KILLED BY TRAIN
Selon Breedlove, a private in Co. 66th of the Coast Artillery at Fort Barry, was instantly killed by an electric car in Corte Madera tunnel early Monday morning. He was apparently sleeping on the track in the middle of the tunnel when the first train from San Rafael came along and struck him. His remains were gathered and taken charge of by the coroner. Breedlove was considered a very temperate man and was highly esteemed by the officers and the members of his company. He was a native of McDowell, Ill., aged twenty-three years and enlisted on Feb. 25, 1912. He was buried with military honors in the Presidio cemetery on Wednesday.
