rOUNG TEAMSTER
MEETS DEATH IN
FALL FROM SEAT
James Pettigrew, Well Kncwn Young
Laborer Almost Instantly Killed
in Accident This Morning.
BODY CRUSHED UNDER WHEELS
WM Driving t' Webb Street With
load of Gravel Young Man liii
n Way to tiie Hospital Wai 14
Years Old ami Had l.iMxl III 100-1
dleton for Ite Y'oars.
James Byrel Pettigrew. well known
young teamster of this city, was al
most instantly killed this morning
when he fell from a loaded gravel
wagon under the heavy wheel". Two
wheels passed over him, one crush
ing bis skull. He expired while be
ing taken to .St. Anthonys hospital.
The unfortunate young man was
driving a wagon loaded with two
yards of dirt up Webb street about
3:3a, the dirt being designed for use
in the fill for the sidewalk being
built on East Webb street by the
u'Melveny Construction Co At a
point on Webb stret about midway
between Johnson and Thompson
street, he drove his team across the
railroad tracks to pass out around
the 0 Melveny concrete mixer whi:h
was being hauled up the street. As
he did so one of the horses shied a
little and the teamster leaned a little
forward and out to whip the horse
with the end cthe line. A', that
moment one of re wheels struck the
north rail of the track and skidded
throwing the driver out of the wa
gon. A front wheel passed diagonal
ly over his chest and the hind wheel
passed over the chest and up over
the head.
Jack Garrison, who was sitting In
the seat with young Pettigrew. at
tempted to prevent the fall. He and
Guy O'Melveny, who was driving the
mixer, picked the injured man up
and hurried him to the hospital,
but he died on the way.
Deceased, who was 24 years' old,
had been in Pendleton five years and
for the past four years had been in
the employ of I. Wilkes, who does
a general teaming business. He was
unmarried His parents live in -Seymour,
Iowa, and have been notified
btqnOst t He Held.
A coroner's inquest will be held
this afternoon at 4 o'clock by Justice
of the Peace Joe H. Parkes, acting
coroner In the absence of J. T.
Brown. An examination of the de
ceased makes it doubtful Whether
the wheels of the wagon actually
ran over the head There Is a. mark
on the forehead as from, a violent
blow Death w-as undoubtedly :aus
ed from the hemmorrhage ensuing
from wheels crushing the chest.
A pathetic feature of the case lies
in the fact that the young man was
preparing to leave for Iowa to visit
his parents whom he had not seen
for several years. He had written
them of his Intention and friends say
he had made plans to quit work at
noon today.
