CRAWFORD, Thomas

FATAL ACCIDENT: The chipping room of the Piedmont Pulp and Paper Co's mill was the scene of a most distressing accident last Saturday morning and which resulted in the instant death of a very clever young man of Westernport. The victim of the unfortunate occurrence was Thomas Crawford, son of James Crawford, living on Westernport Hill. He was employed in the lime room of the mill, and was that week working on the night force, but had passed into the chipping room and stopped in front of the circular saw for a moment or two. While there, a log was put upon the carriage and had been sawed into two pieces, but being a longer log than those commonly sent into the room it was necessary to saw it again, and young Crawford had just stooped down to assist in moving the log for those of his friends working the saw, when from some unaccountable reason, the mandrel or shaft of the machine, on which the saw is suspended, snapped off, and the saw whirling with tremendous force flew from its pinning and striking the young man, while still bending over the log. Death was instantaneous and as a matter of course was painless, the lad in all probability not being conscious of injury. His body was soon after taken to the home of his parents, where the sad news had made a distressed household. The funeral took place from the M.E. Church, South, on Monday. The remains were followed to the church and thence to the cemetery by Piedmont Council No. 19 Junior Order of American Mechanics, of which the deceased was a member.

CREEGAN, Bernard

CAPTURE OF JOHN J. M’GADY. He is Arrested in Helena, Montana, and Will Return to Cumberland Without a Requisition—Picture of the Man and the Story of His Crime.
News was received in this city yesterday evening by Sheriff Hohing from Marshal C. H. Hard, of Helena, Montana, of the arrest at that place of John J. McGady, who killed Barney Creegan at Midland.  McGady is now on his way here and will probably reach here on today.  McGady committed a frightful crime at Midland on the morning of Sunday, February 17, at half past twelve. The particulars as gleaned by a Times reporter at [the] time were as follows: McGady had been collecting money for a church, finished his  labors about half past ten o’clock that evening and went up to various saloons with a crowd of young men among whom was Bernard Creegan.  After visiting Stakem’s and Kenney’s the crowd went up to Frank Ennis saloon, where McGady entered into a conversation with the bartender, telling him that his wife was down at Lonaconing at her father’s and he was going to walk down there to see her. He remained in Ennis’ drinking with the crowd until shortly before 1 o’clock Saturday night, when Ennis ordering the saloon closed, one of the crowd suggested that all hands take a friendly drink and go home. The drink was taken and the crowd left the saloon, but when they got on the outside Creegan began to quarrel with McGady. After abusive language on the part of Creegan towards McGady, they got into a tussle, clinched and fell down a small embankment. They then got up and came back where the crowd was standing.  Creegan then took off his coat, and he began to quarrel again and clinched with McGady; both of the men fell upon their sides; McGady turned Creegan under him when at this juncture of the proceedings McGady called out “he is biting.” The parties in the crowd then separated them and McGady got up and remarked that “Creegan had tried to do the dirty work with him,” and stepping back a few paces, drew his revolver and fired two shots, the first taking effect in the throat just above the breast bone and the other struck Creegan in the right wrist shattering the ulna.  After the shooting Creegan walked about 75 yards, followed by the crowd, when he fell from loss of blood, and was carried into Stakem's house, where Drs. White and Smith were called to assist the sufferer.  They made an examination of the wounds and found that one ball had passed in the neck through the windpipe and lodged in the back of the neck and that another ball had struck the right wrist shattering the ulna. The physicians remained with him until Sunday morning at 7 o’clock.  Creegan made no ante-mortem statement.  McGady then went to a friend’s house, where it is supposed, he learned of Creegan's death and concealed himself until an opportunity was created for his escape to Montana. McGady is a young man 24 years of age and was a miner, employed in the Ocean mine of the Consolidation Coal company , a mile above Midland.  He married a daughter of Patrick Cavanaugh, of Ocean, he is short in stature about five feet five inches in height, with light hair and blue eyes.  Barney Creegan, the man killed, was about 21 years of age, and a son of Patrick Creegan, a saloon keeper at Midland.  His brother Edward Creegan, is the telegraph operator on the George’s Creek and Cumberland railroad at Midland Junction.  He was unmarried, and was a driver in the National mine of Hitchins Brothers Midland. He was a tall and fine looking fellow and very popular.
