a Ghastly Find.

Upon the arrival OF the southbound ex-
press Tuesday afternoon at this station.
there was found the mangled remains OF a
man under the rear trucks Of the next to
the rear car. This train slows down at the
railroad bridge two miles north OF here
where men are at work on the bridge. and
1hese men noticed the body but too late to
stop the train. The train crew knew
nothing Of any accident until this village
was reached and the engineer is positive
that the engine had not passed over any
body. The body was entirely nude and
had been impaled ON a rod proiruding for
ward from the brake beam. Remnants Of
clothing and pieces Of flesh were found on
several II the trucks OF the forward cars
The man was apparently about 25 years
old, weight about $50 pounds and had a
smooth face and black nair that had evi-
IDENTIFY not been cut for some time In the
evening il was discovered that foreigner
named Alph0nsc Gemmee was missing
from the crew Of the train that handles
the supplies for the bridge at Braintree
a new bridge is being put in there and
fiemmee was stationed south Of the bridge
q flag trains approaching from that d.
rcction. II is surnised he got too near the
track and was drawn under the wheels
by the suction % the on-rushing train
Another theory that finds credenee among
trainmen j. that he caught onto the train

4ust finished his lunch there. to ride down
the line 10 his post and that when he
jumped OF he rolled back under the train.

"DOn't Know

preston many times.
Did you ever notice that the
Don't know how / got it cold
is a bad one to get over2 That
before you are through with the
hoarseness, the cough, the eight
feeling" the general discomfort,
and the out of sorts sensations.
you are apt to have another such
cold, and so on until it hangs on
for weeks
These colds mean that your sys-
TEN is out of gear They usually
precede serious diseases like con-
sumption, bronchitis. They are
dangerous.
We have found a remedy for all
sorts of colds, coughs, that is not
a so-called cough-cure. 1t does
not stupefy with opium, nor fill
the system with vicious drugs.
1t is Vinol. We are perfectly
willing to tell any inquirers at our
store what 1t is made Of and how
we came to take hold Of it.
1t certainly does the work. Old
coughs go off like magic. 1t even
relieves people far gone in con-
sumption. People right in town
have proved it. We sell it subject
to guarantee money back if it
doesn't help You. Isn't it foolish
to put the matter Off
