KILLED BY TRAIN.
Mangled Body of Arthur Foster Found
On Railway Track.

The crew of freight train, which
reached this city yesterday. reported
finding the mangled body of a youth
lying near the tracks at Cuipeper. Va,
as they passed that place about o'clock
yesterday morning. The body was iden-
tilted as that of Arthur Foster, eighteen
years old, of Remington. Va
He is said to have jumped on a pas
senger train of the Southern Railway
which passed Remington about 1880
o'clock Monday afternoon. He was not
a passenger. as he had no ticket. It
is supposed that he merely jumped on
to steal short ride. and when the train
began going at a high rate of speed, he
either endeavored to jump of or fell in
between two of the cars. His body was
passed over by several wheels of the
cars. and was badly mangled when found
by the trainmen.
The body was sent to Remington. after
1t was identified. The funeral services
will be held from his parents home in
that town. this afternoon.

commercial man. who, travelling through
here occasionally, is In touch with New

subject of the notoriety he gets or does
1t as joke. Whoever he is, he has
