JOZEF BEKIER

SENSATIONAL RUMORS CONCERNING DEATH OF LOCAL MAN STRICKEN AT 
VALDERS PROVE UNTRUE
Found unconscious in a barn on the farm near Valders where he was 
employed ten days ago, Joseph Becker, of this city died at the 
hospital here without regaining consciousness, a victim of paralysis 
and the funeral was held today, burial being at St. Mary’s Cemetery. 
Becker was found by his employer early one morning and was brought 
to the hospital here. 
Sensational reports that Becker had been run down by an automobile 
on the road out of Valders and that he had later been carried to the 
barn and left there without attention have no foundation, it being 
said by physicians that the man suffered a stroke of paralysis, and 
that a bruise on his face resulted when he suffered the attack 
probably. 
Becker is survived by a widow, from whom he is divorced and four 
children, Mrs. G. Kortensky, John and Joseph, Jr., this city and 
Mrs. W. Theis, Two Rivers.

WALTER BISHOP

SECTION MAN ON N.W. LINE KILLED BY ENGINE TODAY
Walter Bishop, 42, Run Down in Calumet yards, And Dies Short Time Later—
Had Narrow Escape Yesterday
Walter Bishop, a section man employed by the Northwestern Railway company 
in this city was killed in the Calumet yards of the company this morning 
when he was struck by a snow plow. Bishop lived but a short time, expiring 
soon after he had been removed to the depot where he was taken to await 
the arrival of physicians. Bishop, it is reported, narrowly escaped death 
yesterday when he stepped from the track just in time to avoid being struck 
by an oncoming train. Just how the fatal accident today occurred is not 
known. Bishop was at work clearing the rails and probably did not hear the 
approach of the train until too late to clear the track. Both hips were 
broken. Coroner Falge was notified but it has not been determined whether 
an inquest will be held or not. 
Bishop was forty two years of age and resided at 1036 South 25th street. He 
is married and the father of a family of eight children. The body was removed 
to the undertaking rooms of Urbanek and Wattawa and will later be taken to 
the home. The funeral will be held Saturday morning.

BISHOP DEATH ACCIDENTAL IS JURY VERDICT

The death of Walter Bishop, C & N.W. section man killed in the Calumet

verdict returned by the coroner’s jury today after an inquest which was 
called for yesterday and adjourned until this morning. Members of the 
crews of two trains testified and the jury held that no one was to blame 
for the death. The train crews were unable to appear yesterday owing to 
a tie up of their train at Francis Creek. The funeral of Bishop was held

Injured:
Henry Vogt, 32, of 1912 South 14th street, owner of the car, who suffered a 
fractured leg and possible internal injuries.
Butz and Novak were almost instantly killed. Daron died shortly after 9 a.m. 
today in a Green Bay hospital. Vogt is expected to live, physicians said.
Butz, Vogt and Daron were members of the Eagles degree team which took part 
last night in a district meeting held in Green Bay in honor of John A. Abel, 
national president of the Eagles.
William Kustka, 1112 Manila street, also a member of the degree team, was to 
drive to the meeting with Vogt but at the last moment made other arrangements 
and so escaped the accident.
At 1:50 A.M.
The crash occurred at the railroad crossing in Bellevue on Highway 141 at 1:50 
this morning when the car smashed into the front end of a Chicago and North 
Western freight engine as the train was pulling from a siding onto the main 
track on its way to Green Bay.
Engineer Joe Petroski, pilot of the freight train, said he saw the automobile 
approaching the crossing when it was a block away. He set his whistle and 
emergency brakes, he said, and the train stopped almost as the crash occurred. 
The car crashed into the front end of the locomotive, bending the cow-catcher. 
The front of the automobile was telescoped, and the motor completely crushed 
and pushed into the front seat.
The freight train, No. 169, had been waiting on the siding for No. 212. The 
freight was late on its northen run because it was held up in Manitowoc waiting 
for a ferry.
As the machine hit the train Vogt, who apparently was driving, was thrown out 
the left side of the car and under the train. Wheels of the train, however, 
did not pass over him. Daron was thrown out on the pavement on the right side 
of the car.
Inquest Planned
Butz and Novak were in the back seat when authorities arrived. Both were 
apparently living when they were taken from the car but were pronounced dead 
upon entry to a Green Bay hospital. Daron, who suffered critical head and 
internal injuries, was given little chance to live when doctors examined him 
and died several hours later.
"The car appeared to pick up speed between the point where I first saw it, 
coming around a curve, and the railroad crossing." Engineer Petroski told 
authorities. "It hit the right front corner of the locomotive."
The car was against the train, facing south, as the freight came to a stop.
Coroner Orlan Miller of Brown county, said he was making plans for an inquest 
into the cause of the three deaths.
The tragedy early today is not to interfere with the Eagles meeting at the 
clubrooms tonight, according to President William Kustka. The speaker will be 
John A. Abel of Marion, Ohio, grand worthy president of the order, who spoke 
last night at Green Bay. The meeting will be confined, however, to the speaking 
program.
Butz Rites Saturday
Hugo Buts, 54, a past worthy president of the Manitowoc aerie of Eagles, was

FATHER DEAD; CAN'T FIND SON IGNATZ GOLATA, 
THOUGHT TO BE AT ASHLAND, HAS LEFT THAT CITY
Thought to be at Ashland, Ignatz Golata of this city, son of John Golata 
who died suddenly Thursday, has left there and efforts to locate him to

Saturday morning. Some anxiety is felt by relatives as Golata in the past 
has always kept his family informed of his whereabouts.  The death of John 
Golata occurred at the family home on Marshal street where he was removed 
after the sudden attack of heart trouble and death occurred within minutes.  
Mr. Golata was 59 years of age.  He is survived by a widow and eight children, 
three of whom are at home.  The funeral will be held from St. Mary's church 
on Marshal street at 9 Saturday morning.
