Albert Anderson Is Suddenly Called While Fishing In Spearfish Canyon
About 4 o’clock, Tuesday afternoon, July 4th, Albert R. Anderson, while fishing in Spearfish canyon near Iron Creek, probably suffered a stroke of apoplexy, which produced instant death. Mr. Anderson, accompanied by H. P. Ulrich of Chicago, only a few minutes before had left the Moffitt cabin in the canyon and walked down the railroad track intending to commence fishing near Iron creek. About the point where his body was found he and Mr. Ulrich temporarily parted company, Mr. Ulrich proceeding down the creek a short distance, where he was to wait for Mr. Anderson to join him and eat lunch. As the latter, however, did not appear as soon as he was expected, Mr. Ulrich again proceeded upstream to rejoin him and found his fishing rod floating in the stream. A moment afterwards he was horrified to see the body of his companion lying in the water with its head toward the east bank and the feet extending out toward the middle of the stream. On reaching the body the conclusion Mr. Anderson was dead was inevitable. Mr. Anderson was a large and heavy man and it was impossible for Mr. Ulrich alone to take the body from the creek. He therefore hurried back to the Moffitt camp for assistance and upon procuring it returned to the scene of the tragedy. The last train from Deadwood to Spearfish was approaching the point where the body lay just as it was reached for the second time by Mr. Ulrich and his companions, including Mr. Anderson’s sister, Mrs. T. W. Moffitt and her daughter. The train was flagged and the train crew immediately gave every assistance in their power, plunging into the creek in their uniforms and helping to carry the body to the train. Upon the theory that death was from drowning, everything possible to restore animation when suspended from such cause was undertaken, but without avail. When Spearfish was reached, Dr. Hare, to whom a telephone message had been sent, was at the depot and continued the first aid efforts which had never ceased from the time the body had been placed on the train. Meanwhile, through the Burlington dispatcher’s office, which had been reached by telephone from Maurice station, Dr. Koenigsberger and several personal friends of the family had been notified and summoned. They procured a pulmotor and started for Spearfish, Mr. W. E. Adams, who drove them over in his car, making the drive in about twenty-five minutes.
(*Note: A pulmotor is an apparatus for producing artificial respiration by pumping oxygen and/or air into and out of the lungs, as of a person who has been asphyxiated by drowning, breathing poisonous gases, etc.)
Although the doctors were morally certain that death had not resulted from drowning and that there was no animation in the body, the pulmotor was employed, but absolutely without avail.
At the time of his death, Albert Anderson was a few months over 27 years of age, having been born at Hot Springs, South Dakota. His father was the late Major Anderson, who died twelve or fifteen years ago. In the fall of 1914, his mother was married again to Charles W. Tabor, of Los Angeles, Cal. Mr. and Mrs. Tabor will arrive in Deadwood on Saturday in time for the funeral, which will be held Sunday, interment to be in Mount Moriah.
Besides his mother and sister, Mrs. T. W. Moffitt of this city, Mr. Anderson is survived by a brother, Walter, who is engaged in the practice of law in Lincoln, Neb., and who, with his wife, will also probably arrive in Deadwood on Saturday. Albert, who had spent all of his life in the Black Hills, a greater part of it at Hot Springs and Deadwood, had a wide circle of friends with all of whom he was most popular. Possessed of unusual musical talents and a most attractive personality, he was always the life of every party of which he happened to be one.
Recently he entered the employ of the western Electric company of Minneapolis, Minn., and had had assigned him the state of Montana as his field of operations for his employer. His headquarters were to be at Great Falls, and on his way there, for which place he stopped in Deadwood to spend the Fourth of July with his sister. The tragedy has had a depressing influence, not only upon his relatives, who have the sympathy of the entire community, but also upon the many friends who held him dearly and will miss him sorely.
