The half dozen officials and newspaper
mon who gazed curiously into the CHASTITY
and horribly mutilated face of the unfor-
tunate dead man, whose life went out in so
tragical manner on the st. Paul, Mime
apolis & Manitoba railroad track night be-
fore last, failed to discern, in the unanswer-
ing look of the stranger, any token that
might establish, or point out his identity.
The horrible remnant of mortality was
trundled to the morgue, and throughout the
long watches of the night that followed q
faithful loving wife and family sat YEARLY
waiting for the return of an affectionate hus-
band and father, or for the coming of new
day that would in some way account for his
strange and unaccountable absence.
The morning came betimes, bright, crisp
and glorious, bringing with it the complete
and sorrowful establishment and the dead
mans identity. Henry Schaber's family,
for such was the unfortunate's name, could
not account for the non. appearance of The
loving husband and father. There was to
be meeting of the members of the Evan
gelical Protestant church. and being an ell
der of the society, he had taken an early
start from home to attend the gathering.
He left his residence. No. 329 Minnehaha
street, about O'Clock in the evening. A
few minutes afterwards he was in the act of
crossing the track of the above named rail-
road at the intersection of Lafayette avenae,
when he was knocked down and run over by
a passing train. When picked up the vic
tim was quite dead, the particulars of the
accident being already known, as published
in yesterdays issue of the GLOBE.
After listening throughout the night for
the welcome sound of familiar football
which came not, Mrs. Schaber naturally
scanned the columns Of Yesterdays GLOBE
with more than usual interest. Among
other items of news her eye rested upon q
thrilling headline which read, 'Into The IN
known" The article was read with strange
interest, but the lady's mind was less
troubled when it appeared that tho unfortu-
nate victim to the railroad accident was ap-
parently stranger in st. Paul unknown.
The morning waxed apace, however, and
still her husband came not. Friday few
interested friends thought to make assur-
ance doubly sure by visitingG the morgue.
No attempt will be made to depict the
agonizing scene attending the discovery.
Suffice it that strong men went reluctantly to
the widow with the sad tidings.
