SIMPLY GRAND
From the Alamosa (Colo.) Herald.
Two young gentlemen by the names of Olsen and Gromberg from
Chicago, but who have been spending the summer at Mosac, were in Alamosa
yesterday, and we had the pleasure of listening to their execution of music on
the piano at Rector Harrison's home. The music was simply grand. They took you
with them down the line of the white ivory keys, then rushed you back again,
turned you around and you stood awed as they touched the black keys and music
came forth. Truly these two young men can well adhere to the proverb that music
hath charms to soothe the savage breast.

COLORED YOUTH KILLED IN SANTA FE RAILROAD YARDS
Raymond Young, 16 Years Old, Crushed in Attempt to Board Freight
Raymond Young, colored, aged 16 years, was struck and almost
instantly killed yesterday afternoon by a freight train, which he had attempted
to board in the Santa Fe yards south of town. The accident occurred shortly
after 3:30 p.m., and the body was found a few moments later.
Young is the son W.H. Young, 329 East Fountain street, head
waiter on a D. & R.G. dining car between Denver and Salt lake City. He was
notified of the accident at Grand Junction last night.
There will be no inquest, according to Coroner ?.T. Boyle(?)
It is thought that the colored boy was following his usual practice of catching
a ride from the brickyards, where he occasionally worked, to his home near the
railroad. His mother often warned him against this, she old the coroner. His
foot, it is believed, caught in a frog near the switch when he tried to board
the train.
Young is survived by his mother and father, a brother living
in Alamosa, and two sisters, residents of Kansas City and Denver, respectively.
Funeral arrangements have not been made.
