William Emmett, a brakeman on the road between Benson and 
Nogales, died at Nogales on Wednesday of injuries received 
in falling from the top of a car the day before.  The 
accident happened about six miles north of Nogales.  It 
was found that his skull had been fractured.  It is a 
common saying among railroad men that accidents seldom 
happen to beginners in that dangerous vocation, the reason 
probably being that new men are more careful of themselves.  
This was Emmett's second run and it is said that he was 
without previous railroad experience.
