FROM SUDDEN
DEATH, OH LORD,
DELIVER US
Life of George H. Cross, Newspaper Man and Well
Known Citizen, Ended by Terrible Accident
Late Saturday NIGHT.
ACCIDENTALLY FELL INTO
EASEMENT OF CATRON BLOCK
---CONCUSSION OF BRAIN

| This community was shocked early
Sunday morning by the horrible news
that George Fl. Cross, a we'll known
citizen Of Santa Fe, met sudden death
at the entrance to the basement of the
Catron Block on the east side of the
Plaza Saturday night about 1O:3t
O'Clock. Death occurred two hours af-
ter he was found He was unconscious
when picked up and the exact manner
In which the accident occurred can
only be surmised.
He was found by Frank B. Ford
night watchman, who lives in a room
in the basement of the building. Ford
states that he went to his room to eat
lunch a few minutes before the acci-
dent occurred and was eating when his
two dogs in the front room began bark
ing furiously. AS they kept it up some
time he concluded there was someone
about the premises and went out to the
front room. He turned the light out
and listened for a moment His ear
ing on the outside; he took dark Ian
tern and went out to investigate. Ford
saw the form of a man lying at the
bottom of the stairs which he recog-
says he first tried to carry the body up
the stairs, and failing in this he sum-
moned aid. The dying man was car
ried out of the basement and taken to
the office of DR.. ]. H. Sloan, where he
expired shortly after midnight without
regaining consciousness. His wife and
youngest daughter had been summon
ed and were with him when the end
came.
When found, the body was lying ut
the bottom of the south steps leading
to the basement. Cross was fiat on his
back and his feet were clear of the
last step. The only marks of violence
on his body was a fracture of the
base of the skull in the back OF his
head which was responsible for his
DEATH The blood was flowing freely
from his left ear. The theory Is that
he seated himself on the railing and
then lost his balance, striking his head
on the iron steps as he fell. The force
of the fall would have carried the body
to the position it occupied when found.
He was clear under the steps leading
into w. H. Goebeps hardware store and
could not have fallen to that position
in any other way than that described
unless he had fallen into the entrance
instead Of over the railing and in that
case there would have been more
bruises produced by the body bumtns
over the iron steps in descending. Mr..
Cross was seen on the Plaza by several
people Just prior to the accident and
was last seen going north on the east
side of the Plaza.
Deceased was born in Brunswick,
Mo-, Al years ago and spent his boy
hood days in that town. He was son
of DR.. Harry Cross who was a member
Of the staff of General Sterling Price 7!
and General Price was an uncle of de- |

the city will build spurs TO tap the

tating the expeditions handling of the
output OF the new enterprise, IS well
as placing it in a position to put the
