A SURFMAN'S FATE.
Killed by a Dummy ON the Ocean
Beach Railroad.
Run Down as He Was Returning From Tour
of Duty His Fatal Over-Confdsnce.
Result Of the Inquest.

Henry Clinton, surfman No. of the
Golden Gate Life-saving Station, was on
his way back from his o'clock watch at
Point Lobos yesterday morning, and took
the track at the Beach Depot to reach the
station for his o'clock watch.
Shortly after he passed the depot the 1871
o'clock train, in charge of engineer John
Sparks, drew out on its way to the Haight-
street terminus, and in moment was close
upon the man, who was walking leisurely
in the middle of the roadway.
To warn him of the proximity of the
Train the engineer blew the whistle. when,
instead of clearing the track he jumped
directly in front of the engine ana was at
once run down and dreadfully mangled.
Word was Immediately sent to the Life
Station for assistance, and by means of
lack-ScreWs the remains were taken from
beneath the dummy and cared for until the
arrival OF the MOrgue wagon. The accident
happened midway between the station and
the depot.
The only possible explanation of the acct
dent IS that during the late storm but one
track was in use on the road-the eastern
track-While yesterday the old order of
things was put in force, and the city-bound
train ran on the. west track. Clinton evil
IDENTIFY did not know of the change, and as
he failed to look around when the whis-
tie blew he was killed before he even had an
idea OF his danger.
Clinton was Dane, ~ years of age, and
had been connected with the Lfe-saving
Service for five years. He was a steady, re-
liable man, and was we'll liked by all his
comrades. His superior officer, CAPTAIN L.
j. Hallahan, also speaks very highly OF him.
He leaves child-a girl of years-who is
now entirely unproyided for, as her mother
died some years ago.
An inquest was held on the remains yes
terday afternoon, when verdict of acci-
dental death was returned by the Coroner's
jury.
John Sparks, the engineer, was arrested
and booked at the Central Station on a
charge OF manslaughter, but was subse-
quently released on his own rec0gnizance
by Judge Xix.
