  	Report on the death of Aaron Walker, Mariposa (California) Gazette AARON WALKER INSTANTLY KILLED WHILE AT WORK Aaron WALKER of North Fork, an employee of the Minarets and Western railroad, was accidentally killed late yesterday afternoon at Central Camp when a switching train supposedly backed into him and inflicted internal injuries from which he evidently died instantly. WALKER was a brakeman and had been employed with the company for the past nine years. There were no eye witnesses to the tragedy, as he was signaling to the train that is presumed to have struck him. One signal to go backward had been answered by the engineer and it was the continued wait for a second signal that caused the men to investigate. He was found dead by the track. Mr. WALKER is survived by his wife, Alaska May WALKER, with whom he lived at North Fork, three sisters, Mrs. Bessie DOWNING of San Francisco, Mrs. Gertrude MASON and Mrs. Bella BLISS both of North Fork, and three brothers, George and Charles WALKER of Mariposa and William WALKER of North Fork. Internment will be made at North Fork.- Madera Tribune, Oct. 13.
