LITTLE Rock. ARK, March 30
A west-bolnd freight on the kansas
Valley route ran over Albert A. West'
near Wrightsville, last night. Coroner
Bond was notified, aud with spec al
train visited the remains and held an in
quest. He found the body OF West,
white wood sawyer. lying near the rail-
road where it was left by the employees
of the Tran. The head was SCARED, but
the skull was not fractured. The wheeis
of tho train ran over the middle of his
body, breaking his let arm and
cutting of his right foot Inc
mid lie of the body was complete-
ly crushed, but the clothing kept it from
being cut in two. Several witnesses were
sworn, and it was shown that West left
Wrightsville some tine before the trein
was due, very drunk. He lived about one
and one-half miles from Wrightsville, to-
ward this city. p. j. Robinson, the ensi-
neer, testified that traiu No. IA was heavy
loaded and coming down grade at the rate
of fifteen miles per hour. He saw some-
thing on ths track about 200 yards ahead.
He Immediately whlstled down brakes,
.hnk ng II was a calf. lie continued to sound
he danger whistle, but the object did not
move, and, as he approached nearer, 1t ap-
peared to be bundle of clothes ly ng
across one OF the rails. An effort was
made to stop the train, but 1t could not
be done until after it ad passed over the
object. As soon as the train could be
stopped, the engineer, conductor and
brakeman went back and found the man
gled body. They picket it up and placed
1t in the catoose. Mr.. Robinson noticed
that the face and hands were cold and
stiff, that although the body was crushed
no blood was spilled, and he believed that
the man had been killed previously and
aid upon the track. The Coroner's Jury
returned n verdict that the deceased came
to his death by unavoidable accident, so
far as the train was concerned. Il he was
previously murdered the jury could not
find sufficient evidence upon which to ar
rive at q positive conclusion.
