A FATAL ACCIDENT.
On last Wednesday afternoon, between the hours of four and five, Eugene Marron, aged 25 years, met with an accident which resulted in his losing his life. The particulars, so far as are known, are substantially as follows: The young man had been engaged by Perry Rosenberger, a neighbor, to haul a jag of hay to town for the purpose of bedding a car; he intending to ship a load of cattle that night. The wind was blowing strongly and a wagon box with double side-boards was filled with hay and the young man started on his journey to town. He was seen to have passed the old Grossman place alright but the next time he was seen he was dead. No one saw how the accident occurred, but the theory accepted by all is that he fell from the high load, going down between the horses and wagon. The jawbone was broken and marks on the body showed that the wagon had passed over him. A bunch of hay was found near the body which indicates that the hay slipping, caused the fall. A boy going home from school noticed the team without a driver and he stopped them. Shortly after another boy discovered the body and gave the alarm. It was found about 75 yards north of the Grossman corner. Dr. Williams was summoned but when he reached the place life was extinct and the body was brought to town, where it remained until relatives took charge of it.

The deceased was the oldest son of the late Peter Marron, and upon him rested the responsibility of caring for the seven other orphan children, ranging in age from 7 to 21. Their home is on the old Julius Steffen place, three and a half miles southeast of Manning. The family consisted of four boys and four girls, the eldest girl being 19 years of age. Eugene, with the assistance of the other boys had well tended the farm and were rewarded with abundant crops, and in the midst of their happiness the one upon whom they had depended for advice, who had been their counselor in every undertaking, no matter of how small a degree, has been taken from them. This is a most unfortunate affair and the orphans will have the watchful care and tender sympathies of every one.

The funeral was held yesterday and the remains were interred in the Catholic Cemetery at Vail.
