ADOLPH STODOLA DIES OF INJURIES
12 YEAR OLD SON OF MR. AND MRS. VINCENT STODOLA EXPIRED MONDAY NIGHT.
Adolph Stodola, the 12 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Stodola, who was struck Monday afternoon by a Northwestern train near his home, on the cut off, died about 5 o'clock Monday evening. The injury to his skull, a fracture at the base, caused his death.
It was a deplorable accident and the boys' parents are greatly grieved. The little fellow was working in a field across the Northwestern tracks from his home. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon he became thirsty and was going home for a drink. The Rock Island and Northwestern roads cross each other, the Rock Island going over a viaduct. A Rock Island train was passing the trestle at the time, and the boy was watching this train. The noise drowned out the approach of a Northwestern train and he was caught.
Dr. J.M. Ristine, the company surgeon, was at once notified and he went to boy's home in his automobile. He saw at once that the injuries were fatal. About 5 o'clock he made another visit at the home, and in a short time after the boy breathed his last.
