About three O'Clock yesterday afternoon, as three
small boys were playing upon some freight cars on
the side track OF the North Missouri Railroad, near
the foot OF Mullanphy street, an engine ran down the
track and coupled to the cars to put them on the
ferryboat Dunleith for transportation across tho
river. When the cars commenced to move tho boys
attempted to jump of. Two OF them who were In
one Of the box cars jumped from the Side doors and
escaped uninjurcd. The third however, jumped or
and, getting between the wheels, was instantly
killed. The wheels passed over the back Of his
head, crushing 1t TO jelly while the face and front
Of the head from the centre Of the skull to the base
Of the chin, was severed as smoothly a. done by

found lying aboul three feet from the body, and

else. The coroner was notified, and at once pro-

mains; but singular to relate no one was found
who could identity them. The inquest was c0nse-
