YOUNG ENGINEER
IN FATAL ACCIDENT
Howard Staples Receives Fatal
InjuriesWhen Switch Engines
Crash in Local Yards.
The second fatal accident to happen
in the short space of ten days occur
red last Saturday morning in the
Great Northern yards of this city.
This time it was a loving husband and
kind father, who suffered injuries,
causing his death about two hours af
ter the accident. It was with the deep
est feeling of regret that the people
of this city learned of the death of
Howard Staples, last Saturday morn
ing. He was injured in a collision be
tween two switch engines at five thir
ty a. m, and the end came at seven
forty-five.
Staples was running engine 25, do
ing work in the west end of the yards,
and had been down after coal and
water Engine 545, known as the
"tramp", because it does work in all
sections of the yard, was switching
on the house track, near the transfer
platform. No. 25 was facing east and
545 was headed west
Staple's engine had come down the
mam line from the coal shute and
was running very slowly, going over
the cross over onto the west end lead
In the meantime No 545 was switch
ing back and forth, the engine crew,
consisting of engineer McEackron and
fireman Bob Conway, having no idea
that there was another engine in the
vicinity.
Before engine 25 had passed "into
clear" the other engine backed into
her, the rear of the tank on 545 strik
ing the rear of the cab on the other
engine Staples was caught between
the cab and the boiler and crushed
frightfully. His right leg and left arm
were badly scalded and his body was
a mass of cuts and bruises His fire
man, Joe Ryan, a Litchfield boy, was
also hurt, his back and shoulder be
ing badly bruised
With a grinding, gnashing roar, en
gine 545 swept the right side of the
other engine clean, taking the cab,
whistle, bell, steam chest, sand dome,
pump and running board off the boiler
The boiler was also punctured and the
steam and hot water escaped with a
roar that was heard for blocks away
The unfortunate engineer was ex
tricated from the wreckage as soon
as possible and taken at once to the
Willmar hospital, where he was given
the best of medical care, but he was
unable to rally from the shock, and,
altho conscious all the time, the end
came at seven forty-five, two hours
and fifteen minutes after the accident
happened.
Steam and hot water poured from
the boiler of 25 thru the runway on
No 545, and McEackron and Conway
were blinded for a moment They
jumped from the fireman's side of the
cab, however, thus miraculously es
caping a bad scalding Engine 545
was battered to some extent, but was
able to run under her own steam after
the trucks under the tank, were back
on the track
The wreckage was cleared away in
a hurry, altho No 22 was delayed
about forty minutes

state Here he lived during his boy
hood days, until he was seventeen

An attack of heart failure, while
fishing in Lake Andrew, caused the
death of A. C. Tenger, of this city, last
Thursday evening about 6 o'clock.
Together with Wm. Gabbert of the
Willmar Hardware Co., Mr. Tenger
was putting in a furnace at the Alvig
home. Quitting work at five o'clock,
the men decided to fish for a couple
of hours before returning to their
homes. Accordingly a boat was se
cured and the men were enjoying
some good sport. At about six o'clock,
Mr. Tenger was stricken, and death
was instantaneous.
A. C. Tenger was born on August
28, 1850, at Lund, Sweden. He came
to this country at an early age, plying
his trade of tinsmith and gunsmith.
He settled in Alexandria, this state,
where he was married on June 24,
1884, to Miss Amelia Sorens.
Later the family moved to Litchfield
where they resided for fifteen years.
For a number of years the deceased
was chief of the fire department there.
Following this they lived for wree
years at Cokato, and for the past year
have made their home in this city.
Mr. Tenger was connected with the
Willmar Hardware Co., as tinsmith.
He is survived by his wife, one son,
Irving, of Boston, Mass., and one
daughter, Helen, who attends Winona
Normal school.
Funeral services were held at the
residence on 9th street Monday after
noon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev.
Todd.
The body was shipped to Litchfield,
where services were held Tuesday
morning at ten o'clock. Rev. Erick
son of Litchfield and Rev. Todd of this
city officiated. Interment was made
in the Litchfield cemetery.
