CRUSHED TO DEATH
While D. M. Coonce, a well known pioneer, was trying to ride his horse into the livery stable at Rosalia, Thursday of last week, the animal became frightened and reared backward, falling on its rider, the pommel of the saddle crushing Mr. Coonce's breast. He regained consciousness sufficiently to express a wish to see his wife and children, but death was almost instant. Deceased resided six miles northeast of Rosalia and leaves a wife and six daughters to mourn his demise.
