Reno Evening Gazette December 6, 1881
Killed by the Cars
This morning a light engine brought to Reno J. W. Adams, who was found this
morning lying on the railroad track at bridge 26 above Verdi.  He had been run
over by the train and his legs and body badly crushed.  He was taken to the
County Hospital, where he died this afternoon.  Adams was a native of Lynn,
Massachusetts, and has been working in Truckee as a carpenter.  A friend who
knew him in Truckee says that he should have had some money on his person.  None
was found.  It is supposed that Adams was riding on the brake beam and fell off.
