Accident in Colorado - Left on the
Roadside While His Wife Went fol
Help-A Popular Man Gone.
F. c. Hutchinson, cashier of the ALLIE
gheny National Bank, died yesterday al
Colorado Springs from the result of in.
iuries received in runaway at that place
on the 18th.
Mr.. Hutchinson was born in July, 1854,
and is 81 years of age. He entered the
Allegheny National Bank as messenger in
1871. Robert Mackey was then Vice Presi-
dent and Wilson p. McCandless cashier.
By close attention to business he gradually
rose to the position of cashier. He was noted
for his accuracy in figures and good judg-
ment in fnanci al matters. Mr.. Hutchinson
was well known throughout business circles
of the city.
During the past year or two he had suf-
fered from that dread disease consumption,
and in hopes of being relieved had gone to
Colorado and was progressing nicely when
the unfortunate accident occurred.
William Montgomery, assistant cashier of
the bank, received letter with the full de-
tails of the accident. It seems that Mr.
Hutchinson, with his wife and two children,
started out for drive, taking a horse that
was considered safe and that he had driven
before at place called Glen Eyrie The
animal frightened at something and
ran away, Mr.. Hutchinson being too
weak to control him. The phaeton struck
a stone and upset, throwing the entire party
out. Mrs HutchinsoD~immediately regained
her feet and found Mr.. Hutchinson and her
daughter lying unconscious. The baby was
unhurt. Mrs. Hutchinson was obliged to
leave them while she went quite distance
for assistance. She finally succeeded in get
ting man to take Mr.. Hutchinson to the
town in buggy, while she followed with
the rest of the family on foot. The man
forgot the address given him and drove
about a mile out of the way
The people were coming out of church
when he got there, and he stopped
and had number of them examine him to
see if they knew who he was. Finally they
looked in his pockets and found an envelope
containg his address.
The accident was especially unfortunate,
occurring at time when he seemed to be
getting along so well. The injuries con-
sisted of severe fracture of the skull at the
same place in which it was fractured in a
railroad accident about nine years ago The
attending physicians removed several pieces

piece. 1t is not known at this writing what
arrangements have been made for burial,
but the body will be brought on at once,
and notice of the funeral announced later
A telegram from Colorado Springs late
last night stated that three davs ago Mr..
Hutchinson suffered relapse on account of
his diseased lungs, and since then his death
had been expected hourly. He died peace
fully and without pain. The physician
pronounced heart failure the immediate
cause. Prior to the fatal accident Mr..
Hutchinson had made rapid and permanent
recovery from the lung trouble from which
he had sought relief in that climate, but he
had not gained sufficient strength to with
stand so severe a shock. His little daugh-
ter Amy has almost recovered from the Sc
we're bruises she received in the accident.
Mrs. Hutchinson has exhibited rare forti-
tude in her bereavement The brother of
the deceased and his widow and children
will start for home this evening with the
remains.
