Story as Told in Cordova Times
—Corser Not Badly Hurt
Body Sent Outside.
•WT
Engineer of Bridges and Build
ings L. M. Price met his death,
and Superintendent Caleb Corser
of the Copper River & Northwest
ern railway was injured on Wed
nesday evening at mile 192, when
the motor speeder on which they
were making an inspection trip
struck a horse and was overturn
ed.
The two officials had just left
Blackburn when a horse grazing’
along the track became fright
ened and jumped in front of the
car, which was going at a speed
of from 12 to 15 miles an hour.
There was no time to stop the*
car, which struck the horse and
overturned. Mr. Price was thrown
forward stepping into a small
trestle immediately in front of
the car; the wheel of the upset
car struck his head, crushing the
skull. He died three hours af
terward without gaining con
sciousness. Mr. Corser was
thrown backward from the car.
eH was severely bruised and bad
ly shaken but fortunately not
seriously injured.
Dr. Schrock was immediately
summoned by telephone from
Kennicott, four miles from the
'accident, and hurried to the scene
Vm horseback.
Every thing possible was done
to save Mr. Price’s life, but with
out avail. He passed away three
hours after the occurrence of the
accident.
Mr. (Gorser’s injuries were
Pressed and he was made as com
fortable! as possible for the re
turn trip to Cordova.
The local train which bad ar
rived a short time before at Chit
ina was at once sent to the scene
of the accident. Dr. Payzant,
brother-in-law of Mr. Price, ac
companying them. Mr. Price died
a few minutes after the arrival
of the train. The victims of the
wreck were taken to Chitina and
at'3:15 on Thursday morning the
train left for Cordova. The dis
tance was covered in foru hours
and a half, the fastest time ever
made over the road.
Upon the arrival of the train
here Mr. Corser was taken to his
home. To the great relief of the
community, it was announced
that his injuries were not ser
ious, although he was suffering
from numerous bruises and a se
vere shock.
Mr. Price came to Alaska in
the spring of 1902 and spent the
summer in the vicinity of Valdez,
returning to Wyoming in the fall.
In the spring of 1905 George
C. Hazelel, then manager of the
Copper River & Northwestern
railway interests at Valdez, from
which point they decided to build
a railroad to the interior of Alas
ka, selected as engineering staff
for the new road ellnry Deyo, I<.
M. Price, Thos. Holland and F.
E. Butlerworlh, all of whom were
at that time in the service of the
Burlington railway in Wyoming.
Mr. Deyo, as chief engineer, and
Mr. Price as first assistant. Dur
ing the years 1905 and 1900 Mr.
Pr|ce was engaged dn locating
a line from Valdez to reach the
Kotsina copper district and the
Bonanza mine.
In 1907 M. K. Rodgers took ov
er the management of the C. R. &
N. W. Ry. and the base of opera
tions was transferred to Katalla.
Mr. Price removed to that place
and was engaged there during the
summe of 1907 as chief locating
engineer. At Katalla he met and
married his wife.
Mr. Price came to Cordova in
the fall of 1907 at the time I he
late E. C. Hawkins became chief
engineer and general manager of
the C. R. & N. VV. Ry. Since that
time he has been one of the most
capable and trusted members of
the engineering stall of the com
pany.
Mr. Price established his home
in Cordova, and he held the sin
cere ,friendship and respect of
everyone in the community. In
the city election last, spring,
without any effort on his part, he
received the? highest vote. As
mayor of the city he made a
splendid public official.
Mr. Price leaves to mourn his
loss a wife and young son, resi
dents of this city, and a mother,
Mrs. L. M. Price, residing at Zen
ith, Wyoming. The sympathy of
the entire community is extend
ed to them in their great be
reavement.
