MURDER SUSPECTED
Dismembered Body of Anoka Boy
Found by the Track,

ANOKA, M1NN.-Ralph c. Watson, son
Of Mr. and Mrs. H. Watson, met a hor-
rible death yesterday halfway between
Anoka and Coon Creek. He was ground
to pieces under Northern Pacific freight
train and several facts point to murder.
,: Watson. had been working at Hopkins
until week ago, and returned home last
week and was employed by DR.. Giddings.
He was found in the ditch by the side OF
the tracks. Both legs were cut off, one
arms was almost severed near the Shout
der and the skull was fractured. Beside
the body, wide open and with the blade
buried In the ground, was Watson's
pocketknife. Tracks on. the GROUND
showed that the body had been moved.
His pockets. were wrong side out and
empty, except for his watch, which was
safe in his trousers pockets, tied by Il
string.
The body was removed to .Anoka and AZ,
examination showed an extensive frac-
.ture of the skull. Authorities are looking
up Watson's associates of the night be-
fore and will endeavor to find out how
much money he spent in Anoka. County
Attorney Pratt is inclined to believe the
man was killed by a train and robbed
afterwards.
