HIS LIFE CRUSHED OUT
A Heavy Fragment Of Failing
Earth Killed David Reed
DIED IN HOMEOPATHIC HOSPITAL

HE WAS ENGAGED IN GRADING
HARRISON STREET BETWEEN
sHALLCROSs AND LOWERING
AVENUES WHEN THE ACCIDENT
OCCURRED.
David Reed. of No. 91S West Fourth
street, died in the Homeopathic Hos
pital about o'clock this morning as
the result of injuries received by the
falling of a part OF bank of earth, un-
der which he was working, at Lowering
avenue and Harrison streets.
Harrison street is being opened from
Lowering to Shallcross avenues, and
the work has made necessary the cut
ting away of about twelve feet of sand
and gravel to bring the street to grade.
Reed, with seven or eight other men,
was at work digging out the earth and
loading it into carts. The earth was
undermined and then toppled over by
means of iron bars.
One of these sections OF earth had
been thrown down, and the work of
loading 1t into carts had begun. The
cart which Reed was to fill had been
backed up and he was leaning over the
tail-board with his back to the bank,
when a fragment became detached
from the top of the cut and fell over
on him, striking him on the back Of the
neck and shoulders The fragment fell
about eight feet before striking the
man. 1t weighed about 300 pounds, and
the momentum of its fall drove Reeds
body down on the tail-board with great
force, smashing the board to pieces and
fatally injuring him by crushing his
neck and body. This was shortly after
8 o'clock.
Mr.. Reeds companions saw the acci-
dent and rushed TO his assistance, re-
moving him from his position. He was
conscious, and, though he complained
of being badly hurt, his injury was not
| thought to be serious, as he was able
to walk to the Homeopathic Hospital,
which is several blocks from the scene
of the accident. When he arrived at
the hospital DR.. Negendank was sum
moned. His examination showed that
the mans injuries were fatal, and he
had Mrs. Reed sent for.
She came Immediately, but her hus-
band died before she reached the hos
pital. The coroner was notified and he
permitted the body to be removed to
the mans home.
Mr.. Reed was about 56 years old, and
was wcil-known on the west side OF the
city.
His death was purely accidental, and
no blame can be attached to anyone.

HIGGINS NOT IN IT.
NOT A CANDIDATE FOR FEDERAL
JUDGE, BUT WILL ENDEAVOR TO
NAME THE MAN.

1t may be stated with every degree of
positiveness that ex-senator Anthony
Higgins is not in any sense a candidate
for the vacancy on the United States
bench caused by the death of Hon.
Leonard E. Wales. He is, however.
determined that no man who is either
directly or indirectly connected with
Addicks, either in politics or business,
shall secure the honor If he can help it.
While William c. Spruance has the
bulk Of the endorsement of the Repub-
lican members of the bar. there are GER
tain outside influences at work against
him which may lead to defeat. In such
an eventuality, it is believed that Ed
ward G. Bradford or Henry C. Conrad
will be named. Friends of Herbert II.
Ward say that his strength is not con-
fined TO the Addicks camp, but regular
Republicans who ought to know some
thing declare that he will not be nomi-
mated by President Mckinley
