Ben Anderson Killed in Mojave Accident
Ben Anderson, who was widely known throughout the desert and mountain district, was almost instantly killed at 8 o'clock Thursday morning near the Mojave freight sheds, when the team he was holding took fright at a passing switch engine and ran away, throwing him out of the wagon.
From the time of the accident until death came he was unconscious, and a surgical examination showed that his neck was broken and three ribs fractured.
Coroner Dixon was called and rendered a verdict of accidental death.
Mr. Anderson was a native of Texas, but had lived in Oklahoma many years, moving to California a few years ago. He was 71 years old, a man of the southwestern pioneer type and well liked by all his acquaintances. Besides a grown son, James Anderson, and daughter, Mrs. W.W. Judy, he leaves a wife and her three small children. They have the sympathy of a large circle of friends.
The funeral arrangements have not been made as we go to press, but burial will probably take place at Mojave Sunday morning.
Mrs. Judy, who was in Garnett, Kansas, on account of the serious illness of Mr. Judy's father, was wired for, and she expects to be home Sunday morning.
Mr. Anderson's brother is expected here from Montana in a few days, also.

Funeral of Ben Anderson
The largest gathering ever attending a funeral in Mojave was in evidence at the obsequies of the late Ben Anderson Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The M.E. church was filled to the doors and as many more waited outside while Rev. U.L. Walker spoke words of consolation for the bereaved.
On account of the illness of Mrs. Anderson the body was kept at the home of Mr. Anderson's daughter, Mrs. Judy, until the day of the funeral, when it was taken to Mrs. Anderson's bedside. Jack Marvin had charge of the funeral and he postponed the time of the funeral until the arrival of relatives from Montana.
The casket was covered with many large and beautiful floral offering, some being sent by out-of-town friends. Interment in Mojave cemetery followed services in the church.
Mrs. Judy, daughter of the deceased, arrived home from Kansas Sunday morning. Others from a distance were a brother, A.W. Anderson, of Billings, Montana, with his daughter and granddaughter, Howard Hunt, a relative from San Bernardino, and Mrs. F. L. Jones of Bakersfield, mother of Mrs. Frye. Mrs. Jones formerly resided here.
