STAMFORD, Jan. 11. ——Af‘1tal .1cc1dLnt occurred Tuesday afternoon on the Lohg Ridge Road, about. 500 yards above the Roxbury school house, in which George Lord of this city lost his life. Lord, who was about 60 years of age, was employed as a teamster for George W. Searies, the livery man, and yester. day morning about 9 o’clock he started with a team of horses for Long Ridge to draw a load of wood for Dr. E. E. Rowell. It was on his way home, some— where about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, that he met his death. It is hard to say just how it occurred, as there was no oue mar the spot when he fell from the wagon. An Italian who was driving past the spot where the body lay saw a man ly- ing in the road, but for some reason he did not get out to examine the body un- til James Lynch drove up behind him. The two men then looked at the man and found that he was bleeding from a wound in the side of his head, just above the temple. The Italian hurriedly drove to pol1ce headquarters and notified Chief Bow- man, who with Office1sFolcy and Wil- liams, drove rapidly to the place in the ambulance. When they arrived at the scene of. the accident the man's body was still warm and they put him in the ambu- lance and started for the hospital. In the meantime, Dr. Sheri” had been notified and was on his way to the place when he met the ambulance and upon examining Lord he found that life was extinct and ordered him taken to Martin Brothers, Morgue which place he later visited, and after a hasty examination was of the opinion that the man died from Bright’s disease as he had been troubled with it more or less. and also had a weak heart; as his skull was not fractured, it is not gener- ally believed that it was the fall alone that killed him. ——<~- . — ‘OOO' HlSTORlCAL SOCIETY.
