RESPONSIBILITY NOT FIXED
FOR DEATH OF WOMAN
Neither Engineer Nor Fireman OBJ
served Mrs. j. N. MacDaniels
on Track

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 31.-The
coronor's jury in the investigation OF
the death of Mrs. j. n. McDaniels, who
was struck and killed yesterday morn
ing by a Santa Fe passenger train on
the outskirts of this city, returned the
simple verdict of death by being
struck by train" The jury neither
censured the enginemen nor held that
they were not responsible.
How both the fireman and the engi-
neer could fail to see the woman on
the track, in broad daylight with no
obstruction in view, is a mystery to
railroad men and others who are ac-
quainted with the surroundings. AT
the inquest both the men who were in
the cab testified they saw nothing of
the woman. The fireman, Van Lorin,
stated that he saw the dog. Engineer
w. c. Bond, who was running the To-
comotive, is at a loss to explain how
he could have struck the woman and
killed her at that point without know
ing it.
The little pet for which Mrs. McDan-
iels risked and lost her life was a
Christmas present from her son,
Montana Kid" the prize fighter.
