Edward Swatek
is Asphyxiated
by Sewer Gas
Brother of W. A. Swatek of This
City Is Overcome at Work in
Omaha Friday.
VERY PROMPT AND SATIS
FACTORY ADJUSTMENT
rronr Saturday's Dally
William A. Swatek of this city
received the message late Friday af
ternoon that his brother, Edward
Swatek, 45, had died as the result
of asphyxiation by sewer gas, with
which he was overcome at his work
as a city employe of Omaha in the
repair of a sewer at Forty-eighth and
Leavenworth streets, the death oc
curring shortly after 4 o'clock Fri
day. The man had been sent into the
sewer about an hour earlier, to lo
cate a manhole whose entrance from
the street had been covered over with
dirt and lost.
Soon he was heard tn tan three
iim.es, the signal agreed upon if he
should find the manhole. The tap3
could not be located from the sur
face, however, and when Swatek did
not return, after about 10 minutes,
John Slepick, Thirty-ninth and Pat
terson avenue, another laborer, was
sent into the earth to hunt for him.
Slepick went north in the sewer
about 250 feet and found Swatek's
lantern. Looking up. he saw the
body, wedged near the top of the
sewer. He could not move it, and
he could not tell whether Swatek
was dead or not.
While 25 men in the sewer crew
attempted by digging from the sur
face to locate the manhole open
ing, firemen from Twenty-seventh
and Jones streets arrived. They low
ered ladders and put down a power
ful light to aid in the search.
The body was soon located and
the entrance to the manhole was
uncovered by workmen who dug to a
fl'-nth of about five feet through the
earth. August Kdakowski and John
Vail of Company 4, fire department,
went into the hole for the body and
it took about 30 minutes for them
to push It to the surface. The gas
made the rescue work difficult and
forced back from the scene the large
crowd that gathered to watch the
rescue work.
Although Swatek was pronounced
dead when brought to the surface,
efforts were made by use of a pul
jnotor to revive him.
The sewer that Swatek was lost
in. is about nine and one-half feet
in diameter.
Swatek is survived by Mrs. Swatek,
4363 So. 42nd street, three sons, Joe,
10; John, 19, and Edward. 20; a sis
ter. Mrs. J. Kranlosta, 5428 South
Twentieth street, a brother, William
Swatek, Plattsmouth. and his moth
er, Mrs. John Swatek South 20th
street.
From Saturday's Dally
Last Sunday about noon the pub
lisher of the Journal, R. A. Bates'
home was visited by a very damaging
fire, as ha3 been previously noted in
this paper. We carried insurance
policies in three of the best com
panies in the land, namely the Insur
ance Company of North America, The
Home Insurance, both of whom are
represented by A. H. Duxbury, and
whose adjuster, Mr. Bridges was the
I first on the ground Monday morning.
The third company was our own
home Neoraska Union Fire Insur
ance company, of Lincoln, repre
sented in this city by Miss Gertrude
Morgan, whose adjuster. Mr. Vere,
was here shortly after dinner Mon
day. Once upon a time long ago it
was said that insurance companies
were hard to deal with after a fire,
j but after a few hours visit with
t these two excellent gentlemen, and
their local representatives, we most
emphatically pronounce this asser
tion erroneous. Neither of these
companies had the slightest desire
! to do anything but what was just
and right, and ever willing to accept
each and every item of loss that we
brought to their attention.
! The loss to the building was much
more easily adjusted than the loss to
contents in the second flor of our
home, and as Mr. Vere, of t he Union
Fire Insurance Co., held all this, as
well as a portion of the building, our
task and pleasant business relations
with him was prolonged, till almost
dusk, but we went through the
debris very carefully, and everything
was adjusted to our entire satisfac
tion. j We simply take this method of
thanking these gentlemen and their
excellent companies for their prompt
attention, their fair adjustment and
settlement of our claim, also their
local representatives.
