FATAL ACCIDENT
OCCURS AT EDEN
BERNARD CALLAHAN IS KILLED
IN RUN-AWAY MONDAY AFTERNOON

   A cloud of smoke from the engine of the 4 o'clock northbound North Western train, blew over the top of the O'Brien elevator in Eden last Monday afternoon, enveloped and frightened a team of horses and resulted in the death of Bernard Callahan, aged 54 years, a retired farmer of Eden.
   As the team started on a run onto the street, Mr. Callahan was thrown to the ground, his feet becoming entangled in the reins. He was dragged about 50 feet before bystanders could stop the team and was dead when they reached his side. His back was broken and according to the physician, death was almost instantaneous.
   Coroner S. B. Mahoney was called to the scene of the accident and took the body to the home of the run-away victim's sister, Mrs. John Mangan, at Fond du Lac.
   The funeral was held this (Thursday) morning at 10:30 o'clock from the St. James church at South Eden, Rev. Father McFarland officiating. Interment took place in the adjoining cemetery.
   Mr. Callahan is survived by one brother, John Callahan of Eden, and one sister, Mrs. John Mangan of Fond du Lac.
