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

JOHN TURNER,
Prop.
was Clyde’s first entrance into
business. 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.
