Former Portland Man Killed
George L. Garrigeus Is Struck By A Street Car in Denver

Denver,Colo., Oct.20-(Special)- George L.Garrigeus, formerly an official of
the Pullman Company at Portland, and who came here a year ago as an
assistant superintendent of the same company, was run over and fatally
injured by a trolly car late tonight, dying in a half hour. He had left his
work at the Union Depot, and was walking down Fifteenth street, deep in
thought, and evidently did not hear the approaching car.

The motorman, William M. Heplander, saw Mr.Garrigeus, but did not attempt
to stop the car unitl he was almost upon the man. He says he rang his gong,
turned on the air and dropped the fender. Mr. Garrigeus was lifted from the
ground and hurled violently to the street. His skull was crushed terribly,
and he was internally injured. Mr.Garrigeus entered the railroad service
when a mere boy. He had served as stenographer to the vice president's
office in Chicago, and had been superintendent of a division.
