J.C. YOUNGKIN KILLED BY TRAIN THIS AFTERNOON
"Stepped From Track But Did Not Get Far Enough Away"
John C. Youngkin, age 76 years, and for twenty years a resident of Minot, was hit and instantly killed by Train No. 105 of the Soo line shortly after -1:00- this afternoon near the crossing at Valley Street and on the road heading to Valkers Greenhouse east of the city. He was on the way up town and was walking near the track. The engineer of the train blew his whistle for the crossing only a short distance away and the victim evidently heard it and stepped from the track but did not get far enough away and the cross beam front of the engine hit him, throwing him about thirty feet and killing him instantly. The train was stopped in two car lengths after it struck Mr. Youngkin and the crew returned to help in caring for the man but he was dead when help reached him.
The body was removed to the undertaking parlor of J.W. Rowan and an inquest will be held tomorrow morning: one arm is broken, there is a severe scalp wound and one side is badly crushed. It is probable that the beam when struck him in the side caused the fatal injury.
He was a well known and highly respected citizen, and his death will be a severe shock to hundreds of people in the city, who have known him for many years.
He leaves five sons and four daughters, his wife having died several years ago.
No arrangements have been made for the funeral as yet, the relatives being prostrated by the deed of the accident which took from them a father without warning.

CORONER'S JURY STILL SITTING
Police Justice Lynch, acting coroner, and a coroner's jury consisting of C.A. Grow, Thomas Clone and John Reavin, with State's Attorney, O.B. Herigstal assisting, are today hearing evidence as to the responsibility for the death of John C. Youngkin, who was instantly killed yesterday afternoon by being struck by a train No. 105 of the Soo line in the eastern portion of this city.
Evidence is being heard as to whether the engineer and fireman of the train were negligent in their duty. Among other things being brought out is the statement that the train running twenty-five to thirty miles an hour, that it did not stop in less than 700 feet after the man was struck, that the whistle was not blown and that the bell was not rung.
The verdict of the Jury had not been returned when the Optic-Reporter went to press this afternoon.
The funeral arrangements have not been completed but it is tentatively expected that they will be held tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock at the undertaking parlors of J.W. Rowan and if there is a church service.
The funeral cortege will go from the undertaking parlors directly to the church. The interment will be made in Rosehill cemetery.

JURY HELD NO ONE AT FAULT
DEATH OF J.C. YOUNGKIN NOT DUE TO NEGLIGENCE OF SOO TRAIN CREW
The Coroner's Jury which investigated the cause of the death of John C. Youngkin, who was killed by being struck by Soo train No. 105 in the eastern portion of the city Tuesday afternoon and reported its findings to Police Justice Lynch, who was acting Coroner. The Jury returned a formal finding that the deceased came to his death by being struck by a Soo train but did not charge the responsibility for his death on anyone.
There was some evidence that the crew of the train were negligent, but the result of the investigation showed that the facts were substantially as published in the Optic-Reporter on the day of the accident, the only difference being as to details. The general story was the same.
The funeral will be held from the undertaking parlors of J.W. Rowan this afternoon at 4 o'clock after this paper goes to press. The interment will be made in Rosehill cemetery.
The snapping out of the life of the aged victim ended a journey of long years, many of which were filled with happiness and some of which were trying of the soul. He had been in ill health for several months and this, with advancing years, pressed down upon him but he did not complain of his lot and went his way without a murmur. His wife had been dead for many years and when the blow that swept the soul from the moorings of time to the anchorage of eternity came like the flash of the lightening, he too, passed to that mysterious unknown of the unsearched hereafter where things that oppress and sadden in mortality are forgotten in the newer existence of immortality.
The clods of earth will hide forever the face of a man who lived his life as he found it and passed from it with high hopes for a better one in the realms beyond the grave.
