the boy, and it was not until 10 o'clock
in the evening, when the mother, nearly
wild with sorrow at the sudden blow,
called at the morgue, accompanied by a
lady friend, that his identity was estab-
lished. When the identity was made
certain Mrs. Dorsey was refused permits
sion to see the remains, her friends fear
ing for her reason. The clothes were pos
itively identified.
Drummond returned from school in
the afternoon as usual, and then went
out to play. That was the last time the
mother saw him alive. Supper time
came and he did not return Then the
neighbors told Mrs. Dorsey that boy
had been killed on the railroad tracks,
and she feared to make further inquir-
les of a police officer, dreading that it
might be her son. 1t was not until a
neighbor came to police headquarters to
make inquiries that the authorities knew
of the lads identity. The father of the
boy Is a railroad conductor, but is at
present on the coast.
The funeral took place Friday morn
ing from Connolly's undertaking rooms,
on Sixth street. Services were held at
Immaculate Conception Church, after
which the remains were inferred at st.
Mary's Cemetery.
