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.
