Russia has been shut off from al

Though the government ordered the

fore the remains could be extricated
According to the evidence, Allen

attempted to warn the man of his
danger, but 1t was too late. The
train crew did all possible to warn
the man after seeing him. and to stop
the engine, they testified, but the
grade was too steep and the momen-
tum of the cars too great.
Aliens body was struck and drag
ged about forty feet out on the tres
tie, the train finally being stopped.
This is about all tho evidence there
was before the coroners inquest yes
terday afternoon, and the jury re-
turned a verdict that the deceased
came to his death by being run over
by string of cars on the Illinois
Central trestle, fixing no blame.

day night for the first time. IL is
understood that he was drinking. The
next they heard of him was yester-
day morning when they were notified
Of his death.
The remains were so mangled that
1t was impossible to embalm them.
A telegram was received today from
brother of the deceased at Point
Pleasant, saying that he would ar
rive tonight and arrange either to
