| Chicanna Stefano, an Italian laborer, was the first victim of a fatal accident on the rebuilding of the new Portage railroad. On Monday afternoon he had his life crushed out under a car while he was assisting in placing it on the rails. Death was caused by the slipping of a jack which was placed under a car off the track. All the men were out of the way, three to four years [yards?] or about, when the jack slipped. This man slipped simultaneous when the jack fell under the car as the car dropped, and met instant death by being crushed. |
