FRANK BOSTON GROUND TO DEATH BY WHEELS OF TRAIN.
Wednesday afternoon Frank Boston, while attempting to board a fast moving freight train near the D. & R. G. W. station at Gypsum, was thrown under the wheels of the cars and instantly killed.
Boston and his brother, Earnest, desired to come to Eagle, and there being no other means of making the trip, decided to catch the fast freight which did not stop at Gypsum. The unfortunate man missed his hold on the car he attempted to board and was thrown between two freight cars and dragged underneath the wheels. Thirteen cars passed over his body which was cut and mangled almost beyond recognition. The head was severed from the shoulders and the body cut in two at the hips.
Boston was a veteran of the World war, with service in France to his record. Shortly before entering the army Boston married Miss Doris Yost, daughter of Geo. Yost, and to them was born one child, which died in infancy.
The parents of the deceased man live at Elizabeth, Colo., and it was planned to bury the body at Gypsum Thursday afternoon if the parents reached there in time as arranged.
