FRANK PUETTGEN DRAGGED
TO DEATH UBDER HAY RAKE
Ranch .Hand .Empliyed(sic) .on .Sutton
Place Dies From Injuries re-
ceived in Runaway.
Frank Puettgen, a ranch hand employed on the Sutton Bros.' ranch near Stacey, received injuries Tuesday evening from a runaway, that resulted in his death some twelve hours later, without his having regained consciousness.
Puettgen was working on the ranch of R. G. and J. P. Sutton, which is at the head of the Little Pumpkin, and at the time the accident occurred was raking hay. R. J. Sutton was in the field with him and saw the latter part of the runaway which resulted in the young man's death. The team took fright at some object and threw Puettgen in such a manner that he was entangled in the doubletrees and lines and while held in that position he was bruised and battered by the horses' heels and contact with the ground until death resulted.
When Mr. Sutton arrived at the place the team had stopped the young man was barely alive. E. W. Shy and Mrs. Shy soon after arrived and aided in taking the injured man to the Sutton ranch, where a physician was called, but all efforts to resuscitate him were unavailing and he died yesterday morning about 4 o'clock.
Puettgen was about twenty-three years of age and came to Miles City a little over a year ago. He was acquainted with the Sutton Bros. before he came here, knowing them at Sayre, Okla., before the Suttons moved to Montana. For a time after coming to Miles City the deceased was employed by James Daly and afterwards worked on the Tom Scott ranch at Stacey.
The body was brought to Miles last night, the Sutton boys driving the seventy-five miles between here and their ranch in twelve hours. Undertaker Plimpton prepared the body for shipment and it will be sent to friends at Doxey, Okla., tonight.
The Sutton boys and others for whom he worded join in giving the young man an excellent reputation, and in the year and a quarter spent in the Stacey section he made many friends who regret his untimely end.
