Near Blair, Neb.
Reno Morrison, 'a young man of
eighteen years, was killed while at
work on a pile driver on some rip-rapping
work intended to protect the
Northwestern bridge across the Mis
souri river at Blair.
A gang of ten men was employed
on the work, the pile driver being some
distance from the bank. Without any
warning whatever the structure gave
way and the heavy machinery plunged
into water forty feet deep. Morrison
was caught under the timbers and car
ried down.
O. Merica, employed in the engine
cab of the pile driver, crawled out of
the window when the structure was
sinking and barely saved his life. Eight
men who were working on the plat
form, threw themselves into the -vrater
and were picked up alive. Morrison
is the son of Mrs. Jacob Keppel of
Blair, a widow.
