Leach, the well known stage driver who had been employed for a long time as driver on the Lewis- town -Great Falls stage line, met with a fatal accident Saturday while on his way to this city, receiving injuries that resulted in hie death at Moore early Monday morning. There were no eye witnesses to the mishap, but the circumstances indicate that when the stage was near the mall post at Itooney's ranch this side of Philbrook, a sudden lurch of the vehicle threw the driver to the ground. Mr. Leach was evidently wholly unprepared for the jolting, and alighted on his head. One arm was broken and he sustained concusion of the brain. Some time later, parties who were 'driving by saw him lying stretched in the road, while the horses were grazing alone near by. The driver was picked up in an unconscious condition nad taken first to the Rooney residence, while Dr. David was called from Moore to attend him. Sunday the injured man was taken to Moore and given the most careful attention, but he passed away Monday morning without regain- ing consciousness. Tre interment took place at Moore tended.
