| Arizona Weekly Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Wednesday, October 11, 1899, page 2, column 5 Probable Fatal Accident An accident which will probably prove fatal occurred in the railroad yards today. A Mexican had seated himself under a car to protect himself from the rain while a crew was engaged in switching in the yards. The engine ran against a string of cars standing on the siding, when the wheels passed over both legs of the man, cutting the right one off completely and leaving the other hanging by mere shreds. M. Fagan, who witnessed the accident, called his driver and placed the wounded man in a wagon and took him to the Sisters' hospital, but it is no thought that he can live. While his name could not be learned, he is said to be an old and well known prospector, who has lived here for a long time. --------------------------------------------- Arizona Weekly Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Wednesday, October 11, 1899, page 3, column 2 The Mexican injured yesterday in the railroad yards, died today.
