Robinson, born August 27, 1887 the sixteen year old son of George Robinson of Cheyenne, met death in a pecuilar manner Satruday September 1905 while hauling a load of freight from this place to Cheyenne. As the heavily loaded wagon was going down a steep hill he fell off striking on his head and breaking his neck, killing him instantly. It seems that he was driving with one hand and holding to the brake rope with the other, when the wagon struck a hole in the road, lurching so as to throw him off. The accident happenced about four and a half miles south of Cheyenne. George Robinson, father of the boy, was on the jury in the Price case, which was being tried in the district court. The testimony had all been taken and the lawyers were making their arguments when the news reahced the court room. Judge Irwin immediately discharged the jury and continue the case to the next term of court. This is the second time that this case has been postponed. Sayre Star, Sayre, OK
