A TRAGIC DEATH- .*

Charles Allen Hurled to Instant Death

Another Valley Fatalit/.

Charles Allen has lately been ruuning the ''narrow gage" or "jag hack,'' a free cab to the "Last Chance" saloon, owned by his brother Steve, iu the Valley. This hack only made night trips, and the horses were given a rest through tho day. For several weeks it has mado tho trips without any incidents of note, savo good loads of jags. But it ,vas doomod as tho horrible accident of Monday night clearly demonstrates. It seems as though Charley had brought a load to tho city and was returning with another one, to the Valley, where he encountered a vehicle between the Sperry bridge and tho foot of tho Spring street hill, coming from the opposite direction. The driver of tho approaching vehicle called' to Charley to pull out and ho did so, but got too far over to the east side of tho road wnore the entire outlit rolled over the ten foot embankment. There woro two persons with tho cab besides the driver, Bruce Carson occupying a place on the seat with the driver and a maa named Smith upon the inside. Both Carson and Smith escaped uninjured, but poor Allen was not so fortunate. He was pulled from under one of his horses a corpse. Dr, Ensininger was sent for, but of no use, as the man had been killed instantly. I-Iis face and shoulders were badly cut and bruised and his neck broken. Coroner Bronaugh was dispatched for and arrived about 4 o'clock Tuesday morning, and'ftfter investigating the surroundings, the remains were taken to the home of Dr. G. W. B^netiel and prepared for burial, the funeral taking place from there at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. G. P. Fu6on, of tho Baptist church. Allen loaves a wife and one little girl. There aro many theories as to jii-t how tho terrible accident happened. At first reports came that ho was intoxicated, but tho passengers with him at the time deny that. Tho •nost plausible theory is that he could not see exactly whero he was going on account of tho electric lights in the Valley, for going from the light in tho first valley, it is impossible to seo an approaching team or anything else, and it was likoly that ho drove over the bank in that manner. It is now protty definitely settled that a big damage suit will be brought against the city on behalf of Allen's little daughter, and the city may be compelled to pay heavily for it. At the place where tho accident happened there should have been a fence or guard along the ditch, but there is none, and after several damago suits have been brought against the city, it may be tixed as it should.

That is, the meals sot before Francis Sharpe, a son of tuffluck, whom Trusteo llartman gave a free ticket to the Long House, better known as the county asylum, on Monday. The beef soup should have been fish, tho bread—biscuits, and the coffee—coco. There waB no lemon sherbet or carmel cake, 60 Fratikie, old boy. became temporarily disgusted, and drawing his feet from under the table, tteered himself into his dream bunk, touched a match to tho worthless shobang aud then made himself scarce about tho premises, Supt. Long soon discovered the smoke and extinguished the fire in good time. The gentleman of touching qualities was found making his meal off a bushel of oats end some bailed hay at one of the feed stores Tuesday morning, and was promptly given a wide berth in tho Sheriff Davis merry-go-round. Ho will probably bo given a tio ticket and ono hour to ship his presence from among Ub Some pooplo never know when they get enough and cases like this they should be severely, punished.
