bound Los Angeles express, due in this
city at IL :15 this forenoon, collided with

yards at Port Costa shortly before 10
o'clock, with fatal consequences.
The collision occurred on the single
track between Port Costa and Martinez,
near the coal bunkers of the Black Dia-
mond Coal company. The Los Angeles
express was going toward the pier, and
the gravel train was carrying gravel for
the new San Ramon branch, running
toward Martinez. There is double
curve in the road at this point. Evil
IDENTIFY neither engineer saw the other
train approaching until just before the
collision. The engines came together
with terrible crash both were badly
damaged. The mail car of the express
train was smashed. No other cars OF
the express train were damaged. Ten
fat cars were piled up. ss7
THE KILLED AND INJURED.
William J. Jordan, brakeman of the
gravel train, sitting in the cab with the
engineer, was pinned down by the en-
gine and killed.
G.. H. Spurgeon, mail clerk, was
badly injured and died on the train on
the way to Oakland. The body was
taken to the Oakland morgue.

Spurgeon, the dead mail clerk, was a

WHO is TO BLAME?

the gravel train should have been held
at Port Costa until the express passed.

Port Costa for the Southern overland.

ductor Collins and Engineer Moore were
in charge of the gravel train.
