H. 6. MOSS, KILLED

The people of Williams were shocked last Monday morning to hear of the death of H. c. Moss who was killed by number nine, near Gallup, New Mexico. Details are lacking, but from what we did learn it seems that MT. Moss, who was conductor on a freight train, got off his train which was waiting at siding to let number nine pass, and in doing so stepped onto the main track. Just then number nine came round curve and struck him before he had time to get ofthe track. MT. Moss was we'll known in Williams where he had large circle of friends. He leaves a wife and family and an aged mother and two brothers to mourn his loss.

Now who is the sneak that lives at Maine or vicinity that did the low down trick. MT.
