JOHAN TEGGE
Last Saturday morning the telegraph brought news of the death of John Tegge,
until a week previous a resident of this city, at Howard Junction, Ill., he
having died from the effects of injuries sustained by being run over by a train
of cars. Tegge, a young man nearly 25 years of age, had left this city on Tuesday
of last week to find employment, and was walking toward Rockford, on the railroad
track, when the accident happened. It seems he heard the train coming, but
endeavored to cross the bridge some 16 feet long ahead of the train, but slipping,
fell lengthwise of the track and between the rails, and some part of the engine
struck him on the head, fracturing the skull. He was not mangled, and when picked
up it was thought that no fatal injuries had been sustained. This occurred at 7 in
the evening and he lived until midnight. His remains reached the city by express
on Monday morning and were buried in the afternoon. The unfortunate young man was
a son of William Tegge, well known here as a respectable, hard-working citizen,
and his sudden death is a sad blow to his relatives and friends.

John Tager (sic), a young man of this city, left his home one week ago Tuesday,
to visit friends in the southern part of the state. While out walking in company
with a friend on the rail road track near Harvard, they observed a train
approaching but thought they had sufficient time to cross a bridge some fifteen
feet in length, which lay in the direction they were going, before the train would
overtake them. In crossing, Tager tripped and fell on the bridge between the rails
in such a position that the wheels of the cars could do him no injury. He was
struck on the head and had his skull fractured. He lived but five hours after the
accident occurred. His body was brought home on Monday.
