and killed last night by a passenger
named j. w. Knorsa, who was en- route
from San Franciso to New York CITY,
and who had gone insane on tho train.
He imagined he was pursued by a
mob with rope, who were threatening
to hang him. He escaped from the
train at this point, and, after threaten
ing the lives of some OF the switchmen
with revolver, took refuge behind
some cars near the icehouse The night
Waterman, assisted by City Marshal
Oren Gemmel, went in search of him.
While in the act of crossing the coup
lings between the coal cars he suddenly
saw Knorsa right in front of him with
revolver pointed at him. Lampkin COM
manded him to drop his revolver and
throw up his hands or he would shoot
him. Instead of doing so Knorsa fired.
The ball entered Lampkin's neck, kill
