Mrs. Kate Olsifka, mother of the boy, went down Sunday but word has not been received from her as to his death. Sturek has a younger brother in the Philippines: "M.J. Sturek of Columbus, Neb., died early yesterday morning in a local hospital from the effects of injuries received by being run over by a freight train near Minden, and an amputation of one arm at the shoulder, performed later in this city. Sturek has been working in a gang on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific near Minden. He boarded a freight train Saturday, about noon, intending to come to Council Bluffs. It is stated he was discovered by a brakeman a short distance from Minden, riding on the bumpers between two cars. The brakeman ordered him to jump off, and when he failed to do so pushed him off, it is charged, just as the train was crossing a small bridge, Sturek fell with one arm across the rails, and it was badly mangled. He was brought to this city several hours later and his arm amputated about 5 o'clock. He did not rally well from the operation. He was 24 years old, and one of his brothers, Peter Sturek, lives on North Twenty-eighth street, Omaha. Coroner Treynor will hold an inquest this afternoon." [Since the above was put into type we learn that the remains of the young man will arrive here this Tuesday evening.]
