Our Family's Journey Through Time

Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: (Medical):Mr. Leeson held the position of superintendent of bridge construction of the Northern Pacific Railway for a long time and was in active discharge of his duties when the accident occurred which resulted in his death thirteen hours later. He had left the station with a gang of men ahead of a freight train. The freight train hove in sight behind them at a narrow pass and they were obliged to set their hand car up on its side against a bank and hold it there for the train to pass. Mr. Leeson stepped across the strack to pick up something and then stepped back to the side where his men were. No on knows how the accident took place, but it is supposed some gravel must have given way under his feet and caused him to sway towards the track, when the engine struck him on the side, throwing him a great distance, breaking several ribs and inflicting other sever injuries. The train was reversed at once and the injured man taken to Spokane. No less than seven doctors were called, but their services were of no avail to save his life. |
