He was on top of the wagon, and after binding the poles at the front of the wagon, was pressing down on the other end when the treacherous pole snapped at the middle and he was precipitated head foremost to the earth. The man with him sprang to intercept his fall, but was too late. His forehead struck the ground and his neck was broken. Mr. Jones was in his 81st year. He leaves four daughters and two sons.
