- BEHEADED WHILE HE SLEPT
- Zarona GONGALES had only been in Irving two days. He was employed in the Rock Island section crew. The nights were warm, and the men were sleeping out in the open air on cots. About four o'clock Friday morning, a shower of rain drove them to shelter. When his companions went to their room, Zarona got under a box car in the siding and pillowed with his sack on the rail - not suspecting that an engine would enter the yard. He soon fell asleep; the switch engine came along, and pushed the car. And while he slept, Zarona was completely beheaded.
