Trespassing Accidents.
Trespassing on railroad property, in
violation of tho law, has been re
sponsible for tho death of 47.4G1 peoplo
in tho United States in the last ton
years. In tho samo period, moru than
60,000 trespassers wero injured. It is
in view of theso facts that many of
tho important railroads have determ
ined to redouble, their. , efforts to se
curo in this country that rigid enforce
ment of the law ngninst trespassing,
which, in England, has reduced the
prnctice and accidents to trespassers
to n minimum.
Tho number of peoplo killed while
trespassing on railroads has been in
creasing every year. In 1698, 4,063
IrcBpnBHCTB lout their lives Oif Amerfcunl
railroads; fivo yearn later tho number
wan 6,000 and jn 1007, tho number
killed wna 5,612more than fifteen n
day. These figures ore taken from the
annual reports of the Interstate com
merco commission. It Ib not only
tramps who nro killed nnd injured
while trespassing though thousands of
them lose their lives in this way every
yeur but also men of the laboring
