Mr.. and Mrs. Higgins were preparing
to attend the concert at the auditor

left her pocketbOOk lying on a center

woman picked up the pocketbook
and put it in her cOrsage. Shortly
after they had gone Mrs. Higgins
missed her purse and she at once sus-
pected the Sears woman. She accom-.

Daily Journal, Friday.

There no longer seems to be any
doubt concerning the identity Of the
old gentleman Gasaway, who was
found horribly mangled four miles
south of Rome on the Hunnewell
branch yesterday morning. His son,
James Gasaway, and his son-in-law,
VIM. Treft, we're in the city this
morning and drove down to South
Haven to prepare his remains for
burial in the Atteberry cemetery near
Perth this afternoon at 3 o'clock. He
was picked uplate yesterday afternoon
and taken to South Haven. Addi-
tiOnal details of the manner of his
death were learned by the JOURNAL
this morning.
The old gentleman had left home
Wednesday morning without saying
anything to anyone. lie carried a
wicker basket, containing a pair of
gloves, on his arm. He came TO Wei
lington and after spending Il few hours
10 town, started, as he supposed, to-
ward the home Of his son, James Cas-
away, living southwest of the city.
The old gentleman usually follows
the Southern Kansas track to the
pump house and crosses the Slate creek
bridge at the Fish property on his
way home. He had lately grown
quite feeble in mind, and Wednesday
he slightly lost his bearings and start
ed down the Hunnewell branch, think
ing he was on his way home. He had
gotten as far as South Haven, when
he met some boys at the stock yards
and inquired Of them how soon he
would cross Slate creek. The boys
replied that he was not near Slate
creek, and he muttered something
aud Dlodded on down the track. Lat
er he met Green DOwis and asked him
in an almost incOherent tone the d.
rectiOn to the home of ] f. Ruggles.
He was directed back toward Wei
lingtOn, but continued down the track
southwark. He passed the Santa Fe
depot at Rome and was noticed by the
agent and few lOungers, but moth
ing much Was said of him. When
four miles south of Rome he lay down
upon the tracks, overcome by hunger
aud the long walk of the day. Ac
commodatiOn train No. 435, which left
here that night with the WOodmer
on board for South Haven, passed
over his body shortly after it lef
Rome. His head was severed from
his body and his remains scattered
along the tracF distance of 270 feet
Part of his clothing were found tw,
and a half miles further down tn
track. His head was thrown abou
twenty feet from the track into tn
weeds. The basket and a cane wer
found nearby, unchanged. The en-
tire body had been maDgled an,
dragged along the track until it wa
impossible to recognize any portion Q
it. His duck coat and working shir
were found several hundred feet dow
the track and pair Of lace boot
were found with his feet cut an
mashed into a jelly inside them
Neither the engineer nor flrema
knew Of the accident and his remain
lay there all night, being run owe
