Daily Appeal - Wed 6/28/1905, p1&4 - Charles Johnson Killed Yesterday - Collapse of Bridge Precipitates Men, Freight Wagons and Horses Into Deep Creek - A fatal accident occurred yesterday afternoon but a short distance from Camptonville, when the bridge over Willow Creek collapsed as a large freight wagon was crossing it, precipitating the entire outfit to the bed of the creek, killing Charles Kelsey Johnson and injuring Oscar Stroud, Tom Housh and A. C. Townsend. All of the injured men are doing well and will recover. Johnson was killed almost instantly. An inquest was held last evening, and the jury returned a verdict declaring death to have been entirely accidental and finding no one to blame for Johnson's death. - The team and wagons belonged to Simon Yore, who is doing a large amount of freighting in the mountains, and all of the men were employed by him. Stroud was driving the twelve-horse team and was sitting on the seat of the front wagon while the others were riding on the second wagon. The weight of the wagons and load probably amount to at least ten tons besides the weight of the horses. - The team was slowly wending its way along the road near the Ramm place and reached the bridge over Willow Creek at about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. - It was thought that the bridge was perfectly safe as heavy teams have been going over it for some time, and the heavy loaded wagons were driven upon the structure and reached about the middle when the bridge suddenly began to sink and in another moment both wagons with the men and horses were in the bottom of the creek. The entire bridge dropped down for a distance of twenty-five feet. It is thought that Johnson attempted to jump, and in so doing landed on the bridge under the heavy wagon for as soon as Stroud, Housh and Townsend picked themselves up after the catastrophe they found Johnson's remains pinned in between the timbers of the bridge, and the trucks of the wagon. Although injured themselves they went to work to get the body from its position in hopes that he was only unconscious and could be restored, but when they had dragged the mangled body from between the timbers and the trucks they saw that life was extinct. - Word was at once sent to Camptonville, and as many as possible hastened to the scene to render aid. Word of the accident was telephoned to this city, and from the first news it was feared that the lives of the other members of the party were in danger, but later reports conveyed the news that they were resting easily. Coroner Kelly was notified of the death, and he instructed Justice of the Peace Houtaling to conduct the inquest. - There is some water in Willow creek, but not enough to cause danger of drowning to any of the party. When the wagons went down some of the twelve horses were dragged back over the embankment on top of the wagons, and those animals which were on the bridge when the accident occurred, and one of the most remarkable features of the case is that no horses were killed, although all of them were more or less scratched up. The bridge is about sixty feet long, and the banks on either side are straight down, so that there was nothing to prevent the entire bridge from falling. - The bridge was on a private road which has been used by the public for many years, and not under the supervision of the Board of Supervisors. The repairs on the bridge were also done by private parties, so those who traveled over the road did so at their own risk. - All of the men who escaped consider that it was almost a miracle. Stroud had one bone in his right arm broken and suffered several mean gashes about the head. Housh received some bodily injuries, but none which seem dangerous. Townsend was scratched up considerably. At a late hour last evening all of the patients were resting easily and doing as well as could be expected. - The inquest over the remains of Johnson was held last evening, the following men acting on the jury: W. B. Meek, foreman; L. A. Steward, W. Hoff, D. C. Campton, S. J. Fraser, Thomas Roache, G. W. Kendall, Dan Lawless and C. Peterson. - The following verdict was rendered: "We, the undersigned jury, served to appear and make a report as to the death of one Mr. Charles Johnson, hereby rendered the following verdict: "That the death of the said Charles Johnson resulted by the breaking of that certain bridge, situated near Camptonville, and that the said Charles Johnson was riding on the back section of the team driven by one Oscar Stroud; that in crossing said bridge, it gave way, and said Charles Johnson was found pinned between the timbers of the bridge and the wagon, as above described. And we further find that death was purely accidental, and we find no one to blame for the death of the said Charles Johnson." - Charlie Johnson was born and raised at Dobbins Ranch, and was 51 years of age. He was an honest, hard working man, and has worked steadily along the Yuba River on flumes and in saw mills for the Browns Valley Irrigation District, the Bay Counties Power Company and the Yuba Development Company for many years. He was unmarried, and leaves a sister, Mrs. Royat, at Dobbins. - Oscar Stroud is also a native of Yuba county, and was raised around the Oregon House neighborhood, and has driven the teams of Simon Yore hauling freight to Downieville for many years. Stroud is an upright, gentlemanly, hard working man, about 48 years of age, and his many friends earnestly hope that he will recover from his injuries. - Tom Housh was also raised at the Oregon House, and it is said that his injuries are slight. He is married and has a large family, and has been with the Yore teams off and on for several years, generally acting as brake-tender for the trucks. He is also a hard working man, and is to be congratulated that he got out with slight injuries. - Dave Yore, who had just crossed the bridge with his team, had a contract to do the logging and hauling for the Bay Counties Power Company at their saw mill at Slate Range, which is about to start up for the summer, and undoubtedly was moving in with supplies when the accident occurred.

Daily Appeal - 11/13/1903, p1 - Nels Johnson Killed - Found Dead in the Road Under His Overturned Wagon - Yuba City, Nov. 13 - Nels Johnson, a well-known farmer of this county was killed Wednesday night as the result of the overturning of his wagon. - Mr. Johnson was last seen alive at about 10:45 that evening in Marysville. He was then starting for his home at the old S. E. Wilson place, driving a team of spirited black horses attached to a spring wagon laden with provisions. - Shortly before 7 o'clock yesterday morning two men going to work on the levee found the wagon upset in the county road near Shanghai Bend, and Mr. Johnson's body underneath, cold and stiff in death. The horses were standing quietly by. The men, whose names are J. F. Hinman and James McDonald, removed the seat of the wagon from Mr. Johnson's body and discovered that life was extinct. Word was immediately sent to Yuba City. Sheriff Wilson arrived first and took charge of the horses, and Coroner B. W. Rowe arrived soon after. A gold watch and $85 in gold were found on the body. News of the accident was telephoned to Tudor, and thence carried to Mr. Johnson's home. - The place where the accident occurred was almost at the extreme south end of the roads leading along the levee. There are three roads here. The one on which Mr. Johnson had been driving was the "bench" or middle road. In the dark the horses got off the road and the wagon was overset. Examination of the road reveals the fact that some 300 feet north of the place where the wagon turned over the right wheels went off the grade, and from that place on the wagon was in a precarious situation. - The following jury was summoned and a Coroner's inquest was held: A. G. Woodworth, foreman, C. A. Duncan, H. C. Stohlman, Marion Gray, John F. Peters, J. C. Phipps, R. Armstrong, C. W. Burch and W. R. Carpenter. Testimony was heard, substantially in accord with the account of the accident given above, and a verdict was rendered that the deceased came to his death by the accidental upsetting of his wagon. Whether death was directly caused by the fall or Mr. Johnson was rendered unconscious and died from exposure, is not clear. - The deceased was a native of Sweden and 35 years old. During his residence here he was held in high esteem by his neighbors. He was unmarried and his sister, Miss Nellie Johnson, a former resident of Marysville, was his housekeeper. On learning of her brother's death, Miss Johnson became seriously ill. A brother, James Johnson, resides near Lomo. It was stated yesterday that the remains would be embalmed and sent East where the deceased had relatives. Mr. Johnson was insured with the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company for $5000. - Drs. T. P. Peery and David Powell made an autopsy last night at the undertaking parlors of R. E. Bevan to ascertain the causes leading to his death. - They found that the primary cause was that of having been thrown from his wagon, and the secondary cause of death a rupture of the liver, caused by the fall.
