RIVERSIDE, Jan. 13.-The dead body Of
man aged about 65 years was found
by number Of prospectors Saturday
evening in Salt Creek canyon, four
miles south of Perris. There WAS
nothing found upon the man to give
any information as to who he was, but
from information received at the coun-
ty hospital and the description given
by Coroner Sherman, who held an in
quest on the body Sunday, it is sup
posed to be the body of a man who left
the hospital one week ago last Satur-
day. His name was James Boles.
A man called at the house of J. A..
Maxfield, some miles from where the
body was found, Sunday week ago,
for something to eat, stating that he
WAS from Riverside and on the way to
visit sister named Mrs. Snyder at
Wildomer.
From the emaciated condition of the
body, DR.. Sherman thinks the man
died from starvation. He must have
lost his way, if not demented, and wan
dered into the place where found. 1t
was necessary to carry the remains
nearly mile to reach a wagon road.
TRAIN DERAILED
While the early morning train from
Eisinore was passing up the canyon
about five miles south of Perris this
| morning the two rear coaches, the bag
gage, EXPRESS aud mail Car, and the
passenger coach, left the track, aud
after being dragged for about hun
dred yards were turned over on their
sides into the ditch. Beside the con-
ductor, engineer and baggageman there
were seven passengers, among whom
we're DR.. T. f. Ellis, foreman of the
grand jury, and l. H. Gruwell, a men,
Der of the same body, both of Elsinore,
and M. w. Stimson of Los Angeles.
From tho two Eisinore gentlemen it
is learned that the two cars we're pret-
ty badly smashed up. The baggage
man, W. B. Dean, was badly hurt, hav-
ing been thrown through the baggage
car door and caught under the Car
when it turned over. He had several
ribs broken. The other passengers,
while not very badly hurt, we're con-
siderably shaken up and knocked about,
all feeling little sore. Mr.. Gruwell
WAS thrown into one corner Of the car,
when it was turned over with the
stove on top of him.
Neither DIR. Ellis nor Mr.. Gruwell
could give any information as to the
cause of the accident.
| The injured man and the passengers
! were taken on the engine and carried
| into Herris, Dean being taken on to
San Bernardino, while the passengers
took the first freight train in from San
Jacinto to East Riverside, and came
in from there on the motor.
