Red Cliff, Coio., March 8.—-A dis- tressing accident which will proba- ably prove fatal occurr-d four miles frou this place about noon yester- day at a point on the Butte Moun tain road called “Hole in the Rock.” The victim was Pierce Crane, an old time ranchman, wealthy aud highly respected, residing near Minturn, in this county. He was riding ona bronco and got too near the edge of the cliff. His horse slipped and be fore he could save himself both ani- mal and rider went over the preci+ pice. The pony landed forty feet below where it was found dead. The man continued his terrible de- scent 2,000 feet to the Rio Grande railroad track which runs along th» bottom of the canyon where he was found half an hour after the acci dent in an unconscious condition. An examination disclosed that Mr. Crane is terribly bruised about the head and body, several cuts elso ap- pearing, but most miraculously not a bone in his body except possibly the bridge of his nose which was found to be broken. _How a human being could fall a distance of 2,000 feet, even down an ordinary incline, and escape death is what is puzzling the medical fraternity. Internal in juries may exist which may prove fatal. It is reliably reported that our townsmap, David Miller, concieved the idea a short time ago that inas- much as he was getting along in years, and not feeling so spry as in former years, he ought to have an increase in his already liberal $12 per month pension, and accordingly repaired to pension agent Stine baugh who made out the required be out this evening. document. It had also occurred to David to take out a life insurance | policy showing him to be an ‘able i} eset A GHASTLY TRANSACTION. A Man to Be Hanged today Sells 156 Pounds $12.48. St. Louis Republic.
