Train Kills Tourist. Man Loses Life at Melstone On Account of Watermelon--Tries to Board Moving Train
A watermelon was the cause of a man losing his life at Melstone Sunday.
Arthur Perrine, a tourist on his way from West Virginia to the coast left the Olympian at Melstone Sunday morning to go up town after a lunch and to buy some fruit. When he returned the train had already started and he made a run for it with a watermelon under one arm tried to swing himself on the steps of the dining car. He lost his hold, however, and rolled under the cars, several coaches passing over his legs. The man was brought to Roundup on the same train and placed in the hospital here where both legs were
amputated. The man died shortly after the operation before regaining consciousness.
Perrine was traveling with his daughter and son-in-law, who with their four children were returning to their home near Tacoma, Wash., from a visit in West Virginia. He was about 50 years of age. The body of Perrine was taken west by his people Tuesday night, and burial will probably take place at their home town.
