AGED MAN MEETS
A TRAGIC DEATH
JAMES O. SPONSLER DIES AS RE
SULT OF BEING STRUCK BY
MILWAUKEE TRAIN.
•Infirmities of advanced age making
his sight and hearing defective, and
unaware of the approaching train, not
withstanding that an alarm rings at
the crossing to warn persons of ap
proaching danger, James D. Sponsler
attempted to crass the Milwaukee
tracks at Caldwell street last evening
and was fatally injured.
The .accident that caused the death
of the aged man took place at 6:57
last evening, as No. 8, the Milwaukee's
Davenport passenger train, was leav
ing the city. The train was a heavy
one and was being double-headed up
the steep incline by engine No. 470.
As the train approached the road
crossing under gathering headway and
using all the power needed to carry
the train up to the crest of the grade,
Mr. Sponsler attempted to cross the
track. Being 73 years of age and suf
fering the handicap of deafness and
poor sight due to his advanced age,
and using an ear trumpet, he could
not hear the approaching train and
tho engine crew were unable to avoid
striking the aged man.
The extent of his injuries were such
as to make recovery impossibye, he
having sustained a fracture of the
skull, a broken hip and was generally
bruised. He was immediately taken
to his home, 114 Randolph street,
where he lingered until 9:05 p. m.,
when death relieved his sufferings. He
is survived by a daughter, Mrs. J. J.
Clawson, and three sons, M. F., C. H.
ar-d W. S. Sponsler.
The funeral service was held this
afternoon from the S-'livan under
taking chapel at 3 o'clock, conducted
by Rev. Hiram Baker. IaieHaaeat in
