MILO SPRAGUE KILLED

    Monday morning at  8 o'clock, Milo SPRAGUE, brakeman on the railroad 
of the Arden Plaster Co., was instantly killed while attending to his 
duties at the quarry four miles from Arden.
    A. E. ANDERSON, the engineer, was pushing the car around the curve 
to spot it. When he stopped the engine the car moves forward a foot or 
two from the engine, the pin having been drawn. SPRAGUE jumped down to 
place a bar under the wheel to block it, but the car did not stop, 
moving back toward the engine.  SPRAGUE was on the inside of the curve, 
and the corner of the car crushed his head against the corner of the 
engine, killing him instantly.
    Coroner HARKINS held an inquest on the remains, and the jury 
composed of Howard CONKLIN, foreman, W. I. ROBERTS, W. G. CHURCH, J. C. 
HORTON, Geo. HUNTSMAN and D. E. MC NAIR brought in a verdict in =
accordance with the facts as above stated.
