WM. A. FORD IS
KILLED IN CASPER
---
City Councilman Willam A. Ford, of Casper, Wyo., whose death was chronicled herein, the other evening, the victim of a fatal accident, as intimated in the report of his death given in the Press.
Later reports from the west show that he was struck by a tongue, when a runaway team dashed down the street.
He was standing in the street, and the tongue hit him in the back, inflicting injuries, which an hour later, proved fatal.
By a sad coincidence, the team that caused the tragedy was one belonging to his son, although Mr. Ford had nothing to do with the runaway, itself, mere chance placing him in the pathway of the onrushing animals.
Frie? is of Mr. Ford here, at the old home, will grieve. He was a kinsman of Jacob and Peter Kloos and the Tucker family.
