolding, in
stead of the end he was handling
falling as he had expected, it flew
upwards, caught him under the chin,
and threw him backwards down to the
floor of the hay loft, a distance Of
eighteen feet below where he had
been working. When picked up it was
found that his neck had been broken
by the fall and although doctor was
sent for Immediately it was at once
seen that nothing could be done to
save his life. Berg passed away in
less than twenty-four hours of the sad
happening. In Nekoma, where he
had lived for years, the deceased was
recognized as a young man in high
standing among the people of the
community and is mourned by two
brothers and a sister, Mrs John Oss.
who is a resident at Nekoma.
