Show KILLED BY HIS HORSE. SAD ENDING OF A PROMINENT CITIZEN CITI-ZEN THIS MORNING. L. K. Sharp Found Dead on Tenth South Between First and Second West The Details. One of those distressing accidents which .happen so frequently took place this morning, morn-ing, and as a result L. R. Sharp, one of Salt Lake's best known and highly respected citizens cit-izens is lying cold in death in the city morgue. A laborer going: to his work, betw een 6 and 7 o'clock, found Sharp lying on his face on Tenth South, between First and Second West, dead. He reported the matter at police headquarters and the body was removed re-moved to the coroner's office. The cause of his death seems to have been about as follows: Mr. Sharp owned a horse which he has been iu the habit of picketing out over nitrht. From the position of the body it would seem that he had gone to catch the animal which evidently gave him a chase. He then, presumably, caught hold of the rope in close proximity to the horse which first kicked him and then threw hilii to the ground causing instant death. There are two wounds on the body- one where the animal kicked him, over the heart, the other on the nose caused by the fail. The trail of the rope by which the horse was tethered out was plainly visible in the dust of the road. Mr. Sharp was about 50 years of age and unmarried. He has one brother here in the employ of Henry Deuhalter and another in 'Jypsuin City, Kan. The latter has been telegraphed for. Deceased was formerly a member of the real estate firm of Davis, Sharp ite Stringer in the ownership cf an addition west of the city. He was a member of Camp 5 P. O. S. of A. of this city, the only order to which he belonged. The order will doubtless take charge of the funeral arrangements when the time shall have been agreed upon. |
