Saturday, 10 June 1882

         A young man named MATTHEW HAGERTY, of Town of
       Casco, came to his death while driving on Elk
       river, on Friday morning. HAGERTY rode over the
       dam on a log, but slipped his footing and fell
       into the river, at the same time another log
       slid out of the sluice and forcibly struck the
       young man on the breast. He was taken almost
       lifeless from the river and lived only 28 hours
       after. His body was brought here on Saturday
       morning and was taken care of by the family,
       who had been telegraphed of the sad circum-
       stances. The body was conveyed from the C. & N.
       W.R.R. depot to A. Reis' Hotel, and from thence
       to the parents residence, in Casco. He was 27
       years of age, and was engaged to a young lady
       in Stevens Point. The marriage would have taken
       place in two weeks. The lady was telegraphed to
       of the accident, and arrived here in deep mourn-
       ing and attended the funeral services at Casco
       Sunday afternoon.
