A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
William Lucey Run Over by Western
Engine.
The Body Completely ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Was a Soldier-Result of the
Inquest Held Yesterday.

William ]. Lucey, a member of the
Sixteenth Infantry band. was run over
by a Rio Grande Western switch en-
CINE yesterday morning at about 5:45
o'clock near the coal chutes in the
railroad yards and instantly killed, his
body being completely severed through
the abdomen. A coroner's jury. en-
panelled during the afternoon, fully
exoaorated the crew of the engine.
Lucey, who had been on a protrac-
ted spree, was seen early Friday even
ing in the neighborhood of the rail-
road yards He is known to have
passed the night in drinking and hav-
ing general good time, but just how
he came to be lying on the track near
the coal chutes is unknown. Engine
No. 8, with Harry Newcomer at the
. throttle and Thomas Coleman, fire.
man, had just left the round house
and was running down the track near
the chutes. Coleman had his head
out of the cab window watching an
other engine which was on the same
track. 1t was still very dark and he
failed to notice an object lying upon
the track until the foot board of the
engine had nearly reached it, when he
made the horrifying discovery that a
man was almost under the wheels of
the engine. He shouted to Newcomer
to stop and the latter reversed his
machine and stopped it within twenty
feet, but it was too late to save the I'M
fortunate mans life. Jumping down
from the cab the trainmen found Luz
cey's body under the forward wheels
of the tender, severed through the
abdomen. Life was, of course, extinct.
The head was inside of the rail. 1t is
the opinion of the trainmen that the
unfortunate fellow had become intox-
icated to such a degree that when in
his wanderings he encountered the
track he fell forward onto his face
and there went to sleep.
/ Coroner Taylor was notified and soon
/ reached the scene of the accident. He
took immediate charge of the body,
which was removed to Sleeves under
taking establishment. In the after
noon he empanelled a jury, composed
of G. M. Hammond, A. H. Mayne and
w. NJ. Burnes, and held an inquest
/ The facts brought out were identical
with those already set out, the verdict
being to the effect that Lucey came
to his death by being run over by a
Rio Grande Western switch engine
while asleep on the track, under the
/ influence of liquor.
This morning the body will be re-
moved to Fort Douglas, where it will
be buried in the post cemetery.
Lucey was 80 years of age and leaves
wife and two children, the youngest
| but three days old. His mother is al
! SO living.
