4 Hill Engine Near Lester struek
Him Sunday Night, Cutting Hin
Into Small Pfeces-Body DraggeA

The horribly mutila.ed remains OF John
Munsoa. employed as track walker by
the Northern Pacific, Just east of Lester,
IN the Cascades. were brought to the city
yesterday. Munson was run over and
ground to pieces by an engine that Is used
to help pull passenger trains Up the hiil
above Lester. The engine was backing
down from the tunnel Sunday night. When
1t was stopped in the round house at Les
ter II was discovered that portion OF a
mans neck was sticking to the running
gear. The fireman walked up the track in
search OF further evidence OF a tragedy
that he knew had been enacted. He found
small piece CT the trunk about 10 feet
from the round house. de called TO the
engineer and with the aid OF lanterns the
two men followed a tran OF blood up the
track Tor mile. where they picked up q
hand and part Of finger. Two miles be-
You'd they found the head. This had been
severed from the neck. and II In turn had
Deea cut off clean from the shoulders.
various parts of the trunk were picked
Up along the track
The accident happened after dark or
about o'clock Sunday night. The engine
was backing down the hill, with no head
light on her rear end. It IL surm.sed that
Aunson did not hear the engine approach
In the darkness. and OF course the engin-
GERS were not able to see him.
A3 much of the body of Munson as IL
was possible tn find was gathered together,
placed In long pine box and carried back
TO Lester. Coroner Yandeli was notifi I'd
and Monday proceeded to Lester with Cn-
dertaksr Butterworth. A jury was en-
paneiled and an inquest was held
The engineer and fireman testified that
they both felt shock as II the engine had
encountered some solid substance, about
two and one-half miles from Lester. They
did not think much OF IL at the time. but
investigated on arriving at the round
house. Then came the finding of the
hand and neck Of the body and the search
for the rest OF the remains. Both men
testified that the sngine had but one head
light and that was in front, or the rear as
the engine was reversed. On the rear end
or the tender were placed two red lights.
verdict of accidental death was rem
dered ly the Jury. generating the COM
pany from responsibility and the engineer
and fireman from blame.
Munsoa's body lies at Butterworth's. II
will be nel5 here for two or three DAYS
pending instructions from Munson's
friends or relatives. II he has any IN this
part of the world. He was about IS years
old. five feet nins inches tall. and weighed
about 10 pounds. For several years Num-
son lived in smail house az Puyaliup
and Il is said that he owned a small
amount of real estate at that place In
case the body is not claimed II Will be
buried by the company In this city.
