CHINESE KILLED BY S.P. TRAIN
Poor old "Chinese Charlie" is no more. He attempted to cross at Locust street in front of a special passenger train leaving Lodi at 4:25 yesterday afternoon and was struck by the front part of the engine and dragged considerable distance. He was brought to Mason hospital where Dr. A.M. Tower attended him. The poor old Chinaman was badly broken up. A number of lacerations about the head required numerous stitches and a long gash on the left arm had to be sewed up. Then there was a compound fracture of the right elbow, which was properly set. Just at the physician had him all patched up, which was at 6 o'clock, he passed away.
Old Charlie had worked about Lodi, New Hope, Woodbridge and Tyson for a number of years. He was a good gardener and quite an expert at pruning trees.
He had only 5 cents in his pockets. The idea is advanced by some that he committed suicide, but it is though he misjudged the distance in crossing in front of the train and moved just a little too slow.
Coroner Warren was notified and will hold an inquest some time today.
