WITH DEATH WANTED.
UNITED PRnss InAsnD VIM. !


San Diego, Calf, April 27.-De-
tectives in an auto are searching the
country surrounding the village Of
Sorrento, just north of here on the
Santa Fe railroad for a well dressed
stranger who has been flirting with
death to the CONSERVATION of the ru-
ralists in that vicinity for the last
two days.
The man takes delight in waiting
on the Santa Fe track for the ap-
proach of a train. He holds his
ground until the train has almost
struck him and then dives head first
from the roadbed and laughs.
He seated himself in the aisle of
the track on his suit case yesterday.
He sat there until a passenger en-
gine was within a few yards of him
when he rolled off the track. His
suit case was run over and his ef-
fects scattered along the track. He
has refused water and food offered
him by the ranchers and villagers
and remarks with apparent delight
that he is going to starve himself.
