FATAL ACCIDENT.
An Unknown Man Run Over by the Cars
on the California Pacific.


on the California Pacific.
Yesterday afternoon, about go, as the
local passenger train for San Francisco was
nearing Webster. station about eight or
ten miles from this city on the California
Pacific, man was observed by the engineer
standing in the middle of the long trestle
work near that station, who was apparently
thinking of some plan to get out of the
way of the coming train. Instead of jump
ing down or suspending himself from the
ties, he went to the outer edge of the trestle,
and took a stand, thinking that he would
be out of the way of the moving cars. AS
the train whizzed by the lower step of one
of the cars struck the unfortunate man on
the shoulder, and in his efforts to keep from
falling to the ground he caught hold of the
rails with both hands. The wheels of the
cars passed over them, an mangled them
in horrible manner. The train was
stopped, and the injured man taken TO
Davisville, and thence upon the arrival of
the Knights Landing train was brought to
this city. DR.. Bates, of Davisville, accom-
panied the man to Sacramento, and before
the train reached the depot had his patient
under the influence of chloroform. From
the train the injured man was taken 10 the
County Hospital. His right hand was a
fearful sight. The tendons and veins hung
out of his wrist, and the hand was lacerated
in an undesirable manner He was also
injured in the chest and shoulder.
DR.. 6. A. White, the Superintendent of
the hospital, telephoned to this office that
the unfortunate individual died from his
injuries at 7:20 P. NJ. He is stranger here.
and there was nothing on his person that
tended to show who he was. He was of
medium hight, sallow complexion, heavy,
thick black beard, dark coat, blue overalls,
and brogan shoes. He had with him a
cattle whip, and was apparently laboring
man, 40 or so years of age.
