A FATAL ACCIDENT.
On Tuesday or Wednesday of last week, David Eames went to the canyon f o r a load of wood, and having secured it, was returning when his horses , w hich are high spirited animals, took fright at something and ran away , s o injuring David that he returned home leaving the load of wood in th e ca nyon. Thursday morning his brother Joseph Eames went after it, wit h a tea m that was deemed trustworthy, but as he did not return that even ing as e xpected, David and another brother went after him. About 10 o cl ock the y found the wagon tipped over and in such a condition as to indic ate a ru naway; and after searching some time they found the dead body o f Joseph o n the slide, or dugway, lying on his right side, with his ar m folded unde r him, and a pool of blood near him. They succeeded in gett ing the body d own to the road; then went to the Temple wood camp for ass istance. The fa tal injuries were received on the head and face which wer e fearfully mang led. As the corpse presented such a ghastly appearance , they washed the h ead and face before bringing it home. They arrived i n Logan about 5 o’clo ck in the morning and a coroner’s inquest was at on ce held. He bore a goo d character, and leaves a wife and three childre n to mourn his loss. We e xtend our sympathy to his family and friends.
