KILLED BY KICK
A Terrible Accident Which Results in the Death of C. H. Bade, an Old and Prominent Citizen
On Wednesday noon, the quiet composedness tranquility of our busy little city, was unexpectedly thrown into a state of almost feverish excitement and consternation, as the grievous and terrible intelligence passed from mouth to mouth with startling effect, of the sudden death from injuries received from the kick of a horse, of C. H. Bade, one of our oldest, most widely known and prominent citizens. The intelligence was too starling and terrible to be received at first, excepting with great allowances, and when known to have actually occurred, it seemed even then, too terrible to be possible or to be believe, and how dreadful and shocking must it have been to his wife and family, when they were first made aware of the calamity which had befallen them, and looked upon the dead remains of that loved one who had left them but a few moments before in happiness and health.
It seems that about noon, Mr. Bade, accompanied by L. McGovern and son, of Rhine, who were desirous of purchasing some horses, had gone to the stable to look at the horses, which were lead from the stable by Mr. Bade, and while partly between them, with one – a horse brought in from the country, the day before, rather in advance of the other, the front horse kicked at the other, as it is supposed, striking Mr. Bade a terrible blow upon his breast, crushing in the bones and killing him almost instantly. After receiving the blow, Mr. Bade dropped the halter straps by which he held the horses and passed out of the small enclosure where they were standing, over a pair of bars, where he fell upon his hands and knees, expiring without uttering a single word or exclamation of pain. Assisted by Mr. Schorer, Sen., the McGovern's carried Mr. Bade to his residence, where medical assistance in the persons of Doctors Morehouse and Wirth, was summoned. But nothing could be done, and all efforts at restoration were futile and unavailing. When picked up, his tongue protruded from his mouth and his eyes were rolled back without being closed.
Mr. Bade was of German nationality and was a little past 54 years of age. Coming to this country in '49 he settled at Chicago where he remained, until the fall of '53 when he came to Plymouth, and entered into a partnership with E. M. MacGraw, for the manufacturing of wagons, etc., in which business he was still engaged at the time of his death, having in his employ a large number of workmen. Though years of untiring toil and careful saving Mr. Bade has accumulated a large amount of property, and was perhaps the largest real estate owner in our city. A man of excellent moral principle, a good citizen, one generally esteemed for his rectitude and integrity, his death is no less a calamity to our city than to his sorrowing family.
