DEATH OF ALBERT BURBRIDGE.

Last week mention of the tragic
death OF Albert Burbridge, former
resident of Oroville, was published in
the Gazette. We have just received
copy of the Scottsbluff Star-Herald,
from which is taken the following ac-
count of the accident
Albert Burbridge, aged 20 years, me,
instant death on Sunday morning, Oct.
10th, at about 4:30 o'clock as the re-
suit of an accident which occurred at
the Scottsbluff factory of the Great
Western Sugar company. The young
man who had been working at the
creamery, had been employed at the
factory but three days when the acct
dent occurred, causing the second
death in the Burbridge family to occur
within few weeks, younger brother
having passed away only short time
|ago.
There were no direct witnesses OF
the accident, as nearly as could be
learned, although the young mans fell
low workmen in the same department
saw him fall and the very probable
cause of the regretable occurrence was
surmised. The young man was in
charge of one of the several centrifu-
gal machines in which the sugar 10
dried and these machines revolve at
a great speed. 1t was evident that he
had completed one charge" of the ma
chine, but very possibly had not
thrown the lever which controls the
n n urb iTh
enough over to engage the safety
Iclutch. In consequence, when he leaned
over to close the gate which controls
! the entrance of the syrup for a new
charge, he must have in some manner
struck the plow lever, which immedi-
ately engaged the clutch the machine
starting and catching his head be-
tween the heavy pieces of machinery,
large bolts contained therein crushing
his skull and causing instant death
Fellow employees saw the young man
fall as the machinery released him,
and rushed to his side, but he was
dead when they reached him
The young man was a lad of excell-
ent character, clean in his living and
possessed of ambition. He came with
his mother, Mrs. Alice Christman and
four sisters and brother to this city
last July from Oroville, Washington
and shortly after their arrival here
their little brother, Merle, aged 10
years, being taken with typhoid fever
from which he later died. The deceased
leaves to mourn his loss besides his
mother, four sisters. Misses Virginia,
Maudie and Lucille Burbridge, of this
city, and Mrs. John Crump, of Bayard
