COUEY'S DEATH,
Is Not Believed to Have Come
From a Kick,
But to Have Reen Caused by a
Fall, Which Broke His Neck.

About noon to-day, Alfred COuey,
aged about 40, residing on Petiis
street, between Usage and Ohio
avenues, was engaged in feeding his
team in the stable. His as isrant was
up in the loft throwing down hay,
when he heard a heavy blow On the
lower floor. He fastened down the
ladder and found his employer, Couey
lying on his face behind one of the
mules. which he had just put into the
stable for their dinner. The man was
UNCONSCIOUS, and the employe called
Joseph Shsckelfor1 to his assistance.
They carr ed Alfred iuto the house
and seat FOR DIR. Hunlock. This ply
stefan came and made an examination,
after which he pronounced Mr.. Couey
dead. He had been kicked in the
bsck by the animal, and never knew
what bur: bin.
Tue deceased was team,ter by Oc-
cupation and leaves a wife and three
children. His parents reside near
Dresden on q farm. A brother En-
gene is in the employ of the Pacific
express company, Sedalia, and an
other Rudolph, is in the express bust
ness at Kansas City. The parents
and brother have been notified of the
sad occurrence.
Coroner OverStreet went over to
see the deceased man this afternoon
and concluded there was no need of
an inquest.
Ii is proper to state that since the
main portion ABOVE of this article was
put into type. DR.. HunlOcS was seen
aud this gent eman says that he made
no examination of Couay. He saw
he was dead, and not being coroner.
or having authority so to do. made no
examination into the cause of death.
The BAzoo u sterday on the strength
of informa'iIn from parties. who We're
on the scene shortly after the sudden
death of A. ID. Couey. the ieamster,
who resided with his family on Pettis
street, between Usage and Ohio, told
that the deceased had come to his end
through the kick of a mule. This
was incorrect as later Developments
in the matter prove. The coroner
went over yesterday afternoon and
made a cursOry examination and de-
cided that it was not necessary to in
quire Into the manner of the mans
sudden taking of.
Undertaken Ramsey was sent for TO
prepare the body for burial, and in |
his work, he had and took the oppor-
tunity TO make careful examination
Of Couey's head and body. He found
that there WAS no mark of kick on
Couey. He discovered in the back of
his head, an inch or two to the side of
The right ear, a small bump or
oruise, about as big rs the end of a
pencil, which be probed, and a Ii tie
blood oozed out. This was the only
wound pereep,ible on the entire body
II the man.
The belief now is that Couey, who |
5 large, solid man. weighing about
80 pounds, while hanging up. or
aking down harness from a peg in ,
ne stable wall, made a misstep or a
tumble and fell back toward the rear
{ the stall. where the mule was stand.
ng, and struck his head against the
tudding which supported the planks
{ the stall. breaking his neck. The
mark observed by Mr.. Ramsey on
ne back of the head, was evidently
aused by the eud of a nail which
ad been driven through the studding,
nd projected very little of its
,ngth.

Sedalia was the capital of the state
and had 100, 900 citizens.
Three cheers, at the instance of the
mayor, were given for Judge Metsker,
and the electrict railway system.
Hon. Henry Lamm was introduced.
He said that in the spring. when the
ice is gone, when birds sing, when
grass grows green, men feel like in
augurating new enterprises. In the
spring, be quoted, the young mans
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
love, so, 10 the spring, the business
man starts new ventures. and a city
Inaugurates new enterprises. He
looked On this railway as a wonderful
thing. A year ago. Sedalia was in
The dumps. This Spring she feels
immeAsurably better. This was not
and ol1-time invasion from Kans is,
nor one from Missouri into Kan
sas. 1t was a different kind,
a good and benefi fetal in
vasion. A good citizen had come
iutn Missouri and We wanted more of
him and want him TO bring his uncles
and his cousins and his aunts, espec-
ially his aunts. Laughter.
The speaker then told how u"tir-
ipgly the Commercial club had W, rked
for this enterpr So, how the city coun-
cil had nobly re ponded, and how
well the may,r had seconded
their efforts seeking only and all the
time the welfare of Sedalia. -ea
Csc. w. Barnett, ESQ.,, spoke next.
He began with little humorous in
terchange of by.play with Mr.. Lamm,
saying that his and Lamm's speeches
were not as good as Judge Metsker's,
! for they were not backed with money,
like his is. Like every good citizen,
he would give his sympa-
thy to the street railway. Sedalia had
gone through hard times, strikes, etc,
but had recovered from them, and
he hailed this railway as the dawn of
a new era of prosperity for the city.
Every man that puts a dollar into
Sedalia, ought to make it pay, and
the people ought Ito help such inves.
tors. The road, he said, would be
a benefit to all classes, both rich and
poor, and he congratulated the citi-
zens that Judge Metsker and his as
sociates had begun the work they had.
Judge w. b. Shirk was the clio ing
speaker. Hequoted Bishop Berkley's
line.
Westward the star of empire takes its way
and said this was being realized to-
day. He had travelled recently from
the Atlantic TO the west, and he had
seen no better lighted city than Soda.
liza. To-day, We make another step
In advance. This is one of the one
hundred poles put down to-day and
Judge Metsker is here for no
boys play. He means business.
He told of the wonderful
thinsS accomplished 10y electricity,
and informed the people there assem-
bled that Judge Metsker and his as
;ociates bad to-day secured the Third
street line as their property. The
Judge may have been criticised fer
being cold and distant. That was
lis way He was all for business. If you
allied upon him, YOU would find his
atch string always on the outside.
He closed by extending congratula-
ions to Judge Metsker and felicitat-
nc the people of Sedalia on the in
of the enterprise.
