(Translation: Google). Killed on the railway. Regarding the accident previously mentioned in the telegram at Partilled, G. P writes:
The conductor Otto Bergman from this town, about 37 years old, was run over at 9 o'clock on Tuesday evening at Partilled's railway station, with the consequence that he died immediately from the severe injuries received. Bergman, who was serving on the lower freight train, jumped off it before it had completely stopped and fell between two carriages, whereby one carriage went over and crushed him before the train had completely stopped, which took a few seconds due to the slipperiness of the tracks. The one who died so sadly leaves a widow and 3 children.
Railway accident. On Wednesday, the 12th, the conductor Otto Bergman was killed by the descending night train at Partilled.
