Louis Essig.

Sleepy Eye, Mimi, Dec. 6-The man
that was struck by a passenger train
Saturday evening and killed west of

and followed the track. The wind was
blowing hard, and he evidently did not

no bruises on the body other than a

young man, and he will hold an in
quest. The dead man was about TWEEN
ty-one years of age.
