There was a fatal railroad accident
at Holbrook Tuesday afternoon about
$50 o'clock, on the departure of No. 2
from that station. G. L. White, who
was connected with the projectoscope
which had been giving exhibitions in
this and Apache county jumped the
train ss it was pulling out, and took his
station on the platform between the
cars. AS the train reached the eastern
end of the yard he was seen leaning
out looking back, to see whether GER
tain person whom he was anxious to
avoid had boarded the cars, when, as he
afterward told his friend Clark the
trucks beneath struck the frogs of the
switch, when he lost his balance and
fell, the wheels of the car almost sew
ering the right leg at the knee, and
crushing the left foot from the instep
TO the toes While in this condition
and sitting on the side of the track, he

took off his outer shirt and bound up
the lacerated stump Of bis right leg

DR.. Dryden was wired for, got special
engine and hastened TO the side of the

fatal. He amputated the leg and part
Of the foot, bat the poor fellow was too
far gone, and died the same evening at
10:30. His parents in San Francisco
were advised by wire, aud a reply from
his father was received, stating that he
would start on the first train. Our
