Henry Brown, an Old-Timer, Run Over By His Team and Fatally Injured
Yesterday morning a man named Henry Brown was brought into this city in a dying condition, the result of a runaway accident. He was takne to the Columbus hospital and Dr. Ferguson called in, but when the doctor arrived his patient was breathing his last and died soon after.
Brown came to Great Falls a couple days ago with a load of hay from his ranch at Upper Sand Coulee. He sold the hay and started for home late Wednesday night. In going home he took a short cut through a private road which is closed with a gate. Although no one saw the accident it is supposed to have happened in this way. He had dismounted to open the gate when his team became frightened in some way and started to run away. He tried to stop then and got thrown down in front of the heavy wagon. One wheel of the wagon passed over his thigh, crushing it badly and causing internal injuries in the abdominal region. He was found at an early hour in the morning and brought into the city, but nothing could be done for him by medical skill.
Mr. Brown is well known in Great Falls, being one of the early settlers here. He is said to have a brother living in the city and A.B. Elkins, a rancher living near Paris Gibson's Sand Coulee ranch, is a brother-in-law of his. Mr. Elkins has been communicated with and when he arrives in the city today arrangements will be made for the funeral. The deceased was about 35 years old.
