Fatal Accident at Gold Hill. A. S. Moon, of Gold Hill, the founder and 
formerly a resident of the small town of Moonville, in Sams Valley, met with 
an accident at Gold Hill Wednesday, which caused his death a few hours later. 
He was loading a wagon with lumber taken from a box car, when his team became 
frightened at a switch engine and started to run. In making an effort to hold 
the horses by the bits, he was thrown under their feet and the heavily loaded 
wagon passed over his chest, crushing him and injuring him internally. He 
became conscious only a couple of hours before death and suffered intensely. 
His remains will be interred in the Moonville cemetery Friday afternoon, April 
20th.
