Matt Dillcy, aged 80, a farmer re-
siding nine miles northeast of Plaza,
ran off new grade a mile west of
Minot on the Burlington road and his
life was crushed out. The accident
happened about / o'clock Wednesday
night and Frank Cox, coming from,
Burlington, discovered the mans body.
The car was lying at the bottom Of the
grade, four feet below, and was upside
down, with the mans body pinned to
rhe ground by the edge Of the car.
No bones were broken, but his body
had been crashed. Dr. X. w. Pence,
The coroner. and Chief Of Police Nc.
Donald drove out to the scene and had
the body taken TO Rowan's undcrtak-
ing establishment. DR.. Pence declar-
ed that this was purely an accident
and will hold no inquest. He said that
death may not have been instantan-
nous.
Mr.. Dillcy had spent the day in Mi
not and left town, presumably to go
20 Plaza or Tagus. He was maccoln-
panied.
|. M. Diley, Of Tagus, uncle Of the
deceased, and his fatherin-law. II. c.
Farri, Of Tagus, arrived today and
made arrangements to have the body
shipped to Tagus Friday. The deceas-
ed is survived by his wife and three
children.
The accident occurred at practical
" the same place where o. B. Spires
of Burlington met death when his car
went off the grade. The road was
slippery and it is presumed that this
was the cause of the car going of the
grade. Dilley had proved up a home
