Raving Maniac

commodation.

the track for long distance. Shrieks
of men injured and dying filed the air,
and, adding to the horror OF the scene,
the cars caught fire and the flames
made rapid headway.
Conductor McAllister, of the Boul-
der train, although uninjured by the
crash, became immediately a raving
maniac from the shock and kno Wedge
probably that his train should not
have been where it was.
The rear coach of the Boulder ac-
commodation train contained about
twenty pssseng gers nearly all OF whom
were fatally or seriously injured. The
list of the dead and dying is as fol-
lows:

gage master.

KILLED NIGHT
Body of a Railroad Man Sup
posed To Be Frank Kelly
FOUND AT ALFALFA

Not Known BY Which Train He
Was Killed-Formerly Employed
On the Santa Fe
AS the G. b. passenger train passed
Alfalfa, three miles and a half east OF
Ell Paso, this morning, both Engineer
Mast and Conductor Allen saw a man,
evidently dead, lying alongside OF tn e
track. When the train pulled in at
l1:3O. they tnotified the coroner. who
left at 30 to bring in the body and to
ascertain, if possible. the facts in the
case.
The man killed seems from papers
found in his possession to have been
either a fireman or a shopman in the
EN- ploy of the Santa Fe railroad.
When Coroner Spencer reached the
scene of the accident, a mile west OF
Alfalfa, he found sthe body cold and
stiff lying alongside the track.
External appearances indicated that
the man must have been killed during
the night. The left leg was cut off en-
tirely and the right leg was badly
crushed, and if the immediate acci-
dent had not been fatal, the poor fel-
low must have bled to death.
In his pockets were found receipts
dated San Marcisl, and one of these
was a road tax, indicating that he must
have been a resident and tax payer
there. In his pocket also was found q
pass of date Nov. Is, 1899, good from
Rincon to San Marcial.
The pass was issued on account OF
the bearers connection with the
mechanical department OF the road.
The theory is tnat he was formerly
a shopmsn at San Marcial, that he
was let out when the force there was
reduced recently, and that he was
probably hunting job.
He must have been travelling on
freight, and may have been beating
his way.
The incoming passenger from which
Engineer Mast first saw the body this
morning did not passAlfslfa until after
IL O'Clock, and the last passenger
previous to that had gone through at
$50 last night.
The body was brought in to the un-
dertaking establishment of Nagley and
Lyons this afternoon. Further inves-
tigation disclosed the fact that the
head was badly mashed. The man was
about twenty-five years OF age, with
brown hair and sandy mustsche and
was dressed in q pair of corduroy trous-
ers and a gray coat.
Inquiry at the local Santa Fe
Offices broug ht out no Information and
no man named Kelly is employed on
this end of the division.
The matter will be referred to the
local order of firemen and if the de-
ceased is found to be fireman in good
standing, every attention will be
given to furnishing him with proper
burial.
According to Chief Dispatcher Nc
Neal of the G. H., the last train to pass
Alfalfa before the passenger this morn
ing was an extra freight which went
by there at $50. The crew on that
train, however, did not report seeing
the dead mau, and he may have been
making his way on that train. and
have fallen off.
The only Kelly running out OF here
in M. Kelly, the engineer on the S. P.
who went out west all right this morn
ing.
