SLEEPING CAR MYSTERY
Man Disappeared From a Fast
New York Central Train.
BERTH WINDOW WAS OPEN
The Train Was Running at the Rate
of Fifty Miles an Hour When the
Affair Must Have Happened-Search
for the Man or His Effects Was
ilroadO fficfalsPuzzled.

New York, Aug. 21-A mystery that
barfles all attempts at solution is puzzling
the officials of the New York Central
Railway. '''- -t..s'-
Its no less than the disappearance from
Wagner sleeping car of passenger
while the train was going at speed Of
fifty miles an hour.
The passenger was tall, handsome,
blond.bearded man, middle IA ged and spec
tacled. He was ticketed for Niagara Falls,
and had II berth in the sleeping car Au-
burn. s,tr.t,..st
The train pulled out of the Grand Cen
trail station On Forty-second street at 1880
Saturday evening. Porter Perrine had
occasion TO remember the blond passenger,
for the latter found fault at the manner in
which his bed was made, had il made over,
and retired into his berth as any other
passenger might do.
At 2:2l a. M, shortly after the train had
whisked by Rome, Perrine saw the fin
nicky passenger leave his berth and visit
the lavatory at the end OF the car and later
return to his berth.
A few minutes afterward the porter
noticed that the heavy curtain at the
window over this passengers berth was
Tapping in the wind, and, on going to the
berth To lower the window, he was aston.
ished to find the berth empty.
HIS VALISE GONE.
Not only the passenger whom he had seen
clad in his pajamas only u few minutes
before, but his clothing and valise were
gone. A search OF the train failed to
discover the fairhaired man, and an ex-
animation of the window sill revealed
marks such as might have been made
by the fingers of Il person hanging out of
the window.
From Syracuse Geographic orders were
issued to search the tracks and neigh
borhooi west of Rome, where the pas
senger had disappeared, but no trace
has yet been found of the man Or his
belongings, although experienced rail
readers say that nothing short OF a
miracle could save q man from destruc-
ton If he fell or leaped from n train
going at the speed of the Buffalo special.
There was a similar case, however, a
few years ago. A drummer named
Kerngood either fell or leaped off the
platform OF a car in a New York Cen
trail train and has never been seen or
heard from since.

A Statement.

McCooK, S. D., August 2.-EDTToR
COURIER: So much has been said in
regard to the case of Mrs. Mary Trip
drowning that | think a few words
should be said. Now this wonan vas a
cousin of Ben Bodia and has an uncle
living in Jefferson and also her mother.
After the %coroner's jury had examined
the body it was suggested that the body
be taken to Ben Bodia's house as she
was a relative of his. This he did not
want done, so her relatives in Jefferson
were notified and they refused to have
anything to do with it. So the body
was buried at the exbcnse of Union
county. AS the Sioux City papers
have stated that relatives of Jefferson
took charge of the body and buried it
| think they should not have credit for
what they have not done, and al Sioux
City papers also states that her hus-
band was not satisfied with the way she
was buried and that he dug up the
body and removed it to Sioux City and
buried it at that place, this is also false
rs the grave has not been touched.
Yours in the interest OF the people.
AN EYE WITNESS.
