FARMERS MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Fred PIumer's LifeIess Body Found b,
the Roadside

the nOdOSIQe.
Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, Nov. Ferdinand
Plumer. a farmer who lived two miles
east and one mile north of Hoskins
twelve miles distant from Sioux City
was killed Saturday night on his way
home from Leeds. The body was found
at II o'clock that night at point four
miles east of Leeds and information
was communicated by tels phone to
Coroner Charles M. Wade in Sioux
City.
The spring seat OF the light wagon
which Plumer had was found by his
side, and the opinion of the men who
We're driving into the city and found
the body by the roadside, was that he
either was the victim of runaway ac-
eident or that he dropped off to sleep
and toppled out of the wagon. The
supposition was that his neck was
broken by the fall. No foul play was
suspected The coroner gave instruc-
tons for the body to be removed to the
Plumer home, and an investigation will
