A Fatal Accident.

Wednesday William Shangle was fatally injured in un accident that occurred just below the Rimrock on the Uniontown hill. He was hauling baled hay for the Burnham & Gribble commission house. He started from Lewiston early in the morning and expected to get back with his load about the middle of the afternoon. It was about 3 p.m. when he reached the top of the hill and 15 minutes later his mangled body was resting on the road side while life ebbed away.

Geo. S. Hinkle who was bringing down a load of hay for the O. K. feed yard was about a half mile behind Mr. Shangle when the accident happened. He was at his side in 15 minutes and remained with him till his death. His account of the accident is as follows: "Shangle was driving down the grade with his foot in the brake rope when the brake block slipped out and the wagon lurched forward upon the wheel horses and the whole team started to run. Shangle jumped but the brake rope threw him back under the wagon on his face and the hind wheels passed over the small of his back crushing him." This is the story Mr. Shangle to those who gathered about him. He lived about an hour and a half after the accident. Mr. Hinkle and others carried him to the roadside and brought water to bathe his head and quench his thirst. He suffered great pain but was conscious and talked lively about the accident and about his wife and children. He mourned greatly because he had to he taken from them leaving them among strangers and alone. He was free from pain for the half hour preceding his death and the end came easily and quietly.

The deceased is the son of William Shangle, of Cassia county, Idaho, a very prominent, cattleman of that section of the state, and he has only been here about two months. The father was coming here in a few weeks and together they were expecting to locate their cattle upon some of the ranges here. The wife of the deceased and four small children are in the city. They live in one of the small houses along the dike.
