unknown MAN KILLED.
Supposed To Have Been Struck BY
A Northwestern Train. IL

! "
Tuesday morning the section
men from State Line found the
body ofan unknown man lying on
the track quarter of mile south
OF Rummeles siding, and from the
appearance OF the body and
from the position in which it
was found, it was evident that the
the man had been struck and
instantly killed by north
bound train. The remains were
to lonover and the authorities at
this place notified, who authoriz-
ed the body to De brought down
to this city on the freight.
A coroner's 'jury was empaneled
by Justice Radcliffe and an in
quest was held at Rodericks un-
clearinghouse Wednesday fore
noon. Section foreman w. Muir
awski and Julius Dickman, of
State Line, testified to finding the
body on the tracks and to bring
ing the remains to Conover. Al
ter hearing the testimony in the
case and viewing the remains the
jury rendered verdict in which
they found that the deceased
was supposed to have met death
by being struck and run over by
Chicago & Northwestern train at
Rummeles siding on the night Of
March 9TH and 8tk.
There was practically nothing
to identify the man by except his
clothing. The head was CON-
pletely severed from the body,
anc no marks or papers were
found upon his person that would
help to establish his identity.
Deceased was a man about FIVE
feet eight inches in height and
would probably weigh about one
hundred forty-five pounds. He
wore a dark worsted coat and
vest, gray shirt, gray pants strip
with brown, brown cap and had
on two pairs of wool IN sobks. the
outside pair red and the inside
pair white, and a pair Of leather
topped rubbers. The cap bore
the trade mark of the Spicer Fur
nishing company Of West Super
lor, In his pockets were found
S2.o5 cents in cash and business
card bearing the address of
Napoleon Barnhardt, Washburn,
WIS, sample rooms.
The man was an entire stranger
here SO far as any one at this
place knew, but had been seen
around Watersmeet Monday after
noon. Two Water Spaniel dogs
owned by one of the Kelly boys
at that place had come up missing
Monday afternoon and it was sup
posed that they had followed some
one off down the track. Tuesday
morning Ted Kelly came down on
the freight looking for the dogs.
At Conover he found one of the
dogs and was informed by the
section men that they had found
it near the body of the unknown
man, The other had been killed
and was lying near the track where
the accident had taken place.
The train by which the I'M
known is supposed to have been
killed was an extra, north bound,
and passed through here about
$50. The engine crew did not
know they had struck the man
although they did see one OF the
dogs,

Spring Politics

OPtIng FOtlIiCS.
When the gentle spring zephyrs
begin to murmar through the frost
bespangled trees and the festive
sparrow twitte1s on.the house top,
then comes the spring politician
from his winters lair and we hear
the all absorbing topic, How
bout lection?' In purely dem
ocratic form of government, such
as we enjoy here in the town Of
Eagle River, things generally get
moving rather early, and with
caucus day only two weeks off and
election four weeks from next Tues
day. the field is already fairly well
supplied with aspirants to munic-
at the coming town meeting
Gay. The annual spring elections
in this town have always been
more or less frought with conten-
tention and judging from the num-
Der ef candidates in the field at
present, the election this spring
will be no exception to those of
the past. The REVIEW will not
take any part whatever In the
coming contest ether than to en-
deavor to keep its readers inform
ed as to the candidates in the
field and let them be the Judge of
their qualifications when the time
comes to nominate and elect the
various town officers. We be-
lieve that the voters of the town
of Eagle River fully recognize the
importance of selecting compe-
tent and responsible men to han
die lie affairs of the town and will
vest the government of the town
in no other source.
There are two candidates
for the the nomination for chair
man, Mart HirzeI. the present en-
cumbant, and "A, H. Bradford. +.
G., Hall, who was mentioned as a
probable candidate for that office
has announced himself as a candi-
date for supervisor.
For supervisor there is vide
range of available timber to Sc
lect from. j. j. Roderick. w, II
Bonner, J. H. Kuehne, Jas. Ian
Gill, F, G. Hall and Mat Schcrible
have announced themselves as
candidates for that office.
From present indications it is
not likely that there will be any
opposition to Fred Mcintyre fol
town clerk. AT least no one else
has appeared in the field The
same is also true Of the treasurer's
office, which has been SO satlstac-
torilly filled by Fred Morey tor
the past several yeors.
Both of the present asse ssors
w. z. Tellefson and John Brady
will be candidates for reelection
upon the earnest solicitation O
their many friends. We also un
derstand that John Wilde will be
a candidate for that office.
No one has as yet announces
themselves for the offices OF JUS
tlce and constable, but as those
Offices usually go begging. the
caucus will probably bestow then
on some one just to sort o I'LL uE
the ticket.

Thomas Jenkins Found.

Spartanburg, Special.-Thomas Jen-
kins. the white farmer who so mys-
teriously disappeared Monday even
ing at Union, was found in an old, un-
used house, about a mile from that
town. When discovered, he was
crazed from the effects of morphine
or liquor. 1t Is thought that it must
have been the former, as some OF IT
was found on the floor near his head.
He had never used the drug before,
as he does not remember when or how
he got to such an out-of-the-way
place. Jenkins became somewhat
more rational several hours after he
was found. He was taken by his
friends to his home, on Enoree river,
and the doctors think he will recover
entirely within the next few days,
when possibly the circumstances sur
rounding his disappearance VIII be
cleared up.

AGED Lady Attacked.

Manning, Special.-A negro about -
years old by the name Of Eddie Nelson
was committed to Jail Saturday for
committing a murderous assault with
a pine stick upon Mrs. Setter, an aged
white lady who lives on the edge on
town. Mrs. Setter was out In her little
corn field near a piece Of woods back OF
the house replanting corn, when this
young negro slipped out Of the woods
and up behind her, striking her a Sc
we're blow on the head with the stick,
which he had broken in the woods. Mrs.
Setter was knocked almost senseless,
but she recognized him sufficiently well
al he ran to describe Him, and this boy.
answering the description almost ex-
actly. was caught at house near by,
about a half hour Afterwards. a sman
boy also says that he saw this boy run
ming in the woods. This piece Of woods
Is fayorite rendezvous for card play
ing negroes, and 1t Is supposed this
young chap had q motive Of revenge
against the old lady for reporting that
negroes played cards there. 1t is not
supposed that hehad worse intentions,
as he ran as soon as he struck the
blow.

made Saturday by Thrailkills' attor-

was heard by Mr.. Jacob Gipson, cor

not be held until the first was set
aside. This view was adopted by the
coroner and the proceedings dismissed.
