J.J. Blessington, a brakeman on the Southern Pacific 
was killed last Thursday near Lancaster, Cal., by a 
freight train.  While climbing a steep grade the 
train broke in two.  Blessington happened to be on 
the rear end of the car from which the rear section 
broke away.  The lurch caused him to fall upon the 
track and before he could get out of the way the 
rear section of the train rolled over him, cutting 
his body into fragments and causing instant death.  
Mr. Blessington was employed on this division two 
years ago and was well known in Yuma.
