pie street a few minutes later. thnt III
friends have been able TO secure. lt Is
believed that he waited few moments
for the car and then started TO run FOL
the station. That he missed the train
wns evident from the fact that he fcl
ten minutes after the train had left toI
ogden. 1t is believed that he hurried
as rapidly as possible to the station and
then finding he had missed the train
started TO walk back up town. The ex-
crtion In trying to catch the train ProDa,.
bly, caused the severe strain on his heart
that occasioned his death.
