Lawrey, James 330407 p1
Workman Killed; Train Is Almost Wrecked in Halt; A nap on the track, as far as can be guessed, was responsible for the sudden death of a ranch laborer near Crows Landing at an early hour Tuesday morning; and incidentally came very near wrecking a long train of empty passenger cars dead-heading over the division. The man, later identified as James Lawrey, employee on the Joe Borba ranch, had been off on a spree for a week, and it is supposed he went to sleep on the track. He was torn to pieces, identification being possible only by his clothing. The jar broke an air line on the brake system and stopped the train so suddenly that trainmen said only the vestibules saved it from wreck; a freight train braked down so quickly would have been ditched. Lawrey has parents at Red Bluff. The remains were cremated at Stockton Thursday, for shipment to that point.
