FORMER WEISER CITIZEN KILLED BY FALLING HORSE
 
Was Just Leaving Neighbor's Ranch Where He Had Been to See About Getting 
Threshing Done
 
Wesley Long, for ten years a resident of Weiser, died Saturday evening just 
after being brought here from Thousand Springs valley where he had been 
fatally injured late Friday afternoon by being thrown from a horse.  Long 
moved from here to Midvale about a year ago but had a farm in Thousand Springs 
valley and had been there to see about some work.  He had gone on horseback to 
the Brady ranch about three miles from his place to find out when he could get 
a threshing crew.  Leaving there he had gone only a short distance when his 
horse stumbled and fell.  Long evidently struck on his head and was badly 
trampled by the horse as the animal was struggling to get up.  People at the 
ranch went to his assistance at once and it was seen that his injuries were 
serious.  He was taken back to Brady's and a doctor called but there was 
little to be done and on Saturday it was decided to bring him to the home of 
one of his daughters, Mrs. Anderson, who lives on East Court street, Weiser. 
Death came just after arrival here.
 
Funeral services were held at the Methodist Episcopal church Tuesday forenoon 
in charge of Rev. A. T. Hemphill of the Presbyterian church and the interment 
was in Weiser cemetery.
 
The deceased was born in Indiana in 1851 and was a few months over 64 years of 
age.  He was married at Broken Bow, Nebraska, December 25, 1872, to Miss Laura 
Gates, the wife who survives him.  Eight children are living, Mrs. Rose 
Anderson, Weiser; A. C. Long, Emporia, Kansas; Mrs. Wm Lolcama, Eastonville, 
Colorado; Mrs. Ralph Wallace, La Grande, Oregon; Mrs. Chester Orcutt, Thousand 
Springs; Mrs. Maud Reese, Weiser; and two sons, Edward and Frank who made 
their home with their parents.  A daughter, Mabel died in 1907 and a son John, 
was drowned at Winona, Kas. only a couple of months ago.
