fellow with warm heart" said 7, f.
Cronan, landlord Of the Colorado
house. at the corner of Second South
and Fourth West, when seen this after
noon. Continuing he said that the de-
ceased fireman had boarded at his place
for some time with his cousin, Roy
Linton, who works In the baggage
room at the Rio Grande depot.
One peculiar feature Of the accident
was that Dan Leary one Of the board
ers, had premonition that Frank
Cowell would meet With an accident,
Dan Is an aged Irlshman. endowed with
a broad brOeue and Il broken nose, and
he sleeps out In the hall alongside the
room where the unfortunate fireman
slept. When the call boy came up the
stairs at 1926 this morning and got
Cowell out OF bed TO take out the en-
CINE for the work train, Dan awoke and
u few minutes later Cowell went swing
ing downstairs with all the abandon
associated with health and youth. The
OLD Irishman watched him go and then
went to sleep again. AZ breakfast he
remarked upon the good qualities Of
the young man, and said that It was
pity that such a bright young fellow
was liable TO be brought home at any
time upon a stretcher.
A couple OF hours later word came
to the boarding house that Cowell had
been killed.
Frank CoweI, aside from his cousin
who is heart broken over the accident
Is said TO have no relatives In Utah
His father lives at Grand Junction and
has been notified of the sad affair. His
mother is dead.
