SW|TCHMAN ROACH
DIES FROM INJURIES
Thomas Roach Run Down By
Shunted Car Last FRIDAY
Nj Mght.

Thomas Roach, the injured switch
man, died this morning at two o'clock,
losing out in his plucky fight for life.
Deceased was born at Earl Park, Ind.
He has been railroading since he be-
gan to work. He was married at Ha-
warden, Iowa, in 1908, and leaves the
grief-stricken wife and four children
Evelyn, aged 10 years; Quinn, Z;
Blaine, 4; and Phyllis, 2. They have
the heartfelt sympathy of all in their
irreparable loss. The deceased is al
so mourned by his father, Daniel
Roach, of Caros, two sisters, and
three brothers. The funeral will oc-
cur Saturday morning from st. Mary's
Catholic church, Rev. Father McDev-
lit officiating. The following account
of the accident was written before t.
young mans death:
Another horrible accident, in which
a sWitchman was manned for life, took
place in the local yards last Friday
night, when Thomas Roach was run
down by a moving freight car, and
his right leg and arm cut off. The ac-
cident happened in the east end of
the yards, about the time train No. 8
was pulling in, at II o'clock. Roach
was a member Of the switching crew
Of which Geo. Coppersmith was fore
man. He was doing what is known
as field work., working ahead of the
engine. Several cars were shot down
track No. and Roach went ahead of
them to open the knuckle, to insure
a coupling. He then crossed over
intending to join the engine and crew
on track 9. But in the meantime the
engine shot a car of wheat down on
track S. Roach did not see this cal
coming, and it ran him down, cutting
off the right leg above the knee, and
the right arm below the elbow. His
left foot was also injured to some ex
tent. He was found by members o1
the crew, who heard his cries fol
help. He was conscious, and the cool
est man of all those present. He or
dered the men to get rope and bind
the leg above the cut, to stop the
bleeding. This they did, using the
bell rope on the engine for the pur
pose. Cushions were then secured
from an empty caboose, and he was
placed on these and taken to the pas
senger station.
From there he was taken to the
Bethesda Hospital, where the stat
physicians were summoned, and the
MANNED limbs Of the unfortunate mar
were amputated.
For time after the operation, hi!
life was despaired Of, but he rallied
nicely. Again yesterday Afternoon
(Tuesday) he suffered relapse, ant
at this writing his recovery is by NJ
means certain.
Mr.. Roach's parents we're notified
at once, and his father, Dan Roach
of Caros, Mimi, came at once to thu
bedside of his son. Mrs. Roach't
father, Henry Roper of Hawarden, Ia
was also called.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roach came to thi
city two years ago last January, from
Hawarden, Iowa, and since that TIM
he had been employed as switchmal
in the local yards.

The city convention last Friday
evening was very harmonious af
fair. Every elective official, both OF
ermen, were renominated.
The convention expressed itself as
being in favor Of having elections bi
ennially instead Of every year. Also
as being in favor Of issuing bonds for
water main extensions. Both of these
projects will require charter amend
ments.
The convention foreshadows a dull
city election next Tuesday, there be-
ing not a single contest to enliven the
proceedings.

lalso very dangerous to the life and lint
OF the incautious. Boys often jump on
the slowly moving trains to go part Of
the way home, or hang to the cars fol-
aioy ride. Particularly is this true in
the village and small towns. All this,
the country over, results in fearful
cost in suffering, gripping and death.
The railroads have prepared statistics
showing the number Of preyentable ac-
cidents in this way, and the figures are
appalling. During the past twenty
years Isl ,S79 trespassers we're killed or
injured on the railroads OF this coun-
try. None of these were train men or
persons who were there by necessity.
Twenty-Five thousand of them were
young people, under Is years Of age
living near the scene OF the accident,
and many OF them were under 10 years
of age.
Fourteen trespassers have been killed
or injured by the railroads every day on
an average for several years past. Think
what an army of children it would take
to make $4,000. And all would have
been saved had they kept off the rail
road tracks. Our carelessness and heed
lessness in this regard are inconceivable.
The railroads of the country spend mil
lions ofsdollars yearly to prevent acci-
dents to save life and limb. Is it not a
public duty to do our small part too?
When we add to these sources Of acci-
dent hundred thousand automobiles
swiftly careerlng along every road in
our State, far and near, together with
motorcycles, traction engines and other
swiftly advancing forms of locomotion,
the wonder is that any of our children
escape long enough to grow up. They
can hope to escape only by profting by
the wisdom and caution that come down
from the past. Somehow, they must
grasp in a few days the caution that has
required a thousand years or more for
for the race to learn-if they would
survive. .
| hope every teacher will take up
these subjects for attention and discus
sion in the schoolroom, in an effort to
lnstil the safety spirit into the minds OF
the children. If we can overcome some
of the dangerous practices it will result
n saving human life.
