Tragic Death.

death of Captain Paul Mitchell,
of Warm Springs, Montana, who
was accidently killed by the over
turning of a stage coach on the
Salmon River, in Idaho, on Sept.
21st.
| The following account of the
accident was given to the Ana
conda (Montana) Standard by w.
j. Porter, who was pinned under
the coach with Capt. Mitchell:
''The accident happened about
% miles from Salmon City, on the
| the main channel of the Salmon
River, about a mile from the ranch
of Charley Rose, on the road to
Shoup. At this point the road has
a very narrow grade, leaving
about four-inch margin for the
outside wheel. w. D. Mitchell
was driving at the time, and was
using every precaution to hold the
coach to the bank. Sitting on the
seat with Will Mitchell were Bert
Stevens and a guide whom we
had picked up at a small place
called Noble, by the name of Joe
Allen. On the inside of the coach
were Captain J. P. Mitchell and
Abney D. Scanland, a brother of
DR.. John M. Scanland, of Warm
Springs, and was on top OF the
hurricane deck.
GAS we were passing over this
narrow road, all of a sudden the
coach dropped, without the least
warning, and rolled over three
times. The two men on the front
seat jumped, leaving the driver
by himself. The coach overturn-
ed. Paul was left alone in the
coach, Mr.. Scanland having
jumped. On the third revolution
the coach came to standstiIl
about six feet from the river bank,
and Paul Mitchell and myself
were underneath. Will Mitchell
was thrown into the Salmon River,
a distance possibly of 40 feet, and
swan to shore. Having heard our
cry to cut the horses from the
coach, he managed to get three of
them loose from the coach, one
still remaining tangled in such a
way that it was impossible to cut
him loose.
T" Paul Mitchell and myself at
the time were merely pinned by
the weight of the coach, and Paul
was giving instructions as to the
best way to lift the weight from
us. Will was still trying to release
the fourth horse, and it started
the coach on the slide rock, re-
leasing myself and pressing the
life out of Paul. By this time help
arrived, and the body was soon
taken from underneath.
Capt. Paul Mitchell, who was a
brother Of Mrs. J. M. Scanland,
was born and raised in Deer
Lodge, Montana, and was about
80 years of age. He attended a
military school at Louisville, KY,
where he graduated as civil en-
gineer. At the military school he
advanced to the rank of Captain.
His father, DR.. Armistead Hughes
Mitchell, was born near Louis
vile, KY. He served in the Mex
lean war under Col. Humphrey
Marshall in a Kentucky regiment.
In 1858 he was elected on the
Democratic ticket and served in
the Legislature of Montana con-
tinuously for thirteen years.
Capt. Paul Mitchell was one OF
Montana's best and most useful
citizens, true to his concepts of
right and duty as the needle to
the pole. The old Kentucky
knightly character found its high
est Establishment in him. He will
be missed and mourned by those
who knew and loved him, and
who are destined ere lono tn fol.
