"Klamath Falls Friends Mourn Loss of Youth Killed by Fall"
Klamath Falls, Or., Aug. 24

   Horace G. Cox, whose death followed a fall from a power line pole Wednesday evening, was a young man whose loss is deplored by all who knew him.  He was a graduate in 1911 of the Klamath County High School, and had taken one year in the Oregon Agricultural College.  He was taking a correspondence course in law in the University of Oregon, preparatory to taking the full law course in the University of California at Berkeley.

   He had been in the employ of the California and Oregon Power Company for something over a year at the time of his death attending to the street lights, and at times working on new lines.  He was outside his regular lines.  He was outside his regular duties when he met his death, but it is supposed that, seeing trouble on the wires, he, considering the interests of the company more than his own safety, undertook to repair the trouble.  

   He was a son of the late Dr. Horace Cox.
