OBITUARY:
TRANSIENT KILLED ON RAILWAY TRACK
A nap on the Oregon Electric rails at the foot of Mission street proved fatal to Jimmy Morris, itinerant cherry picker early Sunday morning, a freight train running over him before the train's headlights could pick him out. Dick Moss, engineer of the train, said it was approaching on a curve and that Morris was apparently asleep.
The deceased was identified by companions of a jungle camp on Owens street, Lee Leford and J. R. Carson. All three had been picking cherries recently on the Christofferson place five miles south of town. It was said that Morris claimed to have an uncle, John E. Morris, in Dallas, Texas, and a brother working for a cold storage firm there. The body is being held for possible directions from relatives, which had not come last night.
