Frank Svoboda, of Forada, died as
the result of being struck by the
south bound way freight of the 500
Line yesterday afternoon about
o'clock. The accident occurred be-
yond Forada, just a few rods north OF
the Pope-Douglas county line. 1t is
thought that Svoboda, knowing that
the train was approaching, jumped in
front of it in an effort to kick out
of the way or pick up bar that mad
been left on the track. He was, doubt
less, of the opinion as were others OF
the section crew, that the bar might
cause derailment of the train and a
wreck Svoboda was struck, however,
and his skull fractured and a leg
broken. He never recovered con-
seriousness, although life did not be-
come extinct until he had been car
ried distance on trailer back OF
the hand car on trip to this city.
Surviving the deceased are wife and
several small children. He lived on a
farm south of Forada.-Alexandria

ers at 104 Fifth street last Friday
morning fatally injured Thomas ].
Kavanagh, who passed away about an
hour after the accident. The eXplO-
sion occurred at 10:45 o'clock. Thomas
Kavanagh had just returned from
visit at the bank, and had seated him
self at his. desk when the machine
blew up. The other brother, Michael,
who is interested in the business, was
operating the machine but escaped un-
hurt. There was some trouble with
| the steam gauge, as it registered only
forty pounds of pressure at the time
of the accident. The force of the ex-
plosion hurled one piece of the ma
chine which struck Thomas in the
side mangling him fearfully. The
| brother Michael and Victor .Klingen-
| berg and Russell Curran, who were
| first on the scene, rushed the dying
| man in an auto to the Willmar hos
pital. He lived until IL o'clock.-Will-
