Morris Cloney's Death On Tuesday of last week, Morris Cloney, one of the best known and most popular cow- men in Grant county, while roping a steer near Cow springs, was thrown with his horse and the base of his skull fractured, which caused paralysis of the left side. From that time on he was never conscious for more than a few seconds at a time. A cowman named Ross was with Cloney at the time of the accident, who soon secured help and the dying man was carried on a hay rake to Cow springs, and from there conveyed to the railroad station, and thence to the hospital in this city, where he received every attention possible up to the time of his death which occurred Tuesday evening at 4 o’clock. The funeral took place the follow- ing day, and was largely attended by citizens of this place.
