Santa Fe Freight Kills Section Hand Near Boron
A section worker on the Santa Fe Railroad known to the people of Boron as Mr. 
L. Daniels, a colored man, was killed by a Santa Fe freight train near the Kern-San 
Bernardino county line three-fourths of a mile east of Boron, at 8:30 o'clock on 
Monday morning of this week. The news was reported by Mr. Cecil Salyer to The 
News, who stated the man was sitting on the track and apparently did not observe 
the approach of the train. The engineer said his train was moving too rapidly to stop 
in time and that the man did not heed the warning whistles.	
Deputy Glenn Roberts investigated the accident and while doing so received a new 
injury to his left leg which was almost well of a former injury.
