  Died - INGELS -- near Hollister, June 15, 1887, Roscoe, youngest son of B.F. and Martha J. INGELS, aged 20 years, 8 months, and 26 days.  At 11 o'clock, on Wednesday, the idlers about San Benito street were startled at beholding Cory INGELS galloping up the street, riding a horse covered with foam, and lashing him to the utmost speed. The cause of this unwonted haste was soon learned. Roscoe INGELS, the youngest son of Mr. B.F. INGELS, had been at work haying for some days. On Wednesday he was engaged in storing hay in one of the large barns on the ranch, by means of a huge derrick fork from the header-wagon drawn up in front of the barn-door. Ross had taken the fork, pushed it into the hay, the horse had started, and the fork commenced to move with its huge load. Not running to suit him, Ross, as is often the custom, jumped onto the load to steady it, and was riding into the barn upon it, when suddenly the fork pulled out, turned over, and one of the sharp end-times struck Ross, going through the clothing, penetrating his stomach to a depth of over 4 inches. Ross shouted for the driver to stop his horse, pulled himself loose from the cruel fork, and rushed from the barn, but fell at the door. He was carried gently to the house, where it was soon discovered that the injury was severe. Cory INGELS leaped on a saddle-horse, and running to Hollister, soon had Dr. CREPIN and Lauron INGELS at the ranch. Everything was done for the boy that love and medical skill could devise; but all in vain. The tine had entered the abdominal cavity, and it is also thought that in its crooked course it pierced the intestines. The accident occurred at 10:20 o'clock. For 2 hours the poor boy lingered in great agony, and at 10 minutes to one he breathed his last, his farewell words being Good-by, everybody. The news of his death cast a gloom over the entire community. Well-known and having a host of friends, Ross was a general favorite, and his genial ways and generous disposition made him a welcome guest at every gathering. He was of unusually massive frame, and his strength and courage were recognized everywhere.The funeral took place from the Methodist Church, yesterday, at half-past 2 o'clock, the Native Sons of the Golden West, of which he was a member, attending in a body. In the absence of Rev. W.B. PRIDDY and the illness of Rev. R. BOYNS, Rev. Dr. REDDICK, the Presiding Elder of the M.E. Church, South, conducted the funeral exercises.
