Death of L. Standish Well known Citizen Succumbed Yesterday Following Accident at the Larned Stock Yard A tragic accident that shocked the entire community occurred Tuesday evening when Lawrence Standish, while preparing a carload of horses for shipment at the Larned stockyards, fell and a horse stepped on his abdomen, causing his death yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock. Immediately after the accident, Mr. Standish was rushed to the Larned hospital, but he sank rapidly, and his death occurred yesterday afternoon as a result of internal injuries. Mr. Standish has lived in Larned for many years, and was widely known and respected. Mr. Standish, besides having farming interests, has bought and sold horses and mules for many years, and was well known throughout this section of Kansas.
