Tom Snow, inspector for the Texas Cattle Raiser's Association at the St. Louis National Stockyards, met with a sudden and untimely death last evening as he was going home. He was riding near the street car line when his horse bolted, and afterwards stumbled, fell and rolled over his rider. Mr. Snow was picked up insensible and never recovered. It was a complete accident, and although Mr. Snow was a first class horseman, his skill did not save him. Tom Snow had been here for four years. He was respected for his earnest and devoted attention to duty, and he was a friend to every man and boy in the yards. He leaves a widow and one child, and they have the heartfelt sympathy of all in their sudden and severe bereavement.
