LAS VEGAS AGE
3/7/1914

FATAL ACCIDENT

        A man was found lying beside the track by the crew of an extra 
train at 6 o'clock Thursday morning near Rox.  He was picked up and 
found to be severely injured.  He was brought in Las Vegas and placed in 
the Las Vegas hospital, but died at 6 that evening, without having 
regained consciousness.
    Investigation proved the name of the deceased to be A. D. GALLEHUE, 
formerly a cook at the Busy Bee restaurant at Plainview, Texas.  He had 
been about Vegas several days and beat his way on No. 20 to Rox station 
where he was put off the train by Conductor COOK.  It is supposed the 
unfortunate man climbed aboard No. 8, which came along soon after, and 
fell off that train at a point ten miles farther on.  His injuries were 
mostly to his head.  He had been drinking heavily, it is said.  He has a 
sister living in Washington, D. C. and word from her is awaited before 
interring the remains.
