Thomas Roach, the injured switch man, died this morning at two o'clock, losing out in his plucky fight for life. Deceased was born at Earl Park, Ind. He has been railroading since he be gan to work. He was married at Ha warden, Iowa, in 1903, and leaves the grief-stricken wife and four children— Evelyn, aged 10 years Quinn, 7 Blaine, 4 and Phyllis, 2. They have the heartfelt sympathy of all in their irreparable loss. The deceased is al so mourned by his father, Daniel Roach, of Caros, two sisters, and three brothers. The funeral will oc cur Saturday morning from St. Mary's Catholic church, Rev. Father McDev itt officiating. The following account of the accident was written before young man's death: Another horrible accident, in which a switchman was maimed for life, took place in the local yards last Friday night, when Thomas Roach was run down by a moving freight car, and his right leg and arm cut off. The ac cident happened in the east end of the yards, about the time train No. 9 was pulling in, at 11 o'clock. Roach was a member of the switching crew of which Geo. Coppersmith was fore man. He was doing what is known as "field work", working ahead of the engine. Several cars were shot down track No. 4 and Roach went ahead of them to open the knuckle, to insure a coupling. He then crossed over, intending to join the engine and crew on track 9. But in the meantime the engine shot a car of wheat down on track 5. Roach did not see this car coming, and it ran him down, cutting off the right leg above the knee, and the right arm below the elbow. His left foot was also injured to some ex tent. He was found by members of the crew, who heard his cries for help. He was conscious, and the cool est man of all those present. He or dered the men to get a rope and bind the leg above the cut, to stop the bleeding. This they did, using the bell rope on the engine for the pur pose. Cushions were then secured from an empty caboose, and he was, placed on these and taken to the pas senger station. From there he was taken to the Bethesda Hospital, where the staff physicians were summoned, and the maimed limbs of the unfortunate man were amputated. For a time after the operation, his life was despaired of, but he rallied nicely. Again yesterday afternoon (Tuesday) he suffered a relapse, and at this writing his recovery is by no means certain. Mr. Roach's parents were notified at once, and his father, Dan Roach, of Caros, Minn., came at once to the bedside of his son. Mrs. Roach's father, Henry Roper of Hawarden, la., was also called. Mr. and Mrs. Roach came to this city two years ago last January, from Hawarden, Iowa, and since that time he had been employed as switchman in the local yards. —Mrs. Charles Sullivan and son left last Thursday afternoon for MayD arc! to visit for some time before leaving for their new home in Montana. —Archie Carlson left last evening •or a few days' visit with his brothers at Benson. —A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Pat J.
