TYART, Rosko - (from Gentry) Rosko Tyart started four weeks ago to Pueblo, Col. On his arrival there he was taken sick with mountain fever and came very near dying but gained enough to start home. On his way down from Kansas City the train stopped for a short time and Rosko concluded he would walk to a near by restaurant and get something to eat. On his return the train started and he made a rush to catch it and caught hold of the railing on the car and in so doing he swung under the wheels with one leg and catching his leg ran over and mashed his thigh. He was taken back to Kansas City and his folks notified of the accident. His father hastened to him as soon as possible. Friday at one o'clock his leg was amputated at the company's hospital but he never fully recovered from the effects of the medicine and died at six o'clock Friday evening. Funeral at Flint cemetery Sunday evening at 4 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Hughey. Rosko was a young man just emerging into manhood. The family have the sympathy of the entire community in this, their sad hour.
