DRUNKEN DEBAUCH RESULTS In
HORRIBLE DEATH OF A
STRANDED LABORER.
Edward Worley Falls Between the
Rails and His Body is Fearfully
Mangled-Remains Strewn Along
Track for Eighteen Miles-His
Partner sees the Accident.

Coroner Nottage returned last night
with the remains of the unknown man
who was run over and killed last
Thursday night some place on the hill.
The fellow was horribly mangled, the
middle portion of his body being cut to
pieces and portions scattered all along
the track for several miles.
The upper portion of the body was
found a mile east Of Dale Creek bridge.
being discovered by Engineer Fenwick,
who was on a helper engine going up to
Sherman. Later a leg, which had been
cut off just above tine knee was found
near Red Buttes station, eighteen miles
from the rest of the body. Coroner
Nottage walked up the track most OF
the distance and found portions of the
mans body. entrals and vitals at var
ious places along the track east of Red
Buttes, and between and along side the
rails, for several miles, the water form
ed by the melting snow ran in streams
and was dyed with the blood of the IN
fortunate victim. About three-fourths
of a mile east of where the body lay
was found the place where the accident
the blood stains. The leg which was
found at Red Buttes must have been
caught by the cloth to some part of the
brake or rods and carried to where it
was found.
Deceased was a man of middle age,
light complexion, with sandy beard and
hair.
No papers or money were found on
the body, the only things being an al
minimum comb, somewhat bent, and a
dirty handkerchief.
Late Thursday night a man dressed
like a working man, who had been beat
ing his way west, came in to Settele's
drug store and begged Ed Burke, the
clerk, to give him something to steady
his nerves. He said that he was com
ing over the hill from Cheyenne on a
freight train that evening with his
partner and when this side of the sum
NIT his friend fell between the cars and
the thing had upset him. Mr.. Burke
noticed that the man was very much
excited and his eyes were CLASSY, so he
gave him some bromide and tried to gel
the fellow to talk, but could get nc
information and directed him to the
police station for a place to sleep.
Yesterday when the remains of the
brought in by the coroner and the part.
ner was summoned before the ~coroner's
inquest held today.
The witness to the accident gave his
name as Harrington and said the MAI
whom he identified at the nrorgue, was
Edward Morley, and that deceased was
going to Silver City, Idaho, where he
had relatives. They came from Lead
vile, where they had been working for
several monts, to Denver, and having
spent all their money started to beat
their way west.
They left Cheyenne Thursday night
on a freight, and both were suffering
from their drunk and while on the car
Worley grew noisy and restless and
Harrington tried to get his partner in
side, but could not and it is presumed
that Morley, in his dnunkel. condition,
rolled off between the cars and fell un-
der the wheels.

Union Pacific Detectives Find j. C.
Parry's Wallet.

Readers will remember the wreck at
Weed tank a few weeks ago. says the
Sun-Ieader, when j. C. Parry of Den
ver while attempting to make his es-
cape from the car, was fatally crushed.
The remains were sent to Cheyenne and
afterwards to Denver and in a few days
Manager Sherwood of the Baum Iron
company Of Denver wrote the Union
Pacific officials that Parry had a pock-
etbook on his person which contained
money. Sherwood represented that
Parry had $40 when he left Denver;
that he could not have spent a great
deal previous to the wreck, and that
there was no doubt that he had been
robbed after he was injured.
A search Of the debris of the wreck
revealed the lost pocketbook in the
frozen snow nea the car from which
Parry endeavored to escape. The peck
ct book was empty, but the circumstan-
ces showed that the man spent consid-
cradle money and could not have had
much of the 80 with which he left Den.
