AN ENGINEERS DISCOVERY.
Three Men Found Dead on a RaiIr0n
Track Near Dubuque.

Three Men Found Doad ON a Railroad
Track Near Dubuque.
DuDUouE, Special Telegram, Sept. ia
Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City passenger
train was flying along four miles sonth OF
East Dubuque early this morning when
the engineer looked out OF his cub and saw
the dead bodies oil three men lying betwccn
the double tracks. He brought the news to
East Dubuque. An engine and Lox car
were sent down and picked up the bodies.
The inquest developed that the three men
left Dubuque last night to walk to Mcnon,-
inee, eight miles below East Dubuque,
where they expected TO find work. Their
names were Matthias Wagner, Nicholas Stem
metz and Peter Mas. They were laborers
unmarried and have lived in Dubuque
twelve or fifteen years. When they lett
Dubuque they were intoxicated. Last night
they were seen two miles below East Du-
Duque by section men and inquired the
distance to Mcnominec. The double tracks
from Menominee to Dubuque are used by
three roads, and trains are moving on them
almost continually. 1t is supposed that
they were struck by the Illinois Central
passenger train which lc for Chicago Mt
lO:45 last night. An air OF mystery is added
to the affair by the tact that none of the
traihmen report hearing any noise or feel
ing any unusual jar when the trains passed
the spot where the bodies were found. None
OF the bodies had any bones broken. The
head Of each was badly cut and bruised and
that was the only mark of violence on
them.
