Unfortunate Young Man Loses His Life at Wolcott Sunday Night
Newton Williams, a ranchman who was attempting to board eastbound passenger No, 6 Sunday night at Wolcott fell and was dragged several hundred feet killing him almost instantly. Williams lives in Toponas and it is believed his parents live at Calhoun, Missouri.
The unfortunate young man was a brother of Miss Inez Williams, teacher of the Gore creek school. At the time of his death he was en route to William Webb's ranch on Gore creek, having been engaged by Mr. Webb to take charge of the place during his absence. Coroner Farnum was called to the scene and took charge of the body, later turning it over to the sister of the deceased as stated by our Minturn correspondent.

Friends of Miss Inez Williams, our Gore creek school teacher, were much shocked to hear of the death of her brother at Wolcott, while trying to board train No. 7 on the evening of the 18th. When he met with the accident he was mangled beyond recognition. Miss Williams drove to Wolcott and will take her brother's remains to her sister's home for burial.
