OAKLAND. March 14.-After nine
years of faithful toll in the Southern
Pacific Railroad yards at West Oak
land, John Fara was this morning run
down by q shunted freight and fatally
mangled The accident occurred at 90
o'clock. while Faria was engaged in
tightening a defective switch. Five
minutes more would have placed him
safely at home with his family, for his
nights work concluded at $50 a. NJ
The injured man was hastily conveyed
to the Receiving Hospital, where ne
soon died.
Faria was employed as section
hand For nine years he had labored
at the yards, working up from a COM
parative novice in railroading to in
spector of tracks. He was on night
duty this month. This morning he
was STOPPING over a switch which he
found loose, and was tightening the
binding bolts wheen switch engine
bore down upon him. FaHa did not
notice the approaching engine until it
came dangerously near, and then in his
alarm he leaoed and threw himself
across the adjacent track.
This movement would have placed
the man entirely out of danger but for
a section of freight cars that was be-
ing shunted and which quickly ap-
preached from the opposite direction.
Before the PROSTATE man could collect
his wits or make q turn to save MIN
self from the impending danger the
cars were upon him and crushed his
legs to a pulp The right leg was
crossed at the hip joint, where gap
ing wound was cut by the fange. The
left leg was completely severed imme-
diately below the knee joint.
Apparently the accident was not Wit
messed by any spectators, for not until
the agonzing cries of the crippled man
We're heard did the switchmen hasten
to his relief
Faria was lifted from the track and
carried to the freight house. The patrol
was summoned and efforts were made
to check the flow of blood, but despite
all the care, before the wagon could
reach that distant spot the poor man
was nearly drained of blood
Faria had a family consisting of
wife and TWO children, who resided
with him at 1861 Atlantic street.
