ROYAL CkYsTAL,salI neysr set IAsa.
The Opelousas courier., 1893-12-16

On the evening of Friday the 1st
inst. negro passenger on the regular
west bound Southern Pacific train,
holding ticket for Washington, st.
Landry parish, died between Brous-
sardville and Lafayette. On the ar
rival of the train here at A o'clock the
body was unceremoniously dumped on
the ground near the depot, where we
are informed it remained until the pas
senger train came along Saturday even
ing when the railroad company again
took it in charge and carried it to
Washington. We believe the railroad
company is entirely at fault in this
matter. The man was accompanied
by two friends and relatives and there
was no question but what he died
natural death. The railroad company
base their action on the necessity for n
investigation as to the cause of death
by local authorities when none was re-
quired and the town authorities very
correctly refused to assume any respon-
sibility in the premises. We do not
believe viewing of the body even was
required under the law. The case of
this passenger may be likened to the
death from natural cause, in the pres
ence OF accompanying friends of guest
at hotel, and in such case We do not
believe the Intervention of a coroner
is required. But conceding it to be
necessary we think that different treat
ment to the body of deceased passen-
ger from what ever cause he may have
died should be required of common car
riers by law, than was given in this
case. LA fayette Advertiser.
