The Musiel place is located adjacent to the Northwestern tracks at Newton station and after leaving Muhowsky's at 10 o'clock Sunday night, Slobach started for home along the railroad tracks and it is believed he failed to hear the approach of the limited which was late in passing Newton and was probably running at a high rate of speed. The party of young people who found the body of Slobach was returning to their homes from a social gathering and in crossing the railroad tracks, driver made the discovery of the injured man at the side of the track. Investigation showed the man to be still breathing and recognized by the members of the party, Slobach was taken to the Musiel home but was dead when the party reached there.

A. H. ROBERTS BOY GROUND TO BITS UNDER TRAIN WHEN ENGINE HITS MOTORCYCLE TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT GRADE CROSSING SUNDAY CLAIMS LIFE OF YOUTH Adolph Roberts, 17, Victim of Speed and Unguarded Rail Crossing Meets Horrible Death (snip) Roberts was hurrying home from is work as a night watchman for the Hunter Construction company on the new addition at the Holy Family hospital, having been delayed as was usual on Sunday morning. He was proceeding south on Sixteenth street and it is believed did not hear the approach of the train which is due at 10:28 but was a little late. The train stops at Calumet round house to turn its engine so that it will be faced for the return trip when it leaves Two Rivers in the afternoon and the engine was running backward into the station here. As Roberts approached the Frankline street crossing of the tracks and secured a view of the train he attempted a short turn of the corner at a point where foundations for the old crossing gates cause a bulge of the pavement and it is believed that striking this caused the man to be thrown from the motorcycle. The youth was hurtled through the air, striking the tracks directly in the path of the tender and his life was crushed out in a second. The engineer, who saw the motorcycle as it came into sight, applied the air brakes but it was too late. The train was proceeding slowly and was stopped in two car lengths. Engineer Mskes Statement The train, No. 717, was in charge of James McConnel, conductor, Peter Rasmussen, Green Bay, engineer and O. Corey, fireman, also of Green Bay. Engineer Rasmussen, who is believed to have been the only one who witnessed the accident, in a statement said: "We were running at a speed of not more than ten miles as is customary in pulling in with the trin after turning our engine at the Round Hous so that it may be headed south for the return trip in the afternoon. I saw the motorcycle when the engine was about thirty yards from the crossing and evidently the driver saw the train approaching at the same moment. He made an attempt to cut the corner short and the motorcycle apparently was about to overturn and the man was thrown from the machine landing direcly across the track in the path of the tender, the wheels of which cut the body in twain. "I applied the air brakes immediately I saw the motorcycle but it was too late. The train was stopped within two car lengths but too late to save the unfortunate rider. The motorcycle was carried onto the track and was pushed ahead of the tender. (snip) Schettl Identifies Him Louis Schettl of the Schettl motorcycle concern, was the first to identify the dead man and the identification was confirmed later by others in the crowd who knew the boy. Owing to delay in the arrival of the Coroner and other author- ities, the dismembered body, strewn all along the right of way for a distance of 100 feet or more, with the head and part of the trunk pinioned under the front wheels of the engine could not be moved and hundreds viewed the gruesome spectacle, the horror of which caused the women to faint and scream. It was a ghastly sight but in the excitement which prevailed no one thought to cover the remains and they lay upon the track in full view of the throng for a half hour or more, before undertaker Vogelsang was permitted to remove them. (snip) Coroner Takes Charge Coroner W.G. Kemper directed that the body be taken to the undertaking rooms of the Vogelsang company and notified parents of the boy. Agent George Levenhagen of the local offices of the Northwestern assisted Police Chief Trochlell and Officers Christiansen and Healy who were at the scene while F. Conover, superintendent for the Hutter company by whom Roberts was employed, directed that everything possible be done for the dead boy and the family, paying tribute to the youth in his service with the concern by whom he had been employed for several months. Police official secured statements from members of the train crew and others who arrived on the scene early which were turned over to the coroner for the inquest here. Although the North Western maintains a crossing watchman at Sixteenth street on week days the crossing has not been guarded on Sundays. Boy Only 17 Years Old Adolph Roberts was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Matt Roberts, who reside in the town of Newton, just off Highway 17, about four miles from the city, and was born June 18, 1906, having always made his home here. The youth had returned to his home yesterday morning at 7 and remained for an hour and had then returned to the hospital for a tour of inspection of the boilers until the arrival of the day man, planning to be home for dinner at 12. Besides his parents he is survived by five brothers, Charles, Anton, Oscar, of this city, Erwin at Newton and Nicholas, who resides in New York and one sister Mrs. Edward Zinkel of Newton. Funeral services will be held from the Vogelsang undertaking parlors to St. Boniface church at 9 tomorrow morning with burial at Calvary cemetery. Inquest is Ordered A coroner's jury was selected for an inquest which was called at 1 o'clock today but will adjourn until later in the week. The jury will be composed of Henry Knell, Hugo Menzel, David Balkansky, Frank Linder, Andrew Clark and Charles Schlei. Dist. Atty. Brady and Coroner Kemper will conduct the inquest and members of the train crew will be summonded as witnesses. The inquest has been ordered for 10 o'clock Friday morning.

The coroner's jury freed the railway company of any responsibility in the case but the company took the matter up and paid the family the sum mentioned which was accepted as satisfactory.
