station two men were seen there
who Twill subsequently be found
dead in the wreck, and who are as yet un-
identified. These men, it is thought, were

grade to get it away from help, and in a
position where the freight car could be
robbed. Being inexperienced, they lost

before reaching Tehachapi, while two men
were found in the wreck in that portion
of the train which kept on the track.
