HIS LIFE CRUSHED OUT
William Heine suddenly killed By Skull Being Crushed
William Heine, aged about 27 years, living west of Craig, met death in a most sudden manner, on Tuesday of this week, April 29, 1902. It seems from the most reliable information at hand that Mr. Heine is building a residence near the Stumbo Mill, and on Tuesday morning took his team and wagon to the place where he was getting out the rock for the foundation. He proceeded to load his wagon with the rock, and while getting a large piece upon the wagon, by some means it turned unexpectedly, and in his efforts to stay its course, it struck him upon the head, crushing his skull, and death came in a short time.
Mr. Heine was one of the best citizens of Northwest Holt, and his friends throughout the county will learn of his sad death with the keenest regrets. He leaves a widow and one child.
