Dell Huckins is Picked up Dead in
the Highway.

Farley Tuesday morning, Sheriff Gull
yer received the information that ] James
kastohryz had found the lifeless body
OF an unknown man near his place, and
the sheriff started at once for the plnce
accompanied by Coroner Plummer and
County Attorney Grannis.
The body was identified by letter
found on it written for Joe Block rec
ommending him as his agent for the
purchase of old junk. Huckins has
at work for some time and the morning
OF his death was sent to Spillville for a
load of old iron and given $500 with
which to buy it, and this note introduc-
ton. He got his load of iron at Spill
vile and came home by way of Proti-
vim through which he passed about 8
O'Clock in state of intoxication, which
was the last time he was seen alive.
About two miles north of Protivin he
turned east for some unknown reason.
and it is supposed that he was toppled
from his seat by sudden lurch of his
wagon, rut being fo und in the road
near where the body lay, and his neck
broken by the fall. The team proceeded
about half mile further where it was
found.
After viewing the remains and in
quiring into the circumstances, the Cor
oner decided that an inquest was un-
necessary and the body was brought to
Cresco.
The deceased was unmarried, having
been divorced by his wife about two
years ago.
