immediately turned their car around and drove back to Ogden without
stopping. Herbert Allen and Raymond Allen were reported to have obtained
the license number of the car which officers said is registered to Mrs.
Mary G. Patterson, 146 East Fourth South Street, Provo.
Mr. Stimpson who is clerk of the Weber stake of the L.D.S. church, was
treated at the hospital by Dr. E.I. Rich who said he did not consider the
injuries critical.
Deputy Sheriff Joseph B. Wallace investigated the accident.
Later Saturday night police of Provo telephoned Nigh Jailer Samuel
Tomlinson at the sheriffs office here that Robert B. Patterson and George
Hanson, both of Provo, reported the accident at Provo.

Stimpson from his bicycle they stopped and helped the injured man into
another automobile which started for the hospital.

other machine, so proceeded on to Provo and reported the accident there.

RUSHFORD, Daniel
Dated: Monday, April 1, 1935
Headline: Roadmaster Is Train Victim-Daniel Rushford Almost Decapitated In
Rail Accident
SALT LAKE CITY, Apr. 1---(AP)---The almost decapitated body of Daniel
Rushford, 58-year-old roadmaster of the Oregon Short Line railroad, was
found on the tracks of the Los Angeles and Salt Lake line in the south end
of Salt Lake county early today.
Rushford came here in 1929, being transferred from Pocatello, where he
served the Short Line eight years. While stationed here, he was in charge
of the O.S.L. from Cache Junction, near Logan, south.
Officers who investigated the accident expressed the belief Rushford was
struck by an object protruding from a freight car as railroad men reported
only a freight train passed from the time the victim was seen alive until
his body was found.
Rushford’s shoulder was broken and his head almost torn from his body.

Headline: Body Of Youth Found Near S.L.
SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 18---(UP)---Salt Lake county officials today were
attempting to determine whether Everett Gibby, 20, whose decomposed body
was found late yesterday in Big Cottonwood canyon, shot himself to death
or was the victim of an accident.
The boy had been missing since Sept. 4. The body was found under a rocky
ledge with a discharged revolver laying across the abdomen.
Finding of the body ended a two-weeks search for the boy, started when his
automobile was found in the canyon. The car was less than a mile from the
location of the body.
One shot had been fired from the gun. Searchers had apparently passed
within a few feet of the body without sighting it, and bloodhounds used in
the search also were unable to locate it.
