Butte MAN Is DEAD
IN Los ANGELES
HOSPITAL
JOHN A. BARTA DIES AS RESULT
OF PECULIAR ACCIDENT ON
STREET CAR.

Los Angeles, June 30.--(Special)--
John A. Barta of Butte, Mont, aged 60,
well-known pioneer OF that state.
died early this morning at the county
hospital as a result Of fractured skull
sustained last week ..hen he fell, or
was thrown, from an East First street
car. The coroner held an Inquest this
afternoon but failed to place the re-
sponsibility for the accident. Mr.. Barta
leaves two sons, William IT,, and
John r., lawyers who live In Butte.
He was injured June 22. Little was
known of him and no inquiries were
made to the police or hospital authori-
ties regarding his welfare. The police
conducted an investigation and found
that Mr.. Barta was employed as a
bookkeeper and lived in First street
He had just returned from Murietta
Hot Springs, where he went for his
health, when he was injured. When
he was taken to the hospital on the
night of June 22, he was unconscious.
An examination was made and 1t was
found that he had sustained a frac-
ture of the skull, broken leg. severe
bruises and internal INJURIES. Only once
did Mr.. Barta regain consciousness,
and then he WAS so dazed he could
not tell about the accident or ask to
have any rela. es notified. In his un-
consciousness he was In delirium for
some time and muttered repeatedly,
Don't throw me Off" This, and the
fact that several persons who saw the
man fall, said he seemed to have been
pushed or thrown from the car, led to
an investigation. The conductor said
he was In the front part of the car
and knew nothing of the accident until
the motor stopped at the behest Of
pedestrians. Few facts were developed
at the inquest this afternoon. The yer.
diet was that he came to his death ,"as
the result of a street railway accident

tion ahead. He stopped as quickly as
possible, but not before the train
crashed into ties and telegraph poles
placed across the track.
Crack Of Revolvers.
When the train hit 1t was at first
believed by the passengers that there
had been collision. However the
crack of revolvers acquainted them
with the real caCse. AS the train
stopped, several Of the passengers
alighted 10 ascertain the trouble. Their
presence drew the fire OF the masked
men, and there vas stampede to re-
enter the cars.
