Colonel H. R. Steavenson Thrown from a Sulky and Killed
(Special to the Statesman.)
CALDWELL, Sept, 13.--Colonel Hugh R. Steavenson was thrown from his sulky last night and sustained injuries from which he died soon afterward.
Deceased lived one and one half miles out. He left town to go home, riding in a sulky. some time later he was found lying in the road unconscious near where Kimball street crosses the railroad track. He never regained consiousness and died at 9:30 p.m.
No one saw the accident and the csuse can only be surmised. It is supposed that the horse, which was a spirited animal, shied and that the bit broke, as a portion of the bit was found near by.
Colonel Steavenson was a member of the Shaw Lunber company, being one of the prominent business men of Caldwell. He was highly esteemed for his social qualities and sterling quality, and his death is a severe loss to the community.
Deceased was 58 years of age. He was born in Scotland and lived for some years in London. In later years, he lived in Australia and New Zealand, occupying positions in the British consular service. During the past five years he had been a resident of Caldwell. He leaves a widow and four daughters, one of his daughters being the wife of Hon. Ralph A. Cowden.
