LAS VEGAS AGE

ACCIDENTAL DEATH

CONDUCTOR WALTER KING LOSES LIFE BY MIS-STEP

    A very sad accident occurred on the Salt Lake road near Moapa on
Saturday, which has left one home desolate and a host of sorrowing
friends.  Walter E. KING, a conductor, was returning to his wife and son
in Vegas, after having been detained for some little time at the
construction camp.  In some unaccountable manner he fell under the train
and was almost instantly killed.  The body was brought to Vegas and an
inquest was held on Sunday morning.  The Elks took charge of the funeral
which was held on Sunday afternoon.  The body was shipped to Los Angeles
where it was laid to rest on Tuesday in Inglewood cemetery.  The
deceased was just in the prime of life and was much respected.  He
leaves a wife and little son, a mother and brother to whom the sympathy
of this community is extended.  Mrs. SILK accompanied Mrs. King to Los
Angeles.
