  Fatal Accident.
  
  Not for years has Plymouth and the country been in such a state of combined excitement and gloom as was the case Thursday when it became known that Captain George H. Colby had been accidentally shot to death by Policeman Mills, and that Night Operator Thomas McGough had been held up and the money drawer at the railroad ticket office robbed.
  
  This terrible scene, that was enacted while practically all the inhabitants were sleeping in their homes, began about twenty minutes past eleven, when two men approached the ticket window. One produced a gun and commanded operator McGough to keep still, while the other went through the door and behind the counter when he pried open the drawer and took the till which contained about $16.00. They immediately left and McGough lost no time in making the robbery known. Station Agent, Capt. George H. Colby was called and no time was lost in making a pursuit. A team was procured and Engineer Pike took Ferrin, the night watchman at the Pemigewasset, to the upper crossing by team, where it was seen by their fresh tracks in the snow that the robbers had gone up the Pemigewasset Valley Railroad. Ferrin started on foot after them while Pike returned to the hotel. A locomotive had been manned and, carrying Captain Colby with the others started up the railroad while Pike took Officer Mills in the sleigh and went up the highway.
  
  By an understanding before they left Plymouth they were to meet at Livermore Falls and at arriving at this place Mills left the sleigh and went up the track. He found Ferrin there with his gun in hand and as they went up by the pulp mill Ferrin borrowed a lantern which was taken by Mills. On the locomotive coming up to them, a voice from the top of the tender commanded Mills to throw up his hands and he saw the flash of a gun barrel leveled at him in the lantern light. His thought was that the robbers had taken possession of the engine and meant him harm, and not knowing there was another gun in the pursuing party besides the one carried by Ferrin whom he had just left, or was at that moment with, the idea was intensified that one of the robbers was at the end of the gun, and he fired his revolver at the spot from which the end of the barrel came.
  
  In an instant the mistake was known and Officer Mills was at Mr. Colby's side. Mr. Colby was standing when he reached and Mills says he said, "Lewis an awful mistake has been made." Mr. Colby walked with assistance to the sleigh and was brought with all possible haste to the Pemigewasset House but was dead when taken inside.
  
  At the time of the accident it was not thought that Mr. Colby was fatally injured so some attempt would have been made to get a statement from him. The only thought of everyone being to get him to where medical assistance could be rendered without a moment's loss of time. It was found on examination that two shots had taken effect in Mr. Colby's neck between chin and body.
  
  The robbers were followed easily by their tracks in the new fallen heavy snow to Campton Village and during the forenoon two young fellows were arrested at Palmer House. An examination of the room, clothing and effects of their mixed stories fixed the guilt strongly upon them. This party who followed the robbers to Campton Village was accompanied by First Selectman McCoy, who was called when the death of Captain Colby was known.
  
  The two fellows were taken to Plymouth and arraigned, and on pleading nolo were taken to jail in default of bail being furnished. Their names are Kenneth McMurray and Reginald Harris. Worcester is given as their home and their age as eighteen years. It is understood that one of the fellow's father is a man of wealth and a summer visitor to this section.
  
  We understand an inquest will be held.
  
  Funeral services over the remains of Captain Colby will be held Sunday afternoon at the Universalist Church. Special trains will run both ways, leaving Concord and Woodsville at 11 o'clock. Obituary notice and more particulars next week.¹⁰
  
• The Plymouth Record, February 14, 1903 (p. 4) reported:
  Funeral of Capt. Colby.
  
  Despite the hard snowstorm Sunday, one of the largest gatherings of people ever seen in Plymouth on a similar occasion congregated at the Methodist Episcopal Church to attend the funeral services of Capt. George H. Colby, who came to such an untimely and unnecessary death.
  
  The church was filled to the doors with not only townspeople and relatives but by railroad associates, friends and members of the National Guard, special trains were being run from Woodsville, Concord and over the Pemigewasset Valley Railroad to accommodate those wishing to attend. Walter W. Mason had charge of all the arrangements and the whole affair was conducted in Mr. Mason's usual masterly manner.
  
  The body was escorted by Olive Branch Lodge, J. Frank Gould, marshal, and the funeral service was preached by Rev. John Vannevar, pastor of the Universalist Church at Concord and chaplain of the Second New Hampshire Regiment, and was most appropriate for the occasion. The music which was very appropriate and fine was furnished by the Laconia Male Quartet and Mrs Lena Swenning at the organ.
  
  Immediately after the sermon, George B. Blood, Master of the Olive Branch Lodge, proceeded with the sad, but beautiful Masonic burial service, Col. W.H.D. Cochran of Nashua took the opportunity to pronounce a most impressive eulogy over the body of his dead friend. The two were associated with each other at Richmond, Virginia, during the war of 1861 to '65. This brief eulogy and the short prayer offered for Policeman Mills by Reverend Mr Vannevar were two of the most impressive incidents ever brought to our notice. The Masonic officers who took part in the service were George B. Blood, master; Moody Gore, senior warden; A.J. Knowlton, junior warden; the Rev. R.T. Walcott, chaplain. At the close of the service was given to view the face of the dead. The pall bearers were C.C. Shepard, Frank H. Rollins, Frank W. Russell, William R. Kimball, Alvin F. Wentworth, Rodney E. Smythe.
  
  There was a great profusion of most beautiful flowers which included not only those from relatives, friends and associates, but from the National Guard and the members of Mr. Colby's daughters' classes in the school.
  
  The funeral party left here Monday for Manchester and the body was interred in the family lot in Valley Cemetery. There was a large gathering of military men, many of whom enjoyed the personal acquaintance of Captain Colby, awaiting the arrival of the body. Nearly every company of the city was represented, and there was also a delegation from the Sheridan Veteran Association, several members of the G.A.R., and also a number of prominent citizens who were acquainted with the dead soldier.
  
  As the train drew into the depot, the Manchester Military Band, under the leadership of Walter H.S. Jones, played the funeral dirge, and the body was carefully borne to the baggage room. The casket was removed from the oak box and wrapped in the American flag for which Captain Colby had given a number of years' service.
  
  About fifty men of the local militia under the command of Capt. Edward Smith of Company C, fell in line, and, headed by the Manchester Military Band, with Lieut. G.P. Elliott in charge, and followed by the funeral cortege, went to the Valley Cemetery. The officer of the local military companies and the delegation from the Sheridan Veteran Association brought up the rear.
  
  At the grave a brief funeral service was performed by Rev. John Vannevar. Mr. Vannevar made a few remarks relative to the life of the dead man. The usual volley was fired, and taps were sounded by Bugler Edward C. Woods of the battery, formed by the Twenty-sixth United States Volunteers. There was a profusion of floral tributes that were placed on the grave.
  
  There were four honorary bearers from Manchester, who were Tax Collector G.E. Morrill, Daniel W. Lane, F.T.E. Richardson and Maurice A. Holton.¹⁰
• He was buried in Valley Cemetery, Manchester, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire.²
