HOSS BURIED AT BROOKVILLE FUNERAL OF DROWNED FOREMAN HELD THERE LIVED MANY YEARS IN SALINA Mother and One Brother Live at Brookville More Particulars of the Accident The funeral services for William Hoss, the Union Pacific section foreman who was drowned in the floods at Hill City, were held at the Star church, near Brookville, Saturday afternoon. The interment was in the cemetery near Brookville. Hoss lived for many years on north Santa Fe avenue north of the Union Pacific tracks. His mother Mrs. Lydia Hoss and one brother live at Brookville near the Star church and that is why the remains were taken there for burial. Another brother is the section foreman at Zurich. The Hill City Reville, says among other things in tell of the death of Hoss: William Hoss, foreman on Extra Section No.4, with the following crew: Buck Thornton, Robert Ensley, Bob Patten and Ralph Scroggins, left here Wednesday eve, June 2nd, after one of the heaviest rains in the history of the county to inspect the railroad tracks and bridges in this division. They went east leaving Ralph Scroggins on watch at the first culvert as the river was coming up rapidly, and proceeded on their way east. They evidently thought the bridge a mile and a half east of here was not in danger and no one was left on guard. About a mile west of Bogue they found a culvert washed out. Foreman Hoss forded this and walked on to Bogue, where he wired in his report. He returned to the washout and with the three men started to return to Hill City on the motor car. At the bridge one mile and a half east of this city, the fill on this side was washed out for 150 feet and it was into this that they plunged to death. William Hoss, the foreman is a white man with headquarters in this city. He has a brother who is foreman on the section at Zurich and a mother and brother live at Brookville, Kansas. The others on the dead members of the crew were colored men who came here from Denver. The U. P. R. R. Co., takes every precaution to safeguard the traveling public on their road and these men gave their lives doing their duty. The Company should see that a monument is erected over each of these graves and have inscribed on thereon: "Died on Duty."
