Wire prank fatal to two Mexican workers near Pearland
Two Mexican section hands, Marte Ramos 25 and Nicholas Velasques 58, were killed when a discarded telephone wire was thrown over a power line near Pearland. A brakeman found them entangled in a barbed wire fence as a train approached, and officials cut the current. The tragedy occurred about fourteen miles south of Howaten. One man may have tried to crawl under the live wire, and the other went to assist and died as well. An abandoned line and broken wires were noted along the right of way.
