DENIED BURIAL IN SIBERIA.
Body of an Unfortunate Is Shipped
Thousands of Miles.


The unidentified body of a man
killed on the Trans-Siberian Railroad
near Tomsk last summer is still un-
buried. He was believed to have come
from Irkutsk, whittier the body was
sent, only to be returned to Tomsk
by the police. Once more it was sent
to Irkutsk and once more returned by
the police as being unknown in that
town.
Innumerable kilograms were sent
and replied to, no town would receive
the body, which was sent hither and
thither by railway, always being re-
turned to Tomsk. At last it was Of
fered to the Anatomical Museum at
Tomsk, where it was preserved for
nine months, no one daring to dissect
it without permission from the higher
government.
Now the museum is being rebuilt
and the body has been once more
handed over to. the Tomsk police.
They again refuse to bury it without
the documents without which nothing
can be done in Russia, and the I'M
happy body, which is said to have al
ready travelled over 1000 miles, is
once more upon its unending travels.
