Accident on the North Pacific
Coast Railroad.
Hand-Car Containing Carpenters Run Down
by a Freight Train.
Two Men Instantly Killed and Another Fa-
tally Injured COrOner'S Inquest on
the Remains Of the Victims.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

SAN RAFAEL, Oct. 6-This morning a
crew Of carpenters on the North Pacific
Coast Railroad left Tomales at Gas o'clock.
They were to work on trestle about four
miles above Tomales. The crew was CON-
posed of seven men. They left Tomales on
a hand-car about Eve minutes before the
northward bound freight-train. Before
leaving the foreman, Donald Chick, told
Engineer Pierce Elliott that they would run
ahead Of the freight-train and for him to
keep a sharp lookout for the hand-car. The
freight-train left TOmales on time, but ow-
ing to heavy fog then prevailing it was
impossible to see more than five hundred
feet ahead.
About one mile north of Tomales Engineer
Elliott saw the hand-car ahead. The grade
was precipitous and the fog had made the
track slippery. Elliott whistled for the
brakes, and the trainmen, knowing the hand
car was ahead, responded with alacrity, but
the impetus the train had already gained
could not be overcome, and the train dashed
into the hand-car just as it reached Fallon's
trestle.
FOREMAN GulCh saw Iuo IEdlu dpplOdVi-
ing when the hand-car was about two hun
dred feet from the trestle, and he jumped
from the car 10 flag the freight-tran. One
of the crew on the hand-car saw Chick sig
mailing the approaching train, and thinking
it was signal for those on the hand-car to
jump for their lives, threw himself from the
car. The others tried to increase the speed
of the car, but it was impossible to gain up
on the pursuing train. They had trayersed
about one hundred feet of the treStle when
the locomotive overlook them.
The car was thrown to the northwa rd of
the trestle Edward w. Seery and HrDry
Miles fell with the car. William Proctor,
another of the crew, fell south of the trestle
The distance from the top of the trestle is
seyenty-ive feet 1t is supposed that Seery
aud Miles died instantly. Proctor lived for
about one hour. The freight-train stopped.
picked the men up and took them back TO
TUmales. Proctor still retained his speech
and made several incOhereDt remarks alter
being brought to TOmales. The last words
he exclaimed were, Lift my head; please
stop your fooling." He then lay back and
expired.
The remains presented a sickening spec
tacle, Seery'S head was almost ground into
a pulp. Miles body was badly bruised, his
ribs being terribly fractured and almost en-
trely dislGcat-d from the breast-bone.
Proctor was badly bruised about the head
and his right leg was fearfuly contorted.
Coroner Eden arrived at TOmales at l 10
O'Clock, on a special train, and Immediately
impaneed a jury. The Coroner and jury
viewed the scene of the occurrence and re-
turned TO TOmaes. An inquest was held,
and after the testimony was heard the jury
returned a verdict of accidental death,
caused by the collision of engine 10 and
hand-~ar, on which deceased were riding;
and furthermore ind that no blame can 5e
attached to any one.
