MERCHANT OF
GRIZZLY FLAT
Killed by Runaway Team

From our Aukum Correspondent.
Sept. 2.--Joe Lyons, the merchant at
Grizzly Flat, was thrown out of
large spring wagon by runaway
team, and received injuries from
which he died week ago today. Mr.
Lyons, his grandson, l6 years old, and
aIcrippled man by the name of Wran-
gle, we're sitting on the seat, the boy
driving. They had reached near the
bottom of what is known as the Sly
fork grade, when one horse kicked at
the other, and went astTide of the
tongue. One OF the nurses that had
killed old man Baker a few months
ago, who was then Lyons delivery
man, was one of the two. He had run
away four times, twice doing deadly
injury, and twice doing but little.
The horse generally was quite gentle,
being as tame as any work horse
around the country, but when he got
acrazy spell he was viciously mallg-
nant and frantic. The other horse
could have been controlled, but this
one meant business to death. When
they started to run Lyons was sitting
on the side opposite to the brake. He
grabbed the lines out OF the boys
hand and endeavored to hold them.
AS he did so the runaway horse sprang
off his feet and plunged frantically
forward, and with breakneck speed
ran down the grade. Lyons, on the
spur of the moment, tried to bank the
wagon by running on the side OF the
grade. With fearful velocity one OF
the front wheels of the wagon struck
a granite bowlder of several hundred
pounds weight, breaking the softer
she'll of the rock In two and throwing
the core into the center of the road.
When the wagon struck this, the
shock threw Mr. Lyons about sixteen
feet, he striking on his head. he was
rendered unconscious, and he never
regained consciousness up to his
death on Saturday night last. A cash
was cut in his head from his right
temple backward behind his ear,
which took 70 stitches to close up.
Mr. Wrangle had one RIB broken, but
the boy came out unscathed, with the
exception of a few slight bruises.
Mr. Lyons was a federal soldier in
the war of the rebellion. lie was
member of the q. A. K. and was fol-
lowed TO his last resting place at
Smiths flat, near Placervllle, on Mon
day last by the few old soldiers that
were residents of the vicinity.
Mr. Lyons was man of sterling
qualities, and was almost universally
liked. He had been a merchant OF
Grizzly Flat for nearly forty years.
His loss will not only be felt by his
bereaved family but by the many pat
rons he had extended aid to more
than once. Just prior to his death be
had put up a telephone line from
Grizzly to Placerville, and was on a
mission of construction of that prop
erty when he met the fatality on We'd
nesday. He leaves a wife and three
children, two daughters and son, to
mourn his untimely end. May the
angels of peace and love soothe the
sorIowing ones in their awful be-
Ieavement.
