KILLED BY MOVING TRAIN

Mr. David Masoner of this city passed away at the Ontario hospital Wednesday 
evening from injuries received about one o'clock Tuesday while on his way to 
the Association packing house where he was engaged at work. His home is on the 
west side of the track which necessitates his crossing the track in going to 
work and on Tuesday afternoon when reaching the railroad track, the local 
train was standing on the track with a small opening between two cars. Just as 
he attempted to pass between, the gap was closed for the purpose of connecting 
the train. The brakeman who was on the other side of the train while looking 
to see if the connection was made, noticed a man's cap on the track and 
immediately gave the signal to stop which was done within a few feet. It was 
discovered the unfortunate man had been knocked down and while not run over 
with the wheels of the car was badly bruised and bleeding about the face. Dr. 
Woodward, the railroad physician was immediately called and removed him to the 
office where it was discovered one leg was broken between the knee and the 
ankle, and three ribs broken besides being crushed about the chest. Temporary 
aid was rendered and then taken to the Ontario hospital in a special car which 
was arranged by Agent Johnson. Every aid was rendered that was within the 
power of the physicians and a special nurse employed, but owing to his 
advanced age it was all to no avail and at 9:30 o'clock Wednesday evening 
death came to his relief. So far as we have learned just before going to press 
no funeral arrangements have been made but a full account and an appropriate 
obituary will be published next week.
