FIND MUTILATED
 BODY ON RR, TRACK
Finally Identified as John Pll-
 green of CaIera
MAY BE A CASE OF MURDER
coroner's Jury Is Investigating, and In the Meantime Two Suspected Men Have Disappeared-Has
 Caused Great Excitement.

Calera. June 1o-(SpeciaD-M John Pil- green, resfected citizen of this place, was killed here last night. He was run over by a train of the Louisville and Nashville railroad but 1t Is generally be- lieved that he was murdered and his body thrown on the track to hide the crime.
 MT. Pilgreen was employed by the Lou isville and Nashville railroad, running pump for them about half a mile above town. He was relieved at the pump house about half past nine o'clock last night and left there about that time. His body was placed on the track about quarter of mile above the pump house and in the opposite direction from his home. It was dragged by train or trains for fully three-auarters of mile and 1t was prob ably run over by several trains before 1t was discovered. His clothing was torn off of him by the train and torn into shreds and parts of his body were scattered all along the track.
 The trunk of the body was at last dropped by a train on a switch In the yard at this place, about three-quarters of mile from where 1t Is supposed to have been put on the track The switch had been thrown and the body caught in between the rails In doing so, but lt was so mangled and looked so little like a human, that the brakeman who throw the switch probably thought 1t was a hog or something of the kind, and paid little attention to it. The body was not discov- cred until this morning. Although well known here, where he had lived all his life, 1t was some time before the remains could be identified. A jury was empan- eled and an inquest held over the re- meins. The jury has been in session all day, and are still in session examining witnesses
 Suspicion points towards two men with whom a son of MT. Pilgreen had had some trouble.
 The Pilgreen family is a large one and he has numbers ot relatives in this vi- cinity. He leaves a wife, one son and one daughter. He was for a number of years a policeman at this place.
 The two men suspected of having committed the crime left during the night last night and have not been seen since.
