Cherokee Democrat - John W. Stubbe was run over by
switch engine No. 1516 in the south end of the Central yards at
this place Saturday night, about 11:300, and sustained injuries
which resulted in his death at 2:30 Sunday afternoon. Stubbe came
here with his family from Sioux City, July 29th, coming overland.
They were in destitute circumstances, but both father and son, a
boy of twenty-one, seemed to have enough to buy liquor. The
father had been drinking considerably since his arrival and was
carrying a pretty good load when the accident occurred.

Rural Route No. 1
Chas. A. Mills, a special inspector of rural routes, was in
Sutherland yesterday. [Transcriber's note: A description of a
proposed postal route follows.]

Conaway, Lew Severside, Ira Squier, A. W. H. Stone and C. A.
Smith.
Killed by a Freight
The dispatch below from Emmettsburg refers to Horace Wiggins (not
Henry) who formerly lived a few miles northeast of Sutherland,
and who was well known to most of the people here. He moved away
from here about eight years ago.
Henry Wiggins, a farmer residing near Crippen, a small station on
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, about four miles
west of here, while walking across the track near that place was
struck and instantly killed by a freight train from the west
about 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The unfortunate man was about
55 years of age and very deaf. He was apparently crossing the
track from one field to another when struck by the train. When
picked up by the train men it was found that his neck had been
broken, right leg broken and right side of head badly crushed.
There being no witnesses or neighbors in sight at the time of the
accident, the train men brought the body to Emmettsburg, where it
was placed in charge of the local authorities until the family
and friends of the deceased could be notified of their sudden
loss.

Father McCauley's Death
Rolfe Reveille -Rev. P. H. McCauley, pastor of St.
Margaret's Catholic church of Rolfe, died Wednesday morning at
the parsonage about 9:30 o'clock very suddenly of heart failure.
Father McCauley said to Father Logue that he would lie down a
little while, as he was not feeling well. Some time after this he
was discovered on the bed upstairs lifeless. Dr. Beam was
immediately called out, but life was extinct and nothing could be
done. Funeral services were held Thursday forenoon. The remains
were taken on the noon train to Scranton, Pennsylvania, the home
of the deceased, accompanied by Father Logue. In and near
Scranton he has several brothers and sisters; one of the brothers
being superintendent of the Lackawanna Steel company.
