Jones age 35 years, who has been working a short time for Mr. M.N. Hudson on Elk Creek, met with a fatal accident last Friday evening, November 3, 1899. Deceased attended a literary society meeting held at Crowe (Elk City) that evening, and was on his way home when his horse ran into a hole in the road. The horse fell violently, dying instantly and its rider was seriously injured that he lived only two hours. In falling the horse turned a complete somersault and it is supposed that he fell on Jones, the horn of saddle striking the man in the stomach and infliciting fatal internal injuries.
