Two Men Found Dead on the South

| |
Two Men Found Dead on the South
ern Pacific Track-other News.
Ed. mickey made application for
a "job" on the Southern Pacific,
and yesterday at II o'clock noon
was told to go to work by the sec
ton foreman, whose force was at
work about four miles east of East
| Bernard, a station on that road.
mickey was naturally happy on
having secured employment, after
having been idle probably for
months. He had worked about
two hours when he suddenly and
unexpectedly dropped dead on the
| track. Justice of the Peace Jones,
of East Bernard, was sent for, who
held an inquest over the dead
body. His verdict of the death
has not been learned, but it is eX-
pected that death was caused by
heart failure. 1t is not known
whether he has a family, and it is
likely his remains will be inferred
at East Bernard.
j. z. Malone, proprietor of the
railroad lunch counter at Rosen-
berg was found dead on the South
ern Pacific track between Rosen-
berg and Richmond, yesterday
morning. The cause of his death
is not known. The body was pick
ed up by a Southern Pacific train
and taken to Richmand for inter-
ment.
HEAVY WAsHOUTS REPORTED.
According to reports from Pecos
the Southern Pacific track east of
the railroad bridge is washed
away one-half or three quarters of
a mile, and trains from the east
cannot reach Pecos for several
days. Reports of washouts also
come from the west so that PecOs
City is completely shut off from
communication with the outside
world. The damage done by river,
which is higher than ever known,
to farms and irrigation canals is
very great. The high water from
the river has also greatly damaged
the track of the Pecos Valley rail-
road and trains will not arrive
over the same for week perhaps.
WILL REMAIN HERE ONE DAY.
The Southern Pacific offices, over
the passenger depot, look some
what deserted since the familiar
countenances of Division Superin-
tendents John McQueeny, Dave
Forbes, Superintendent Hank
Small, of buildings and bridges,
and ROadmaster Blue are not to be
seen. Their desks are all closed,
and they are out west with the in
spection party. The party is eX-
pected in San Antonio either to
morrow or the next day. The Of
ficials will spend one day in this
city, and then proceed on the trip
east, as far as New Orleans, stop
ping over at Houston.
