Employees Fight For Their Lives Three Great Northern Railway employees, Lars Larson, Fleet Malkon, and Edwin Bergner, were putting up a valiant fight for their lives today in a local hospital where they were taken last Saturday afternoon after an attack in which each suffered severe head injuries from a pick wielded by Francesco Dastoli, railroad section laborer who went beserk in the Havre yards. An attending physician reported that Larson, 59, section foreman, who was operated on for a severe skull fracture was showing little improvement today. Reconstructing the events of last Saturday, Dastoli, armed with a hand pick went to the office of Larson whom he struck down inflicting two deep wounds in the section foreman's head. He calmly left he office and proceeded to a point near the east end of the freight platform where he came upon Malkon bent over cleaning a switch. He felled the laborer with a blow and continued west. At a brick pump house Dastoli came across Bergner. He smashed Bergner across the head. An ambulance took Bergner to the hospital and about the same time Malkon was discovered and rushed to the hospital. A few minutes later Larson was found. Larson had served the Great Northern 38 years, Malkon 28 years and Bergner 26 years. --- 19 Nov 1945 Lars Larson Succumbs to Head Injury Saturday A possible charge of murder faced Francesco Dastoli, railroad laborer, today when a victim of his attack, Lars Larson, 59, Great Northern railway section foreman, died at 6:55 o'clock last Saturday morning in a local hospital from a fractured skull suffered when Dastoli assaulted Larson with a pick, Nov. 10.
