THE OMAHA DAILY NATHAN S. W'LEAN KILLED Struck by Motor Oar on Couneil Bluffs Line While Walking on Track. HEAD CRUSHED BY IMPACT WITH CAR Decensed Lived in Counell B Was Interested In a Firm Doing Basine Omaha, Nathan S. McLean, president of the John- ton-McLean company, a plaining mill and wood working concern at Sixth and Jones | streets, was struck and instantly killed by a westbound car on the line of the Omaba & Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge company in Council Bluffs yesterday morning. The accident becurred at the corner of Thirty- sixth street and Avenue A at 12:22 a. m. No ofie on the car knew the dead man, but he was identified by papers in his pockets which bore the name of Nathan 8. McLean Among these papers were letters and a commutation book on the bridge line Mr. MoLean was. walking toward Omaba between the rails of the right-hand track. The car was running at high speed and the tender caught the man from behind about the height of the knees. He was thrown backward against the front of the car, his head striking the top of the fender and bending the iron elats back out of place. This blow killed him and the body was then thrown up Into the air and to one side. As the car whiried by passengers on the rear platform saw the body in the light from the car windows. It fell in the ditch ffteen feet from the track, where it was found. The head was crushed in the back, but the face was not mutilated. Ald was called from the car barn at Twenty-ninth street and Manager Tarkington was quickly on the Bcene with a corps of assistants. Cor- oner Treynor was notified and he sent Un- dertaker. Cutler out for the body, which was removed to the morgue. Mr. MeLean lived at Twenty-third street and Avenue D, Counmeil Bluffs. His pres- ence in the part of the city where he was killed at that time of night was not ex- plained last night. The car which struck him was No. 62, one of the long ones. It was in charge of Motorman Willlam Ponce- low and Conductor Willlam Fuller. It was the last car west for the night and left Broadway connections on time. The shock of the collision was strong. The entire car was jarred and everyone of the fifteen passengers notlced it. Motorman's Story. Motorman Poncelow stopped the car within 125 feet of where the body fell. Most of the passemgers thought the car had rum over a plece of wood or a stone, till Ponos low came back and sald he had struck a man. The body was lying face dowhward and blood was flowing profusely. It was thought on & hasty examination that some bones in the body had been broken. “‘He was walking slow along the tracks, close to the outside rall,” sald Motorman Poncelow. “I saw him sort of stagger just a8 the car came on him. He pald mo at- tention to it and we hit him with the outer edge of the fender. The body came back and struck the corner of the ear, vhleh ACCIDENTS MAR THE RACES Two Horses Fall and One Turns Som. erset, All Riders Farlag Badiy.
