AN UNKNOWN MAN
 kllED BY A TRAIN
P. .esumably Went to Sleep On the
 Track While intoxicated.

An unknown man was run oyer early yesterday morning by the n0TthhOund Diamossd Io train and mangled beyond atl recognition. The incident occurred
 about a quarter OE 8 mile hsy0Ra the AIhatnbra brtck yard. The man must have been iylmg bet cen Rhe rails and close fsY one gf them. He was not seen hy the engineer until t0O Iate to stop the train, though every possible effort sgas made to sap so. The tEafnnteH ran back to the body as soon as the tFaiE had been stopped and found the Frag- ments cold, which al first caused theFu to suspect that the body had been thrown upon the track. pOGstbly IO cover up a murder. but the ftnding of blood 0n the rack and ties proved be. yOnd a doubt That the Snat wss alive w hen struck by the train. f0r a dead bu,.y would not have bled as had this one. Al that hour of tbe night thete WAS nothing for the trsiumen 1O d" but wire tO the main office At this place . word of the accident and that office in turn notified ghe shert:fs office.
 Early in the morning Acting Coroner JOhnstoRc tnnpaheIed a jury composed of the following named J B. Dough. erty. Joe Bassz C. M. Bturges. Th0s. : Mooney, W. 4. Ware and Walter Hsyt. They found she tsOdy as tt had been left ] after the train passed, scattered along ] the track tOr a distance 0f about a } hundred yar1iS, tt wns hoFribles sight. The mans hat ansi handkerchief we're found near the track. ttls hand kcrchieE having been Iun over by "A ! v I1eeI of ths engine. At that t-sint ths. | sirEt blood was seen on the west raii cI the track and it was figured Out that there was where he was first struck by the train. AS If passed oyer
 hina he was ground into pieces and showed over to the esat rail, V wheFc bi0sSd and sfnatl pieces of flesh were l scattered a'ons the track and roadbeEi for aome iistancc, The body was en- t4rely dismemheresi the head betng lcrushed and scaIped Rs clean as if done by knife. There Was only A very
 snnaIt parf 0f the face legt Intact. aud uos enough t1 give any clue to the
 mans identity E0 tNvo parts eff thc
 bOkis were found in the same place,
 I1ue foot, evenly cut off above the ankle was oa one side og the track and the other, badly crushed nn the sOtheF side of the track. The arms were
 in different places along the track and the trunk was cut in tWo several times 1t was alFnost impossible to tefi the nationality of the victim bat from what little flesh there was left in its HatWrai
 coiHT tt Is believed Ac ~as a Mexican or Cl,Dta tn,Iian. From the size oG his hands ntad feet he must haze been be
 low tiuc nteFsage in stature as both were
 1iUlisSla 'iy s1Datt. The hands had tht I1ppea rance oF having done hard wofk as they were ruSh nnd calloused.
 It Is presumed that the man had beer

 the sugar factory and had started home
 late at night along the railroad in ar intoxicated state. The story of tn, tragedy was plainly told by the finding of broken whiskey bottle near the IFseHains which had contained ligueT
