DRUG THOUGHT TO HAVE
BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR
DEATH OF ODD MEXICAN
Jesus Delgado, Recently
Thought Insane, Casts Him
self in Front of Train; Dies.

A Mexican whose name is thought
to be Jesus Delgado was killed last
night when he threw himself in front
of freight train and was cut in two.
The tragedy was enacted near the O.
w. r. & n. depot about 9:35 o'clock
and was witnessed by the night bag
gage man at the station.
Just what was the cause of the
mans act is something of a mystery,
and it probably will never be solved.
The baggage master testified before
the coroner's jury that the man APP
parently deliberately threw himself IN
front of the train. He breathed for
about an hour following the TIRE gedy
although the weight of the rail equip
ment cut his body in two at the waist
line.
The Mexican has been under slr-
veillance for more than a week. he
was picked up by the police and an
examination was made into his condi-
tion. Later he was held in the county
Jail. 1t was thought that he was men
tally incompetent, and he was watch
ed after being released.
a fellow countryman told the coro-
ner this morning that Delgado was an
addict of Mexican hop" and that he
might have been under the influence
Of the drug when he went to his death
under the wheels. The theory thai
Delgado was crazy is secuted by this
countryman who thinks the drug wa
responsible for the queer actions oI
the man
Delgado gave the officers the name
Of f. Gumos, but the name of Delgad'
was written on an o. w. r. & y. en-.
ploye's pass from Pendleton to Barn
hart. The pass was dated July. p
and had never been used.
The coroner's jury had just ahou
completed hearing the testimony IL
the case OF Clarence Snider when in
formation Of the death OF the Mexican
was reported to Coroner Brown. Tn
haggageman was the only witness o
the death. 50 he was taken before III
/ jury and testified. and a verdict o
death by accident was returned.
