DEAD ON THE TRACK.
Mangled Body of Harry Wiese
Found at East Moline
Today.
KILLED BY A PASSENGER TRAIN.

Superstition That In Returning From a
Trip to Town He Attempted to AliEht
From the Midnight Rock Island Flyer
and Was Thrown Beneath the Wheels
An Inquest.
The mangled body of Harry Wiese.
aged 20 years, was found at o'clock
this morning on the south track OF
the Rock Island railroad near Walker
station, in East Moline.
Both limbs were severed and lying
a considerable distance in either d.
rection from the body, which was
crushed in a shocking manner.
1t was learned that young Wiese
had been to Moline last night. He
did not tell his folks that he was GO
ing there, but he requested them to
leave the door unlocked when they
retired. as he thought it would be
very late when he returned.
Jumps From a Flying Train.
The supposition is that he boarded
the eastbound midnight Rock Island
train at Moline, and in attempting to
alight from the train at East Moline,
where his parents reside, was thrown
under the wheels and his life crushed
out.
As far as known there were no wit
uesses to the accident, the body hav-
ing laid on the track until discovered
today by Harry Young.
The deceased was employed in the
Deere pillow soaps at Moline. An in
quest is being conducted at the Mo-
line police station this afternoon by
Coroner Eckhart
