Crushed to Death.
While in charge of an engine of a
threshing machine belonging to Rufe
Wilson, near Ashton, last Friday
afternoon, Jake Winklemann of this
city was crushed to deatli between
the engine and separator. Coroner
Main was called to the scene of the
accident as soon as possible, summon
ed a jury and held an inquest, from
which was adduced the following
facts: Mr. Winklemann had charge
of the engine and was endeavoring to
move the machine from one point to
another, and assisting him was an
expert on sucli matters. Arriving at
a bad portion of the road, and
attempting to cross a ravine, the
engine drawing tiie separator with a
rope, said rope snapped in two, and
in attempting to back the engine
down to the separator he lost control
of the engine and it crashed into the
separator chrusliing him neath the
self-feeder and the engine, driving
the lubricator deep into his left
breast, causing it is thought, immedi
ate death. At the same time the
lubricator was broken in such a
manner that the hot steam fairly
cooked the body, and for at least fif
teen minutes held the body in a posi
tion with the hot steam pouring upon
it before the body could be extrica
ted. When tiie danger became ap
parent, the expert jumped out of
harm's way, warning Winklemann to
also jump, but he evidently did not
baar and went to his death as afore
said. The body was brought to this
city, where the funeral was held from
the Baptist church, Sunday after
noon. a large number of people wit
nessing the last sad rites, and the
remains were placed at rest in our
cemetery, in charge of the Modern
Woodmen lodge of which he was a
member.' Mr, Winklemann was a son
of Capt- .lacob Winklemann of this
City, was about thirty-five years of
age, a married man. leaving a wife
and three children, had been in poor
health for several years, afflicted with
stomach trouble, which incapacitated
him for business a large portion of
the time, was well liked by those who
knew him, and the community at
large were greatly shocked by his
untimely death. His wife will receive
$2,0(0 insurance from the Woodmen
brotherhood.

Editor Cooley's baseball team was
recently defeated by a country team
over in the vicinity of Loup City and
the versatile editor of the Champion
returned home and said some horribly
mean tilings about the fellow that
umpired the game. Later we picked
up a copy of the Loup City North
western and were told that the umpire
was on the square and that Cooley
simply tried to .shift the responsibili
ty of the lass of the game onto the
umpire's shoulders. Knowing Cooley’s
baseball reputation we are inclined
to record our sympathies with the
Loup City man’s side of the story.—
