- Another Railway Wreck
Yellow Creek Bridge the Scene of Another Accident.
From Brookfield Argus.
Misfortunes seems to never come singly. Yellow Creek was the scene of another wreck last Saturday morning and, as a result, Oscar Cassity, fireman of the pile driver, is dead and Ross Robbins was seriously hurt.
Work of repairing the damage done by the awful disaster the Saturday previous was in progress. The pile driver was on the bridge, and while lifting piling from below, became top heavy and went down, bottom side up. Mr. Cassidy who was fatally hurt, was brought to Brookfield and taken to the Q hotel where he died a few hours later. Mr. Robbins was taken to his home in South Brookfield and will recover.
The remains of Mr. Cassidy were taken to his home at Purdin in a special car.
