who has been identified as Mike

lacked the legs, which had been sew
cred at the pelvic region as clean as
could have been done with a surgeons
knife. The body was tightly wedged
into the pilot. The legs were discov-
cred on the track west of Kewanee.
The coroner here telegraphed Kewa-
nee for the legs, but the coroner OF
Henry county declined to surrender
them. saying that the inquest should
be held in the county where the acct.
dent occurred The coroner here held
that the inquest should be conducted
in this county, where the body was
found At present it looks as if two

How the accident occurred is a mys-
terry, as Billiard knew nothing of it
until, when oiling the engine, he
found the mutilated frank. When the
man was struck the train was going
seventy miles an hour aud the pilot
hit him with such force as to cut the
body in two
