Fireman Goddard Killed.
Troy F. Guddard, a locomotive
fireman of this city, was instantly
killed at Coyote Wednesday night
by being struck by the engine pull
ing train No. 3. Goddard went out
of here Wednesday evening as fire
man for Wood White. When the
train reached Coyote it broke in
three pieces, and while the train
men were working on the train
Guddard was sent down the track
to flag passenger train No. 3, then
due.
Engineer Whitlock was pulling
No. 3 and owing- to the fine snow
falling and trickling1 on the cab
window and the escaping steam it
was difficult to see far ahead.
Suddenly Whitlock saw a white
lantern swing across the track giv
ing the signal to stop. He answered
the signal, applied the emergency
brake and saw the form of a man
thrown from the track. When the
train stopped, the trainmen went
back and Goddard was found dead
against a slight embankment, fie
was placed on the train, brought to
this city and taken to Warner'
undertaking rooms. An examina
tion showed that the right side of
his face and head was crushed in,
the skull fractured all the way
round, and his right hip bone
broken and protruding through the
flesh.
Engineer Whitlock says that
when he first saw the signal it was
about two car lengths ahead, and
ihat Goddard was standing in the
middle of the track. Why the latter
remained on the track until the
engine struck him is a mystery, but
the supposition is that he became
confused and lost his head. Goddard
was evidently thrown against the
drawhesd on the engine pilot, and
this concussion probably crushed
his head.
The unfortunate man had been
firing on the road a year or so, and
prior to that worked with the ice
gang. He came here from a small
town near Hastings and had been
married about three mouths.
