In June last man was killed by the
cars Oh the Wisconsin Central road near
the bridge which crosses the st. Croix
north of the boom. The body was hor-
ribly mutllated, and was brought to
this city. No one knew the man who
had apparently thrown himself in front
of the train, and the only clew obtained
in regard to his identity was hospital
ticket Oh a Chippewa Falls, Wis,
hospital, giving the name of
Louis Nicholson. An envelope found
i'll one of pockets gave the same name.
he was Durleu and the matter had
passed out of the mind of many, when a
few days ago Mrs. Ernest Summerfeldt,
German lady residing in this city,
claimed that the man killed on the Cen
tral road was none other than her hus-
band, and not Louis Nekkelson. She
claims that her husband was religiously
| insane and had wandered away few
days before the accident occurred. She
| described him land her description al
| most tallieS with that of Nicholson.
| The body was taken up last evening,
but it will be hard to tell whether OF not
it is that of Summerfeldt.
