On Thursday afternoon as the
passenger train which left here for
Arizona in the morning was cross
ing the Colorado desert, when
about three miles west of Dos
Palmas, a man was seensto stagger
and fall. Conductor Bowling had
the train stopped and took the man
aboard. Everything possible was
done to relieve him, out without
success, the man dying in about

aboard. Deceased was Il stranger

the other side of the dangerous
place. Subsequent examination
showed that it would be impossible
to cross the engine back to this
side. 1t was consequently run into
Pantano and the party took the
mails, which had arrived on u
hand-car, and carried them over
the bridge, where they awaited the
arrival of another engine from
Tucson, which was dispatched to
