Unidentified Man Killed by Train at Bailey Station NOTHING EOUND TO INDICATE WHO HE WAS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN TRAMP. An unidentified man, presumably a professional hobo, waa accidentally killed yesterday afternoon about 2:4" at Bailey station, 'three miles west of i mauua, ny an extra freight train, westbound. His body was not run over but his neck wag broken In a fall when one of the cars of the train aa aeraiiea. Trainmen believe he unintentionally caused the derail ment by stepping upon the air valve The body was brought to Pendleton this morning by Coroner J. T. Brown who was summoned last night. A cor oners jury investigated the affair this morning but is withholding its veraict until a sworn statement from the train crew is recelved- The man was about 40 years old and almost totally bald. Not a line of writing or anything else that might tend to Identify him was found upon him. What leads to the belief that he was a hobo more than any thing else, was his manner, of dress. Though yesterday was a warm day, he wore two suits of underwear, a pair of heavy corduroy pants, a pair of overalls, five shirts and two coats. The extra freight left Umatilla at 2:25 and It is believed the man climb ed aboard there for a ride. At Bailey one of the boxcars was derailed when the train broke In two. Upon going back to fix the train, the crew dis covered the body lying beaide the track. Evidentlyhe had fallen clear of the track and struck forcibly up on the back of his Head. The Port land-Pendleton local passed by at the time and the crew was told t notify the coroner of the accident. Coroner Brown went down last night and took charge of the body. He has not yet talked to the train crew but the popular impression at Umatilla among trainmen is that the man had aecidently stepped upon the air control and. broke the train so suddenly that th car upon which he was riding was derailed.

It is understood the arrest of Huerta and General Orozco at El Paso Sunday, charged with conspiracy to violate neutrality, is the first step in the case being prepared against the alleged plotters. The evidence will be placed before the federal grand Jury In Tex as immediately, Not only will the recognized leaders be prosecuted, but it Is planned to include American who backed the proposed revolution financially and otherwise. Huerta and Orozco a.'e closely watched while at liberty on bonds to prevent their crossing the border. With so much at stake it was TeJ garded as possible that Huerta and Orozco might attempt a dash across the border but It was believed certain that such a move would result la fail ure and probably cause the revolu tionary leaders to be locked up. Attorney General Gregory, In charge of the case. Is keeping Presi dent Wilson at Cornish advised of the developments. Mexican agencies In Washington are deeply stirred over the El Paso de velopments. They believe the arrest of Huerta will have a far reaching ef fect on the general Mexican situation.
