Denbigh Young Man Killed Abroad. The sad news has just been received of the death, under tragic circumstances, of Mr Curwyn Jones, the young son of Mr Price Jones, Cemetery Cottage, Denbigh, who was accidentally killed on March 10th in Sammerland, O'Kanagan, British Colom- bia. Only bare particulars are at present to hand, and the parents have received no news at all as yet otherwise than through Mrs Warren, Rothin-road, who has re- ceived a letter from a brother, who is out in British Colombia, and Jones was work- ing in a fruit ranch which is owned by the father-in-law of the writer of the letter. It appears that Jones had been engaged by the owner of the ranch, a Mr Brown, for a year, and on the night of the 10thot March was driving a team of horses with a loaded wagon, when he slipped and fell in front of the wagon aside of the tongue. The horses did not take fright, but Jones, being unable to guide them from the position in which he had fallen, they collided with a telegraph post, and struck his head so violently that ha was at once rendered unconscious, and died in about 15 minutes. The letter goes on to state that he was very well liked, and gave every satisfaction to his employer and all concerned, and all feel his sad death very much. The deceased, who was a bright, intelligent young fellow, would have been 20 years of age had he lived till last Saturday. At home he was appren- ticed as a grocer, and worked with Messrs Owens & Littler, Townsend, and also at Llandyrnog, and wrs recognised as a good business youth, well liked by the customers and his employers. He joined the B Squadron of the Denbighshire Hussars Yeomanry, and attended the camp at Salusbury Plain last year, and all the members are sorry to hear of this sad accident. He sailed for the New World on September 9th last, and worked for three months on railway construction in Alberta, and afterwards moved from there to British Columbia, where he had worked on a fruit ranch for the past three months. Naturally the news of his death has come as a great shook to his parents, and great sympathy has been extended to them in the sad calamity. They wish to express, through the medium of this paper, their sinoere thanks to all who have extended sympathy with then.
