STRUCK BY TRAIN
Stranger from the Other Side of the World Seriously Hurt.
An East Indian named Mohamet Ali, evidently a tramp was fatally injured Sunday in the vicinity of Brooks and died at the Salem hospital about 2 o'clock this afternoon. One account says he was struck by a south bound train on the trestle this side of Brooks, but what train was not known.
The northbound overland found the man lying by the side of the track near Brooks, and the nature of his injuries indicate that he had been struck by a train.
The injured man was taken on the northbound overland to Gervais, and when the Albany local came up he was sent to Salem, where he was met by the S. P. physician, Dr. W. H. Byrd and taken to the Salem hospital.
Letters in his pocket showed that his name was Mohamet Ali and he was a native of India. He had a letter from the board of charities at Seattle recommending him as a good man, and another from the board of charities at Portland saying he was no good. He was badly bruised up and his case was pronounced hopeless when he reached here, and he died without regaining consciousness.

East Indian Buried.
The East Indian, Mahomet Ali, who died at the Salem hospital Monday from the effects of injuries received near Brooks, was buried today in the Terrell burying grounds north of the city. The remains were taken from the Rigdon & Clough undertaking establishment, where they were prepared for burial and brief services were conducted at the grave by Rev. John Parsons.
No inquest was held over the body. Coroner Lane looked into the matter, and decided that as no definite information as to how the man came to his death, was available there was no chance of developing anything by an inquest and it would be useless expense on the county to hold one.
