dressed to Jacobo Luna, Central, N. NJ.
The body had been covered slightly
with bushes, but coyotes had dragged
IL 20 feet. The clothing was very torn
but ,ne ooots were whole. The re-
mains were buried at the grave yard
just south OF STEMS Pass. An inquest
was held by Justice of the Peace Alb

Ofarad

The railroad section Of Florence,
kas. looks like a bunch OF junk shops.
The Santa Fe road is handling all OF
its freight caught in the Kaw river

440 cars of merchandise OF different
kinds In transit over the Santa Fe
were caught In the high water ana
most of the stuff was absolutely ruin.
ed A small portion OF 1t was not hurt
much The company is now trying to
save what II can. The 440 cars were
hauled to Florence and side tracked.
For the past three weeks big force OF
men have been at work cleaning the
stuff. checking II up and rebuilding
what Is worth shipping. II Is a big
task. A freight caboose has been
transformed into an accounting Office
where a corps OF freight ard auditing
clerks are at work. Several fiat cars
are used as platform.
The work Is being done systematical-
| ly. All OF the cars were first opened
up and the contents taken out and
stacked in piles In the fields along the
right OF way. Several gangs were then
put TO work cleaning the stuff An
other gang cleaned the cars. The food

houses In the flooded district was in.

perhaps one-fourth of the freight were
destroyed at Kansas City The ship

either washed away or blurred by the
muddy water so they cannot he read.
