Badly IDjursd-Coroner's Inquest.
Three bodies were found alongside
the Rock Island railroad tracks al
Carbon Cliff early this morning.
They were recognized as those OF
Miss Belle Kenady, William Wendt
and Miss Selma Sshlstrom. The two
hrst named we're dead and mangled,
while there yet remained q sparkle
OF life in Miss Sahlstrom. The tragic
scene was the result of an accident,
which occurred at IL 80 last night.
A merry party Of about twenty five
Carbon Cliff folks attended an enter
FNunment at Colona last night. Re.
turning they decided to follow the
railroad tracks. Miss Kenady,
Miss Sahlstrom and Mr.. Wendt
Jagged behind q considerable dis
lance, and the other members OF the
party were unconscious Of the terri
BILE fate that had overtaken tham un-
til the discovery Of today. Two c.,
Z. l. q 2. freight trains passed one
another at the Cliff about 1880. 1t
is supposed from the manner in
which the bodies we're lying that
Miss Kenady and Mr.. Wendt were
run down by the westbound train.
1t Is evident that death was instan-
famous in both cases. as their heads
we're crushed, and their bodies
otherwise cut and manqled.
The theory is that Miss Sahl.
strom. who probably noticing
the approach of the westbound
freight before her companions,
stepped over to the adjoining track,
only to be struck by the eastbound
train. She was thrown several feet.
where she lay unconscious until this
morning.
Details Of the Accident.
A story received by an ARGUS rep.
resentative, who visited Carbon Cliff,
somewhat conflicts with the early &C.
counts Of the affair. Miss Sahlstrom
revived about O'Clock this morning,
and went to her home. The finding of
the bodies followed. Miss Sahlstrom
again relapsed unto Inconsistencies
and still remains in that condition.
She Is 10 years OF age.
Miss Kenady's hesd was cut in
two, half of iG being inside the rail
and the rest of her body on the out
side. The body of MIR. Wendt lay on
the outer side of the track. His head
was crushed. The bodies presented
CHASTITY sight. Miss Kenady and
Mr.. Wendt were each 2l years of
age.
An inquest was held over the
bodies by Coroner Eckhart. The
jury. W. r. Carey, foreman. Clark
Corbin, William Beckwith, j. A
flanagan, Frank Bay and W. A.
Holcomb, returned q verdict that
"Belle Kenady, and W. Wendt came
to their death by being struck and
killed by . freight train going west
