WHO WAS He!
An Unfortunate Tramp Meets a
Shocking Death.
Completely Beheaded by an Engine
ON the Rock Island Read The Cor
Oner's Inquest.

One more unfortunate, unknown and
without friends has come to his death in
most shocking manner. A man of the
tramp species from all appearances, was
run over and instantly killed on the Rock
Island road between Moline and Port
Byron Junction Saturday night, his
head being entirely severed from the
body and was found. some thirty fee,
away from the trunk. The evidence de.
veloped through the inquest held by Cor
oner Halves at Moline yesterday before a
jury composed of VIM. A. Meese, Qore-
man); John Geisburger. Geo. G. Thomp.
son, Ed. Kittilson, Levi F. Cralle and M.
F. Sexton, established the following
facts: The body was discovered lying on
the east bound track of the Rock Island
road. one-half mile west of Port Byron
Junction, by the crew of an extra freight
coming this way, at 9:15 Saturday night.
The engineer was P, Breecher and Chas.
Pearson was fireman, the engine being
455. Conductor VIM. R. Green was in
charge. The engine mel first noticed
the body, and soon as possible the train
was stopped and backed up. The crew
then examined the body, while one of tie
trainmen, John s Hilley. found the head
thirty feet from the body and picking it
up, found no blood upon 1t and placed it
beside the trunk The body was still
warm. The train came on to Moline
where Marshal Kittilsou was notified. and
he had the body brought to Moline
Nothing could be introduced to establish
the mans identity.
Edwin B. Knox, city undertaken of
Moline, testified that he had examined the
body and did not know the man, nor did
he think he had ever seen him in his life
time. He was from appearances man
OF five feet six or seven inches in height
and weighed about IT'S pounds He had
all the appearances, Judging from his
clothes, of being professional tramp.
He was probably of English or Welsh
birth; he had light-grey eyes, Roman
nose. and small ears. His left hand was
crippled, showing marks of former Sc
we're burn or crush. He had light mus
tache, long side Whiskers of sandy coll
or; light brown hair. He was apparently
about forty-two years of age. There
were no flesh wounds about the body,
though his head was cut off entirely, aad
the right arm broken He had on red
wooden stockings, a pair of old rubber
boots, two pairs of pants, aud over all a
pair of old but well patched overalls. He
had on an overshirt, two vests, wamus,
and dark colored coat in fair condition
The general impression of the trainmeu
was that the man had been dead for some
time, and that the body being on the easl
bound track, had been run over by a
train going east. Train No. 92 had
passed east about an hour before.
The verdict of the jury was that the
deceased came to his death by being run
over by train of cars at point on the
c., r. l. & P. railway, about oue~hali
mile west of Port Byron junction, the
name of said man and the number of said
train being unknown to u.s."

ner and climb the fence and rush down
Seventh avenue west. The young man s
curiosity was aroused and he was Just de
batting if there was not mischief in the
movements of the man who had left the
building so hastily, when he saw a fame
flash up in the room in the northeast
corner of the building on the first floor.
Arson! thought the citizen. and no sooner
thought than he put after the fleeing
stranger, who by this time had retraced
his steps and coming east on Seventh
avenue darted into an alley going south
and disappeared. The citizen hurried
back to the building and meeting another
gentleman told him of the circumstances,
and the two scaled the fence and went
toward the building. Mr.. j. R. John,
ston, who lives diagonally across the
street, and who by this time had seen the
flames in the building, and Robert Guilt
gan. former Janitor at the building,
were on the ground and all en-
tered the building. On table in the
southeast room taught by Miss Hill, was
found parcel of paper from which flames
were leaping Table and all were quick
ly carried into the street and it was found
quite hole had been burned in the
table.
The fire being subdued. an investiga-
ton was made, showing that the intruder
had entered by opening window and
had made his exit through the south
door, opening it from the inside. He had
taken two valuable clocks from different
rooms, one of which had been dashed
under the steps at the south side of the
building. as he fed. From all indications
there was no attempt at incendiarism
The man, evidently sneak thief. broke
into the building for the purpose of rob-
berry. He lit match to locate the clock
in Miss Hills room, after securing the
clock in an adjoining room. and dropped
the match in the pile of paper from which
the fire caught and alarmed. the coward
fed, lest he should be detected, leaving
the building to burn.
