respected resident of San Juan, died last Saturday from the effects of
injuries received in a runaway accident. He was coming into town in a
2-horse wagon and when near F.D. SHERMANs place, on Fourth street, the
horses took fright and stated to run at a lively gait. Mr. DOUGHERTY
evidently realized his perilous position and grabbed the seat with his
left hand, retaining the reins in his right. At the corner of Monterey
street the team turned in a southerly direction, at the same time
increasing their pace. As they neared the corner of Seventh and Monterey
street, the tongue of the wagon fell to the ground, at which place the
unfortunate man was thrown from the wagon and when picked up was found to
be unconscious. Medical assistance was summoned and an examination of his
injuries showed that he had received a fracture at the base of the skull
and his neck dislocated. He lived some time after the accident but was
unconscious up to the last. Deceased had been a resident of the San Juan
valley for the past 30 years where he had been engaged in farming and
stock raising the greater portion of the time. He was well known
throughout the county and was universally respected, and his untimely
taking off was regretted. He was a man of many excellent qualities and
was recognized by all who knew him as an upright and honorable
citizen The funeral took place from the Catholic Church at San Juan last
Monday and the remains were interred in the cemetery at that
place Besides a widow he leaves a number of children to mourn his loss.
