CoRoNER's INQUEST The jury empaneIlod to
enquire into the cause of the death Of tlc late
William G. Gray, Belfast, fagman for the Maine
Central railroad, heldan inquest Thursday evening
at the City Government rooms. The most import
ant witness examined was Mr.. stephen +. Fletcher,
of Stockton, the man who drove his horse to the
crossing which resulted in the death Of Mr.. Cray.
Mr.. Fletcher said in substance, that he had driven
over the road 800 times and was familiar With the
trains. On the fatal day he drove down Bridge
street on his way home and did not the ap-
preaching train norh hear the engine bell whistle
and In fact heard and saw nothing until he was
within twenty feet of the crossing, when he was
stopped by Mr. Gray. the (agman. His horse was
restless and with Mr.. Gray and Eddie Gray hold
ing the horses head and he himself with the reins,
1t was all they could do to hold the animal while
the engine passed After the engine had gone
along and before the cars approached lie wanted
to drive across the track, but Gray would not let
him. Gray said "lIold on, hold on, another train
is coming" When the train came along the horse
was much frightened and dashed headforemost
into the train. Fletcher was partially stunned by
the shock and when he recovered saw Gray lying
bleeding by the track. Edgar w. Gray, brother
of the deceased said that when the engine passed
William let go the horse and walked down toward
the crossing. When the cars came along the horse
Stat him. the witness, away, and jumped as though
he had been struck with whip. He said the
horses head struck his brothers head and dashed
him against the car. Mr.. John +. Woodcock, who
was in the mail car, Mr.. Shaw, the engineer, the
fireman and brakeman all testified. 1t was in
evidence that all the employees of the road were
doing their duty, that the whistle blew and the
bell rang. MIR. Shaw said 1t was from twenty
seconds to a full minute after the engine crossed
Bridge street before the cars passed. Frequently
teams pass over the track between engine and
cars. The jury brought in verdict, in substance,
that the death of Mr.. Gray was accidental, and,
that the employees Of the Maine Central railroad
were exonerated from all blame In the premises

The following taken from the Grand
Junction Nens strikes the psople of
Delta about as well as anything we
have seen lately: again we say; en-
courage home enterprise. If we would
be a place of Importance we must en-
courage those things that build up and
make cities. 1t does not pay to be
narrow mined or small about these
matters. Cities and markets are not
made that way. The larger Grand
Junction shall grow, the better the
market will be for the farm produce
and the natural products of the coun-
try. and hence we say that it is the
duty of every farmer. stock man and
rauchinan to patronize home institu-
tions. Encourage the men who have
energy and capital to settle in the val
ley; We need their money and energies
to develop our resources. What does
1t matter to us If they do make for
tune? We will be glad to see them
make money if they will but come and
develop Onr hidden riches.
