greet to have to announce that one of our
oldest and most respected cities, Col. +.
Lane, met with an accident which re-
suited in his receiving fatal injuries and
suffering consequent death. 1t appears
that he was employed by the Clark Bros.
to drive their delivery wagon, and in the
course of his duties, mad hitched up the
team to proceed on the business. In
backing out from the shed, the pole of
the wagon came in contact with a post
of the shed, causing the pole to break
and fall between the horses; they i'm
mediately commenced to run, and pro-
ceeded down Main street. They did not
go further than the blacksmith-shop Of
Hughes & Ewing, before they came in
collision with wagon on one side and
log on the other; the force of the con-
tact upset the wagon, throwing out the
Colonel with such force that when he
was picked up he was insensible. He
was Immediately carried to A. Browns
saloon and DR.. Philson was called to at
tend him, after which he was carried to
Mrs. Grambs' clearinghouse. The
Doctor stated that he did not like the
symptoms and feared that the patient
was suffering from conclusion of the
brain, as well as compound fracture of
the bones of the wrist The injured
man never rallied, and at noon expired
without ever having become conscious.

by DR.. Philson and Lee, showed that the
cause of death was a rupture of the
blood-vessels of the brain, caused by the

of the skull. The body of the deceased
was afterwards removed to the Masonic
Hall, of which fraternity he in life was
an active and respected member.
