"Charles Abel, the man whose skull was fractured in the runaway accident on the Mark West Springs grade on Tuesday died at twenty minutes past four o clock yesterday morning at the County Hospital. Coroner Frank Blackburn will hold an inquest this morning, A reporter learned yesterday from Mrs. Danhaussen, on whose ranch he had woiked tor a long time, that his true name was Charles Abel and not Muller as was at first supposed. Upon Inquiry from the attending physician, Dr, Bonar, it was learned last night that Councilman King was resting nicely. In addition to his other injuries he is suffering severely from shock. His scalp was also cut and badly bruised and his body, from the effects of being dragged along the road, looks almost as if he had been run over by a harrow. He had a very miraculous escape. Dr. McLeod stated yesterday that Mrs. Sackman is doing as well as could be expected. She is a plucky woman and while undergoing the ordeal of having some twelve or fifteen stitches taken in her face she bore up wonderfully."
