ALMON W. SMITH KILLED WEDNESDAY
Wednesday morning as Almon Smith was coming to town where he was engaged in his usual occupation of carpentering, he was killed by train No. 2 as he was crossing the railroad track a few rods east of his home. The train was late and it is the supposition that he did not see it until the train was upon him. He had his neck and one arm broken, otherwise he was not bruised to speak of. His head was bruised some but the skull was not fractured. His little boy Benny had been in the habit of of accompanying his father to town and assisting him in carrying the carpenter tools, but this morning he had no tools to carry and he told his father he would not go to school so soon. Had he accompanied his father, ten chances to one he would have escaped. Almon W. Smith was born October 17, 1834 in Sheffield, Lorain county, Ohio, and died at La Junta, Colorado, March 30th, 1910, being 76 years, 6 months and 13 days old. He was an old soldier, and recently had been restored to the pension rolls, from which his name had been stricken something over a year ago. He was on the eighth of February given a raise in pension from $15 to $20 per month. An inquest held this afternoon at the Thompsons undertaking parlor over the remains and the verdict of the jury was that he was killed accidentally and that blame for the accident could not be attached to no one. County Coroner Wilson of the Ford conducted the inquest. He had a son residing in Wyoming as well as his wife and little son at this place. Mrs. J. M. Boggs, of Las Animas is a sister who has already arrived to attend the funeral which will be held Friday afternoon. The deepest sympathy is with the bereaved widow who is almost blind, and the little boy who is not old enough yet to be able to sustain himself.
