EMIL BERNHARDT FATALLY INJURED

Frightened Horse Drags Berlin Boy Under Street Car While He Was Driving Home From Galt Saturday Evening

Another Berlin young man met with a sad fatality on Saturday evening when Emil Bernhardt, the sixteen- year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bernhardt, 184 Benton street, was dragged under the wheels of a Galt, Preston and Hespeler car between Preston and Galt and succumbed to his injuries an hour later ia the Galt General Hospital.

The young man was returning from Galt about 10.30 o'clock where he had gone earlier in the evening and when approaching Preston the G. P. & H. car with its strong head-light and an automobile with two mere strong lights, were coming toward the young driver en route to Galt. The horse became frightened and leaped on the track in front of the car which was being slackered in speed by the motorman. The car struck the buggy throwing Bernhardt to the track and crushing his head beneath the heavy trucks. The vehicle was smashed to pieces but the horse escaped without injury and was not recaptured until Sunday morning.

The unfortunate victim was placed on the street car and hurriedly conveyed to the Galt Hospital where he passed away a few minutes after his arrival. He was terribly disfigured and was scarcely recognizable, his nose and jaw being crushed.

Young Bernhardt had loaned the horse from Gregor Tschirhart who had given him the outfit in return for some work which had been performed for him. Mr. Tschirhart understood, however, that Bernhardt was to drive about town but the lad informed his parents of his intentions of going to Galt to see a lady friend. On his way he picked up a chum named Gruby, who accompanied him as far as Preston, when he urged his friend to return on account of the approaching storm. Bernhardt demurred, however, and persisted in going to Galt, whereupon Gruby left him and returned to Berlin by rail.

It was not until late on Sunday morning that the parents of the boy learned of the death of their son by Chief O'Neill. The father and an elder brother of the boy are in Galt to-day attending the inquest which opened at 11 o'clock this morning.

The funeral will take place on Tuesday afternoon from the residence on 184 Benton street where services will be held and to Mount Hope cemetery for interment.

This is the third fatality which has taken place on the Galt, Preston and Hespeler railway this year.
