Engine Strikes Mexican
As the $3.50 train was pulling in
from Fairbank, and when near the
court house. in the railroad yards, a
Mexican by the name of Damasio
Lopez, was injured and had a narrow
escape from death by being run over.
He was lying beside the rails when the
engine struck him n glaBcing blow and
knocked him into the ditch. Dr. Hugh
art was summoned at once and IL was
found that he had sustained five brOk-
en- ribs on his right side beside num-
erOus other bruises about the head
and right arm 1t is said he had been
intoxicated during the day and was
presumably on his way home, when he
fell near the rail and went to sleep.
Engineer Struthers did not see the man
until Il was too late to stop, the mo-
mehtum carrying the train along far
past where the Mexican was living.
