At the time that Mir. Gilmore met death, his wife was pack ing the household goods, preparatory to removing to Smithton, which is about one mile from Gurdon.
 News of Mir. Gilmore's death was first received here in telephone mess age from John A. Davis, president of the Clark County Lumber company, to Deputy Circuit Clerk Sam F. Vaulx, a friend of the deceased and of MT. Davis. The message stated that MT. Gilmore had been found badly mangled on the lower floor of the mill, and that he died in about 20 minutes.
