 PEORIA RANCHER

 road Track Near Depot, Is
 Fatally Crushed By Speed 2 ing Passenger Train.

GLENDALE. Oct. 1s.--John Pryor. prosperous rancher of the Peoria dis trict. spent Sunday i'm Glendale. AsI far as knowpble now, he was at peace with the world. His health was good. he had no pressing family cares and his affairs were tn good order. During the afternoon he attended to a few business details and when these had been completed he stepped into a res taurant for a sandwich and cup of coffee.
 Within a few minutes John Pryor was a crushed and lifeless mass of clay beside the railroad track. John Pryor had met the angel of death with out a moments warning and their meeting, though only of a seconds duration, wrote finis at tho end of John Pryor's life.
 Having eaten his sandwich and drunk his coffee. John Pryor walked to the railroad track and sat down on a tie with his back to the rails, near the depot. A man and woman passed him there. and he raised his head to them. but did not speak. Within a few min utes afterward the California Limited thundered down upon him. The head light of the engine was shining and tho whistie was sounded. John Pryor did not see nor hear. The steps of the tender of the giant locomotive struck lfiin. crushing his head like an egg she'll and breaking his ribs. John Pryor died with the taking of a breath. No reason for suicide has been un- covered, and this theory has been aban- doned. He was in the full possession of hs faculties when last seen and be- lief that he might have been under a temporary alteration has also been abandoned. Perhaps, they say. he simply fell into a doze-into sleep whose dreams were broken by the reality of another world.
 No funeral arrangements have been announced for him and search of im- mediate relatives has proved fruitless. He was b5 years of age.
