F ataI Accident.

Brakeman Henry C. Moss was
instantly killed at 6:25 a m Tues
day, TAT Houck, Arizona, when
he was struck by passenger.train
No 8, and thrown several teet
striking on his head fracturing
his skull and breaking nearly
every bone in his body.
Mr.. Moss was head brakeman
for Conductor Rohles on the
cinder train, which had taken
the siding to let No. 8 pass, and
only a minute before he was
killed he spoke to Conductor
Rohles about the passenger train
which was due. He then walk
ed up the track toward the en-
gine, having evidently forgotten
the on-coming passenger train,
or failed to hear it, because of
the bloW-off cock being open on
the freight engine. Engineer
Day, of the cinder train. saw
him as the passenger train was
within a few feet of him, but
too late to even signal to him
his danger. He said that Mr..
Moss evidently realized his dan
ger because a second before the
engine struck him he crouched as
though to jump. The engine
crew on No. 8 failed to see him
because Of a sharp turn in the
railroad track at that place.
| Conductor Rohles was the first
to reach the unfortunate man,
but nothing could be done for
him. as it was evident from
the extent of his injuries that he
died before striking the ground.
An inquest was held at Houck,
B. A. Rohles acting as foreman,
and Immediately afterward the
body was brought to Winslow,
where he has made his home for
the past ten years. Mr.. Moss
leaves a wife and child, who are
now in Texas, a mother who
lives in Williams, a sister, Miss
Dee NJ. Moss, county recorder at
Holbrook, and a brother living
in this city.
He was one of the most popu-
lar men in the Santa F'e service
and has legions of friends who
were shocked at the news of his
death. The remains were taken
to Ranger, Texas, the old home,
for interment. The local body
of the 0. r. c., OF which the de-
ceased was a member, escorted
the body from the home to the
train, silent testimonial to his
sterling worth.
