Life of Adventure Shaped by Death of C D Harrison
The former deputy warden of a federal penitentiary, C D Harrison, died after being crushed by a passing train at Union Station. His career spanned frontier days when he helped capture Geronimo and earned a congressional gold medal for saving three lives. He survived a 1890 forest river crossing, aided a stranded stagecoach party, and earned praise from Washington before retirement.
