A Sad Accident.
News was received in this city yesterday that Dugald McDonald [sic] had been instantly killed at Brule by the cars. Mr. McDonald [sic] was bridge foreman for the Northern Pacific road, and had been in their employ for many years. In company with his crew he had gone to that place and had gotten off the train about ten car lengths from the depot; the train had been cut in two and was backing down to the depot and as it came along he got on the front end and jumped off on the depot platform but slipped as he did so before he let go his hold of the hand-rail and was jerked off the platform in front of the moving car and run over, being frightfully mangled, death resulting instantly. The remains were taken to West Superior and prepared for burial before being sent to Brainerd, arriving at the latter place at 8:40 last evening, where they were met by a large delegation of members of the Masonic order and friends, and conveyed to Lynch & Gallop's undertaking rooms.
The deceased was one of our most respected citizens and the grief and sorrow throughout the entire city was universal when the sad news was received. He was a member of Ascalon Commandery, Knights Templar, of this city, and the funeral, which takes place Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the Congregational church, will be conducted under Masonic rites.
The deceased leaves a widow to whom the sympathy of the community at large goes out in her hour of great sorrow. (Brainerd Dispatch, 29 January 1892)
