Malone, a Civil War veteran, a passenger on No. 104 Tuesday night, died this morning at 12:10 at the Commercial hotel in Hugo from injuries received when he fell off the rear of the Putnam coach, one mile west of town. The aged man got up from his birth and walked to the vestibule to get a little air. The train had stopped that evening about a mile west of town on account of a freight train ahead. The man was either jerked from the vestibule when the train started or in the darkness he leaned up against what he thought was the door and fell off the train. It is a known fact that the rear door of the Pullman coach he was riding came open a number of times from Denver and would not remain locked. Several passengers on the train know this to be a fact. None of the passenger crew noticed the absence of the man and he was not found until eight o’clock the next morning. A freight crew coming into Hugo, noticed a man lying about a hundred yards north of the track right at the place known as the test hills. Sheriff Tom Williams was notified and he went out to investigate the matter. Here he found the man in an unconscious condition. He was brought to Hugo and taken to the Commercial hotel and Dr. Bacon, the railroad surgeon was summoned. The man appeared to be but slightly injured, his face was bruised and a slight cut in the left leg. He regained consciousness shortly afterwards and gave a disconnected account of how the accident happened. It is thought that his death was due to pneumonia, as he was lying out on the ground for about nine hours in an unconscious condition. When he fell from the train he crawled from the right-of-way across the fence and then became unconscious. He was without a coat and his shoes were by his side. Mr. Malone was traveling from his home at Kelso, Washington, where a son, Frank Malone, lives to visit his daughter, Mrs. G. B. Richardson, at Altoona, Kansas. He was accompanied by his 16-year-old grandson, Russell, who occupied a birth opposite him. The lad did not miss his grandfather until he reached Ellis, Kansas. Wednesday morning Sheriff Williams notified his son-in-law, G. B. Richardson, at Altoona, Kansas of the accident. Mr. Richardson arrived in Hugo on the early morning train Friday and was grieved to learn that his father-in-law had passed away during the night. The remains were prepared for shipment east at the Wooldridge parlors. Coroner Fred Kenaga, of Limon, was summoned and held an inquest early this morning. The following jurymen were empaneled: William M. Jones, Al. Reid, Dan Willson, Harold Cook, Herbert Abernathy and William Reinhardt, who found that the man came to his death from falling off a passenger train and being exposed for eight or nine hours, which caused pneumonia. Mr. Richardson accompanied the body to Altoona, Kansas this afternoon on No. 102, where the burial will be made. Members of the local Masonic fraternity, Mr. Richardson being a fellow member, escorted the cortege to the depot—The Lincoln County Democrat, Hugo, Colo.--0— David H. Malone was born in the state of Indiana, July 16th, 1840, and died at Hugo, Colorado Sept. 12, 1919, aged 79 years, 1 month and 27 days. At the time of his death he was enroute to Altoona to visit his daughter, Mrs. Gordon B. Richardson, accompanied by his grandson, Russell Malone. In some way he fell from the moving train at Hugo, Colorado, and lay all night beside the railroad track. After several hours exposure he was taken to a hotel and all assistance possible was given, but complications of pneumonia together with the shock and his advanced age proved too much and the end came Friday morning at 10 minutes after 12. He was married 57 years ago to Missouri E. Springer. To this union were born three children, Joanna Keyser, who passed away six years ago; Frank L. Malone, living in Kelso, Washington; and Mrs. Georgia H. Richardson, of this city.
