Railroad Employe Is Found Dead
Peter Nelson, an employe (sic) of the California Northwestern Railroad company, was found dead alongside of the railroad track at Willits Friday morning. He had attempted to shoot himself earlier in the day, but was prevented from doing so by bystanders. It is supposed (sic) that he died from the effects of alcoholism, as two empty flasks lay beside him.
