Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-10-12

An unknown Indian was run
over and killed by railroad train
on Alameda street yesterday morn
Ing. 1t appears from the testimo-
ny OF several persons who wit
messed the accident that the un.
fortunate man appeared to be un-
der the influence of liquor, and in
attempting to climb on car while
the train was in motion, he fell
between two cars. The spectators
at once signalled the brakemen,
but before the train could be
stopped twelve cars had passed
over the prostrate body, severing
the left leg below the knee, mang-
ling both arms and inf1icting a
deep cash on the head. The re-
mains were taken to the under
taking rooms of E. Naitzke & Co.,
where an inquest was held, the
jury rendering verdict exonerat-
ing the railroad employees from
blame.
