C.L. WHITE
Feb 15, 1898

Last week a young man named C.L. White was run over by a passenger 
train  at Holbrook and died a few hours later.  He was waving 
"good bye" to his friend C.M. Clark and just at that moment the 
coach struck the switch and he lost his balance, falling off the 
platform and under the wheels. Depot officials were notified and 
Dr. R.C. Dryden, the Sante Fe Pacific surgeon at Winslow came on 
a special engine to Holbrook. He examined the unforutnate man and 
found a terrible injury on the head, besides the right leg mangled 
off above the knee and the left leg cut off above the ankle.  He 
and Clark were partners in a projectorscope show and had just 
returned to Holbrook from a tirp through the Navajo country. His 
parents reside in San francisco and the father came on to take 
charge of the remains. Alonzo Hailey, a wealthy merchant of 
Globe, as an uncle of the deceased.  White's partner, Clark 
was a Prescott man but lived more recently in Jerome.  While 
White was in Jerome, Clark bought out White's partner and had 
been two months on the road with the man who was killed.
