SHEEP HeRpER KILLED.
Guadalupe Maela Laid Down In Front
Of a Train and was Ground
to Pieces,

Friday Guadalupe Macia came In
town from the Hernandez Lake sheep
ranch of u. T. Brown after supplies,
says the Roswell Register. He
bought the heeded articles and went to
drinking. About noon Macia felt so
good that he hired another Mexican
to start out with the wagon toward
the ranch agreeing to overtake II
later. As the passenger train from
the north was bowling along about
1880 p. m. In charge OF Charley Marsh,
n OF the safest engineers on the
Pecos Valley road, about three miles
northeast of town, Marsh saw a Mex
loan walking on the side OF the track
toward the train. When within about
seventy yards OF the fast approaching
engine, the man deliberately stepped
over between the rails and lay down
on his face with his feet toward the
train. The air brake WIS applied. the
whistle sounded and the bell rang. but
II was too late and the train passed
yer the man completely grinding the
body to pieces. After satisfying them
selves that the man was dead the crew
brought the train in and reported the
facts to the authorities. At once a
train was tent out and brought the
remains In and SATURDAY. morning a
coroner's jury heard all the evidence
and decided in accordance with the
above facts.
