SAN FRANCISCO, January 11.-Word
reaches here that estcrday the big rotary
plow was slowly working its way through
cut which had been filed up by drifts
OF snow during the night. There was a
cabin occupied by Henry Gilman on
side track, and the plow would throw
snow over the cabin some twenty feet.
A few minutes after the snow plow
passed yesterday he looked out of a back
window and saw mans head sticking
above tae pile of snow just deposited by
the snow plow. He went to the mans
assistance and spoke 10 him, but there
was no reply. Further examination re-
vealed the fact that the head, severed
from its trunk, was resting on the snow.
He lifted it up. 1t was a frozen head,
with the eyes open, staringat him. Then
he realized that the snow plow had cast
1t there. Digging over the snow he
found the mntilated trunk, legs and arms
of the poor fellow thrown along for sew
cral yards. The clothes were stripped off
and torn, and the body terribly mangIed,
but there was no blood ON the snow,
showing that the man was frozen stiff
when reached by the pillow. The theory
is that some one attempted to pass
through the cut over the track in the
storm, and getting overwhelmed by the
snow, prrished. The snow had complete
ly filled in the night before, and the
body could have been there but few
hours. The name of the man is not
known.
