NARROWLY ESCAPES
DEATH BY THIRST
S. &. ChiapelIa Rescued Just
In Time to Save His Life.
Near Disaster While Re-
turning To Vegas.

S. E. Chiapella, mining engineer
escaped death from thirst by
rare good fortune yesterday.
He was looking after mining
locations on clay deposits in the
dry and desolate country miles
west of Kaolin He left the camp
about daylight Thursday morning
with two men to do the location
work. The men finished the
work and went back to camp, but
Chiapella, desiring to look over
the country further, took a walk
of some distance in the heat
About $3.50 Thursday afternoon
he found himself becoming dizzy
and ill., Attempting to climb the
hill out of the wash to get back
to camp, mis- strength failed him
and he fell and rolled down the
slope.
In the meantime the men who
had been doing the work return
ed to the place where Chiapella
had left them and placed a can
teen of water and some lemons
there for him. Chiapella man.
aged to get back to the place
but failed to find the water.
Knowing that he must have
water or perish Chiapella explor-
ed the washes in the vicinity as
far as his strength would permit
and about five o'clock Friday
morning came to a place where
there was some wet sand and a
little water. This was sufficient
to partially revive him and he
remained there until found by
Francisco Leal, Mexican trailer,
who came upon him about four
o'clock Friday afternoon.
Chiapella was then in
a serious condition, his heart
beating furiously in an effort to
supply the fast diminishing supply
of moisture in his system to the
vital parts.
Chiapella's companions man
aged to get him into Kaolin be
tween and o'clock last even
ing.
In the meantime word had been
received by DR.. Mildren that
Chiapella had persisted. Later
this was corrected by the state
ment that ne was still alive when
found.
DR.. Milrren and Fred Penning
ton driving the ambulance, left
Vegas about 1880 last evening and
found Chiapella at Overton where
he rad been taken. AS soon as
practicable Chiapella was put in
the ambulance for thetrip to
Vegas
At the railroad crossing in the
Moapa Valley, near Overton,
the ambulance started to turn
over. AS the machine hung in
balance DR.. Mildren leaped out
and rescued his patient. Then
the wheels of the machine sank
farther INFO the soft sand and the
ambulance reclined almost on its
side
After working about an hour
and a half, while Chiapella lay
Pennington and some Indians
aged to right the ambulance.
The journey was resumed and
who came along in a Ford, man
they arrived in Las Vegas at
200 this morning.
Chiapella is much improved to-
day and after a little rest at
the Las Vegas Hospital, will be
entirely recovered.
In an interview with the Age
today Mr.. Chiapella states that
his life was saved by those who
went to such effort to find and
rescue him and that he is extreme
ly grateful to all who assisted.
Except for his good fortune in
finding the water in the sandy
wash just at the critical moment,
he would have died within a short
time.

SLEEPING ON TRACK
TWO DIE INSTANTLY
Earl RameY and j. r. King
of GranoIa. Kansas, Man
gIed BY Train No. 7 Last
Monday Evening.

Two men were instantly killed
ard their bodies torn into un-
recognizable masses of mangled
flesh and bone, as the result of
going to sleep on the track of
the Union Pacific Railroad last
Monday evening.
Almost positive Identification of
the men has been made through
the officers of Salt Lake City in
reply to wired descriptions of the
two victims, as Earl Ramey Tor
Ramsey and ]. r. King, said to
have come from Granola, Kansas.
According to Salt Lake officers,
two young fellows answering the
descriptions were in jail in Salt
Lake City recently and fellow
prisoners there learned enuOgh of
the two to assist in making the
Identification.
All doubt of the identity Of the
two victirs was removed this
morning when photograp phs from
U. P. Special Officers at
Salt Lake City were received
by Special officer Woody. who
at once recognized them.
The coroner's jury, consisting
of Fred Pennington, E. A. Blum
and R. E. Lake, after hearing the
evidence last Wednesday. return
ed a verdict to the effect that
they were unable to ascertain
the names of the victims of the
accident; that the men met death
about 1885 p. m. July IL; and
that the L. A. & S. L. Railroad
Company, Union Pacific System,
and it's employees are free from
blame in the death of these per-
sons.
A. w. Woody, special officer of
the U. P, testified that he talked
with the two men about $3.50 or
S:45 that evening. after they had
been taken off the trucks of a p
F. E. car by Mr.. Marshall. He
said the two boys said they were
looking for place to sleep and
he told them to go over in the
park, which they would find a
much nicer place to sleep than
under cars. They went in the di-
rection of the park and that was
the last he saw Of them. One was
a boy of about 16 and the other
a young man of about 20 years
old.
VIM. P. All, engineer of the
train, stated that the first he
knew Of the accident was when
his fireman, N. L. Gunnels. hol-
lered We've run over somebody"
He Immediately threw the train
into emergency and stopped as
quickly as possible. That they
found one mangled body under
the tank of the engine and the
other under the fifth coach. He
did not see the men on the track
before they were hit.
Fireman N. L. Gunnels testified
that ne saw the two men lying
on the track just before the train
reached them. That they seem
ingly started to rise just before
the engine hit them. That ii
was impossible for the train to
be stopped in time to keep from
running over them. That the
train was running 40 to As miles
an hour at the time.
Fred Pennington, proprietor of
the Las Vegas Funeral Home,
who prepared the remains for
burial. testified that there was
nothing on the clothing of the
bodies to identify them. That the
only thing found ON them was
a sample lip rouge stick. That
the bodies were so terribly man
gled that recognition would be
impossible.
