     This morning, at 7:50, Michael McManus was instantly killed by a piece of timber 12x12 and 20 feet long falling on him. The gang of men at work on the Santa Fe railroad bridge about a mile from town, under charge of Mr. Humphrey, went to work this morning, according to the testimony at the coroner's inquest, and divided its force--part to work on the bridge, and the others under the bridge or on the ground. The passenger train on this road going south leaves the depot at 7:45, and in a few minutes after leaving, passed over the bridge. In about three minutes after the train had passed, the men from below called to the men on the bridge to come below. Mr. Harroll, a witness, stated that when they got down, they found that a stick of timber 12 by 12 inches and 20 feet long, which had been standing upright against the bridge, had fallen and struck Michael McManus on the head. The men raised the timber off of the prostrate man and found he was quite dead. Upon examination, it was found that his jaw and neck were broken, dying instantly. It is supposed that the jar of the train as it passed over the bridge was the cause of the timber falling.
