Mr Gaster had been in the employ of the Road Engineer's department i of the county as foreman of bridge construction for some years and was i an honorable, faithful and efficient jiman. He was about fifty years of 51 age and leaves a wife and a large I family of daughters. Mr Gaster's i home is at Johnsonville, where he j owns a small farm. He expected ,' soon to give up his position with the . county and return to his farm. . i As far as we can learn, the untimely death of Mr Gaster came , about in this way: The bridge force was engaged in building a bridge in , Clapp swamp and had cut a large cypress tree, which lodged against a gum-tree; the gum was cut and both ' trees swung down with tremendous force, striking a small poplar in 1 their way. The poplar, being brittle, broke into several pieces, which ! were hurled with immense force in ' the direction of Mr Gaster, who was ; standing with Road Engineer Eaddy, " as thev thought, at a safe distance 1 from the falling trees. A portion of the poplar struck Mr Gaster ' squarely on his head causing a com pound fracture. He died instantly. ! His remains were taken by wag" on to his home at Johnsonville, yesterday afternoon.
