HEART FAILURE CLAIMS MAN
WHILE Swimming IN RIVER
Trodick Finds No Water on Lungs; Nordstrom
Expressed Fear Some Months Ago of
Meeting such a Death.

Hugh Nordstrom, aged SO, single. a
farm hand employed on the Crabtree
ranch, II miles south of Great Falls
on the Ayrshire dairy road, died of
heart failure Sunday morning about II
o'clock while swimming with several
men in the Missouri river. His body
was found an hour later. about 200
yards below the place where he went
down, by Sheriff Bob Gordon. Deputy
Sheriff Curt Dennis and Fire Chief 4.
J. Trodick, who dragged the river with
hooks.
That death was caused by heart fail
ure is s~ubstantiated by the fact that no
water was drained from his lungs by
Chief Trodick. Because of this. it was
necessary to use the lung motor. Hood
strum made the statement several
months ago to his brother-in-law, Vic
tor Vice. that he should not be sur
prised if he dropped dead any tim
from heart trouble"
There were several people in swim
ming at the time Nordstrom went
down. but none saw him disappear.
There was one man on shore who saw
him. but he said that he was mot only
unable to swim. but that he was afraid
of water" and was. therefore. helpless

had worked in the coal mines there
prior to March !. When the word WAS
passed around, all were virtually terror
stricken and zone knew what TO 10.
Chief T'rodick was informed Of the
tragedy by telephone from the Ayrshire
dairy. about seven miles from the
scene. and he scored a record in max
ing the II miles in IL minutes. When
he arrived, there was no boat available
and he had to send a rancher, Rogers,
n half mile after a rowbOat.
County Coroner DIR. Lee Roy Nc
Burney was not informed of the acct
dent until early Sunday evening and
could not say then whether it would be
necessary to hold an inquest. The body
was brought to the w. H. George un-
dertaking parlors and no funeral ar
rangements have been made, although
it is thought burial will be Wednesday.
OF those who were present when
Nordstrom died were his brother-in-
law. Victor Vice; his sister-in-law

UNION MENSAY
ENGINES in BAD
CONDITION NOW
Mass Meeting Told Statements
by Road Executives
Are Not True.

Charges that the equipment and
locomotives of the railways are in dis
repair, that newspapers have NOT treat
ed the strikers fairly and that railway
executives are giving out false state
ments of the wellbeing Of the roads
were made at a mass meeting of the 10
railway unions Sunday afternoon at

Mike Holland, chairman of the teJer-
ated strike committee, and speakers
We're Hugh Jones of the brotherhood
of Firemen and Enginemen. Harry
Ludlow. local chairman Of the machin-
lists; Pete Lamere of the trainmen and
F. Brock of the trainmen. Some
200 persons attended the meeting.
Holland. in opening the meeting. said
that IF the Great Falls business men,
who went to Helena to demand that the
militia be brought in, mean just what
they say. let them go back and ask that
a federal inspector come up here. and
then the Great Northern would be tied
up"
Threatens Engine Tleup
THE men here are going to say that
they won't take out trains until they
are pronounced %. X" he said.
Jones was the only one Of the en-
ginemen's representatives to speak. He
said the sympathy of these union men
was with the strikers. but said that
they would continue TO work. in accord
with their contract. and any action
was not for the local men to take, but
for the national officers. He then re-
counted the position of the firemen re-
specting care of their locomotives, their
refusal to do certain work. such as in
connection with dirty fires" and other
questions. He said that a special as
sessment had been levied to aid the
strikers.
THE trainmen have lots Of money.
but it's in the American bank said
Lamere. But you're welcome to il.
are planning to take up a collection
among the boys for the hep of the
strikers next pay day"
He said the policy of the rrainmen in
the strike would be the same as that Of
the firemen.
Wants Publicity Committee
The suggestion that the rs organiza-
tons name a member from each of
unions to form a committee for
giving out of information TO the public
was made by Brock of the trainmen.
He questioned the statement of rail
way officials that sufficient cars would
be available for handling the grain. The
strike-breakers. he said, are boys
from farms and colleges"
Ludlow. in his talk, spoke of the adj
vantages Of having the members Of the
many railway unions meet together 10
consider their problems. He spoke of
the strikers as having made "A wonder
full showing"
At the c-ose of the meeting, Holland
again spoke ard told of plans for
working in conjunction with the other
organizations"
Something is going to happen he
said. Something too good to tell you
all about. You'll see the results later"
At the close of his speech. he spoke
in ridicule of the work of the strike
breakers in the shops, charging that
they were unable to do the work eff
He said that he respected the
real strike breakers more than the
weak kneed, would-be card men"
