WRECKED ENGINE KILLS FIREMAN

JOHN DAVIS LOSES LIFE AND JACK DALZELL BADLY INJURED IN CAJON PASS

    Last night, a light engine of the Salt Lake Route, bound from Summit 
to San Bernardino, turned over on the Cajon Pass grade, killing the 
fireman, John DAVIS and seriously injuring Jack DALZELL, the engineer.
The derailed engine was lying across the track when Santa Fe train No. 3 
came upon it.
    It is reported that DAVIS was instantly killed by being caught under 
the engine. DALZELL suffered a broken arm and other injuries and was 
removed to the hospital in Los Angeles.
    Engineer DALZELL is well known in Vegas, having resided here for 
several years prior to moving to San Bernardino. DAVIS, the dead 
fireman, was also at one time running out of Vegas.
    All trains were delayed several hours by the wreck.
