FALLS FROM WAGON AND IS SERIOUSLY INJURED
           ____________________
After Long Ride Through Stormy Weather, Finally Reaches Twin Falls and 
Succumbs To Internal Hemorrage Despite Medical Aid.
            _____________________________
 Garrett E. Houston died at the Twin Falls hospital at 12 o'clock Sunday night 
from injuries received in an accident on the road between Buhl and Wendell and 
after much extreme suffering and exposure to wet cold weather following the 
catastrophy of which he was an unfortunate victim. He had charge of a team 
hauling a load of lumber for R. H. Trail of Wendell. While decending  a steep 
hill Houston was precipitated from the vehicle and it ran over him inflicting 
internal injuries, as well as breaking his left arm and cutting his head and 
ankle. He was accompanied on the wagon by two fellow workers, who likewise 
were thrown from their seats, but fortunately not injured. They brought 
Houston to Buhl and then to this city. Here everything was done that  
physicians possibly could do, to aid him, but surgical efforts were unavailing 
and he succumbed to internal hemorrhages.
 The funeral was held Tuesday from H. E. Hunt & Company's parlors at 2;30 
o'clock, Rev. H. W. Parker of the Methodist church officiating. Interment was 
at the Twin Falls cemetery.
 Outside of the fact that Houston came from Chicago about eighteen months ago 
and located on the North Side Tract very little could be learned of his 
previouse history. He was known locally, however, as a hard working energetic 
man. He was about 40 years of age.
