When You and I Were Young — Charles McManus Fatally Injured In Fall From Railroad in Chicago 50 Years Ago December 21, 1899 Charles McManus fell from an elevated railroad in Chicago last Saturday afternoon about 1:30 and received injuries which resulted in his death at 6:40 p. m. the same day. He was work ing with a party of men on the railroad and had just placed a rail in position when he fell for ward through the ties and struck the pavement 25 feet be low on his head and shoulders, sustaining a fractured skull and arm, besides internal injuries. He was taken at once to the hos pital and everything was done to save his life, but the injuries were fatal and he passed away about five hours after the acci dent. His brother, James, was with him when he died. Charles was born in Benton, Wise., and was 31-years-old on August 14. In March, 1890, the family m o v e-d to O’Neill, Charles coming with them and he lived in this city and in Spencer until the Spring of 1893 when he went to Chicago, where he lived until the time of his death. His sad death is mourned not only by his relatives, but by all w’ho knew him. His aged moth er, brothers and sisters have the sympathy of the commun ity. P. J. McManus left for Chi cago Sunday morning and re turned with the remains Tues day night, the funeral being held Wednesday morning. In terment was made in the Cath olic cemetery. 25 Years Ago December 18, 1924 At Emmet the cold weather of the last few days has caused a good many of the townspeople to don their full Winter regalia as well as purchase a goodly supply of coal. What we would consider a very fortunate acci dent happened on Tuesday of last week when Section Fore man J. H. Colman, J. J. Short hill, and W. A. Cosgrove, de pot agent, were returning from O’Neill on a gas car where they had been to see the Dempsey Firpo fight shown at the Royal theater. They saw the light of an approaching train as they were nearing home and thought it to be a through freight and knew that if it was they would have plenty of time to make the tool house ahead of it. Upon nearing town they saw that the train was fast over-taking them and decided to stop and take the car off the track. When they applied the brakes and tried to stop the rails were so icy that they had a difficult time get ting the car stopped. They jumped off and in their haste to get the car off did not notice that the train was upon them. Shor thill and Cosgrove were fortunate enough to jump clear of the track but Coleman and Harris, who were at the front end of the car, could not get out of the way and were thrown with the car a little over three rail lengths and landed in the ditch. The train, which proved to be a flier making better than 40 miles an hour, stopped. The boys were picked up by the train crew and taken to the de pot while Harris was taken to Atkinson to the hospital and later taken to Norfolk Aside from a few severe bruises he was unhurt and is able to get around with crutches. Mr. Cole man has gone to his home at In man and we understand he is coming along as well as could be expected after such a shak inging up. He is also on crutches. The boys are congrat ulating themselves. 10 Years Ago December 21, 1939 Citizens of this city were shocked shortly after noon yes terday when word was receiv ed from Omaha that Clyde King had passed away in St. Joseph’s hospital about 12 o’clock. The funeral will be held from home on East Douglas street tomor row afternoon, December 22, at 2 o’clock. The funeral will be in charge of the Masonic lodge of this city of which he was a member. In January of 1891, in company with the writer, we leased the Item, which had been moved from Ewing to O’ Neill by Clarence Selah.

This paper was con ducted for one year when Doc tor Mathews purchased The Frontier and the Item and Clyde and Doctor Mathews and the writer formed The Frontier Printing company. Mathews re tired in a couple of years and Ciyde and the writer operated the paper until the Fall of 1896 when Clyde retired. In the Fall of 1911 he purchased the Galena Lumber company which he op erated successfully since. Dur ing his residence here he took an active interest in the busi ness and social life of the city and served as a member of the city council from the First Ward for several years and served one term as mayor of the city. He refused to be a candidate for reelection. Clyde appeared to be in the best of health, but the last three months he seemed to be losing weight and on Decem ber 4 he went to Omaha for a checkup. They found, on ex amination, that he was suffer ing from a malignant ailment, with little hope of recovery. While his condition was seri ous it was not thought that he would pass away as quickly as he did. He took a turn for the worse Wednesday morning and his folks here were called and the Arthur Kings also left that morning, but Mr. King had passed away when they reach ed Omaha. In the death of the former editor of The Frontier, as well as a former business partner, we feel that we have suffered a distinct loss and that the people of this county have lost one of their most prominent and substantial citizens. He is survived by a daughter—Mrs. George Stannard, of San Diego, Calif., son—Arthur King, of O’ Neill; brother—Rafe King, of Port Angeles, Wash.; and one sister—Mrs. Nettie Shores, of Forks, Wash. Mrs. King died in December, 1930. 10 Listed on Page High School Honor Roll— PAGE]—High school officials here recently announced the honor roll for the second six weeks of the Fall term of school.
