Deaf And Dumb Man Killed By Santa Fe Train
Unable to sense approaching danger on account of the fact that he
was deaf and dumb, Frank A. Bucey, who home is said to be Silverton,
Ore., was struck and instantly killed by a rapid moving Santa Fe
mainline passenger train yesterday morning about a mile out of Ash
Fork as he was making his way along the track.
It is believed that he the dead man leaves a widow, children and
parents at Silverton.
The body which was brought to Prescott last night pending a
communication from his relatives, was without a bruise or broken
bone, death probably being due to internal concussion.
Bucey, who was in Prescott a few days ago, was on his way to Pueblo,
Colo. He inquired at both the local and the Ash Fork Santa Fe
stations about the fare to that city. The man apparently was
without funds, however, as not a cent was found on his body, and he
had accosted people on the streets of Ash Fork for money, including
a Prescott man, who after giving him a dollar; talked to him by
means of a writing pad and was advised by the stranger that he had
recently suffered injuries in a motor car accident.
A jury was summoned at Ash Fork yesterday afternoon by the coroner
and after investigating the tragedy it brought in a verdict of
accidental death.
The body is being held at the Ruffner undertaking establishment.
Transcriber's note: Mr. Busey is buried in an unmarked grave at the
Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.
