Adam Schmitt, Jr., Killed on the
Rock Island Road Early
This Morning.
HE HAD FALLEN TO SLEEP

Freight Car Passes Over His Face and
Arm, Badly Mutilating Them-No Wit
nesses to Accident, But Supposition is.
on Returning Home. He Sat Down In
the Yard to Rest-Inquest Held.
Adam Schmitt, Jr., of 1908 First
avenue, who had apparently fallen
asleep on the tracks, was run over by
freight car in the lower Rock Island
yards at 2:3O o'clock this morning and
killed. His lifeless body was found
lying between the rails by Switchman
j. Z. Cuisine and was conveyed to
Knox's undertaking rooms in the pa
troll wagon. The car wheels had
passed over the face and left arm,
badly mutilating them.
Schmitt left his home at o'clock
last night, telling his wife he would
return in half hoIr. He was seen
at the oil house fire at midnight, by
Grant Pinckley, Rock Island switch
man, who testified at the inquest that
Schmitt acted as though he had been
drinking. There was not a single
witness TO the tragedy, so far as Cor
oner Eckhart or the police could as
| certain. The supPosition is that
Schmitt on returning home sat down
/ on the track for rest, and had been
slum bering possibly two hours when
his life was crushed out, being uncon-
scious of the approach of the train.
The accident occurred in the yards
between Twenty-first and Twenty
second streets. Switch engine No.
651, with Engineer j. b. Schugt and
Fireman Walter O'Hara, was hacking
a string of freight cars down to the
Rock Island freight depot, when
lSwitchman Walter Fry, who was
standing on the first car. felt jolt,
as if the wheels had passed over an
obstruction, but he thought it was
probably a stick that had been
dropped on the track, and gave no
further heed to the incident Shortly
afterward Switchman Cuisine, on GO
ing to the freight house to turn in his
car bills, discovered the dead body.
Verdict of Coroner's Jury.
An inquest was conducted today.
The iurv. composed of Mr.. +. Archer,
foreman; w. A. Giles, John Bruner,
Harry Coyne, j. A. Woods and William
Bentley, returned verdict that the
deceased came to his death by .'being

responding increase in salary and will
have greater responsibility, and better
opportunity for advancement.
Mr.. Greer has represented the Nil
waukee for four years in Rock Island.
coming here from Perry. Iowa, and
the road has never had more tireless
and faithful agent than he. He hus-
tied from the day he arrived, and the
result has been a handsome increase
in the company's local business. He
made friends rapidly and he held
them. Mr.. Greer is, above all, a first
class raiIroader, careful business
man, and incidentally is possessed of
a happy faculty of knowing how to
handle human nature, all of which
has contributed to the success that he
is making in his chosen vocation, and
which will yet. his friends predict,
land him in field where he will be
allowed larger scope for his abilities.
1t is with regret, Mr.. Greer says, that
he is to leave Rock Island with his
family, for he has come to know the
people so well that it is hard to part
with them There is likewise a feel
ing of regret on the part of Mr.. Greer's
acquaintance, but since he must go,
all will unite in wishing him contin-
ued success in his new field of labor.
Mr.. Greer is a prominent member
of the Rock Island Club. 1t is
rumored in railroad circles that

Iowa, will be Mr.. Greer's successor.
