THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, JUNE 11. 1886, FATAL ACCIDENT AT ELKHORN A Union Pacific Freight Train Ditched— Two Lives Lost. PARTICULARS OF THE AFFAIR. Two Weddings Yesterday The Neb- raska Eportemen- The Justice Court2—Ronncing the Signs- Other Locall A Railroad Accident. and unavoidable acei- bound to One of those sac dents which are now and then oceur on a railroad, happened yes terday on the Union DPacific, about two miles east of Elkhorn The vietims thereof were two Omaha boys, Cornelins Buck- ley and Michacl Donahoe, and James South of Salt Lake City, the two latter of whom were killed instantly. The particulars of the aceident as cived are as follows: Freight train 4, Conductor Rayworth and Engineer left here about half past one yes- Y. bound Near K horn whlie passing through the @decp eut, one of the trucks of a middle ear broke throwing the car down the embankment. All but six of the cars tumbled down the embankment, bein badly wrecked in the fall ortunately the the engine remained on the track. Dan- ger signais were at once put up, and the work of clearing aw the wreck com- menced. It was found that none of the train hands were injured in the least,and for a time it was thought that the re: of the accident would not be rious. One of the train men, however, in passing along the rear ot the wreeked train, heard the groans of injured per- sons, procceding from a mass of piled-up ea An investigation followed, and it was found that four young men had been stealing a ride in one of the box-cars,and that in the accident two of them, Dona- hoe and South, had been killed, and that the third man, Buckley, was terrvibly in- jured. A fourth man, whose nume is not known, was in the car, but escaped without material injury. The bodies were taken out as quickly as possible and Coroner Drexel, who was speedily summoned, went out to the scene of the disaster on a ten o'clock extra. The inquest oceupied over three hours and developed the facts as stated above. In the mean time a wreek- ing train was sent out and the work of clearing the track, which bhad been plowed up for rods, v actively — pushed. The probabilities are that before to-morrow morning there will be no trace of the accident s as the track is conceined . The passengers on the overland t No, 2, were trancferred to a speeial sent out from Omaha and brought into the city, arriving here about ten o'clock yesterday morning. I QUEST. The coronc jury, which was called by Coroner Drexcl at the scene of the wreck, examined the train erew and Ke teringham, the oncof the party who was not_mjured. They veturned a verdict finding that the deceased, M. Don 8. Smith, came to their death while attempting to steal a ride on tran No. 47 of the Union Pacitie, and exoner- ating the company from all blame in the premises, Smith has a wife in destitute circum- stances in Sait Lake. THE KILLED AND INJURED. A reporter yesterday called at the residence, on Thirteenth and Cass, of Michael Donuahoe, Sr., father of the young man who was killed. The sad news of the accident had already reached the parents, and their grief was terrible to behold. Mrs. Donahoe was gobbing and moaning bitterly, and the father was but little better able to control his emotions, while the brothers and sis- ters were giving vent to the passionate foelings of sorrow which the news had caused. From one of the neighbors, the reporter learned something of young Donahoe. He was but eighteen years of age, and has always borne a good reputation for respectability and sobriety. Up toa short time ago he had « been working at his trade, that of car- penter, for Connors, the contractor. On account of a sore hand, for the last few days he hasbeen unemployed. Last night he did not say anything to his folks about gomng west, though he intimated to some of his friends that he thought he'd go on a little western jaunt. He did not spend the night at home. It is supposed the four young men took a notion to en- Joy a ride at the railroad’s exvense, and without any detinite 1deas about destina- tion, ete., jumped aboard the train which bore them to their death. Donahoc's father is a Union Pacitic shop man, Cornelius Buckley, the young man who was injured, wasa son of Owen Buckley, residing at 409 North Eleventh street. He was of about the same age as Donahoe. and was employed as moulder in the Union Pacific shops. Heis a steady young man and has been working up to Wednesday night, when he was paid off,. The bulk of his wages he turned over to his mother.$ About James South, the young man from Salt Lake who was killed, nothing is known. The bodies of the vietim ched here yesterday afternoon. Arrangements for the funeral will be made to-da; WHAT BUCKLEY SAYS, A reporter called yesterday on Buckley, who has been brought to St. Jogph's hospital. His limbs were badly ~ bruised in the accident,and one eye is nearly closed fiom a severe contu “Donahoe and myself,” he said, these other two men at the depot aud we started west on the freight train,mtending to get off ut Valley and come back here ready for work yesterd When the acci dent occurved we were all sitting up talk- ing.

The precaution was unnec s dur- ing the excitement of the afternoon he was not missed, and no s h was made for him until the morrow. It was known that the boy was well armed, and the In- dians did not dare to charge him, great s were the odds in their favor. They re- sorted to the circling dodge to waste his ammunition, and at the same time up a hot fire on him. At the fir ) ance of the savages Gay shot his By the body for a he was only partly dead that he might w breastwork. While protected, the bullets of the Indians failed to hit him. On the other hand he fired deliberately, killing one redskin and drovping two poniesbefore they aban- doned that dodge for another. He was then invited to parley, but he fired on the savages who advanced, realizing that nothing but his death would satisfy the wretches. How the boy prayed and looked for rescue by his companions, how his heart sunk as time went by and the human wolves began to cl in on him, how at last he made up his mind thatv death must come, and that he would face it bravely. are things which make the heart throb witn pity.
