MEETS TRAGIC DEATH

this county, was run over ana killed by train, which pulled out shortly after the occurrence, the crew of which were unaware of the sad fact that a human life had been crushed out and that a mangled form lay on the ground beside the rails over which they were travel ing.
 From what we were able to learn the following are the particulars concerning the unfortunate man and the manner in which he met his untimely death:
 Arthur Schultz, who came to Willia ms from Texas about twelve years ago. had been in the employ of the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Co.,, for the past ten years, as saw filer at the company's logging camps. About three weeks ago, while at work in Camp 2, he com plained to MT. Lindstrom. the fore man, of being sick, and was advised by him to seek medical treatment, which he did by going to Flagstaff, and after remaining in the Skylight city some time, returned to work, stopping in Williams several days while on his way to camp. But shortly after reporting for duty at Camp 2, the old malady returned and he was again forced to quit work and compelled to seek the advice of a physician, and came to this city, engaging room at Grove & McCoy's rooming esta blshment
 Last Saturday it was noticed by several lodgers at that place that he was Respondent and restless. but he, however, retired to his room at about the usual time, taking a dose of medicine just before going to bed.
 At about two o'clock Sunday morning. the man in charge of the apartment, heard noise in Schultz's room. and upon making an investigation later on, found the tNla 1f I.nno,-oro1 purse lying on the bureau, belong ing to the occupant and con taining SIS 50.
 Thinking the roomer was troubled with sleeplessness and had arose from bed to take a stroll, nothing more was thought of the matter, until the remains of a man were found by Detective Patterson, of the Santa Fe service, scattered about in the yards, and which proved to be those of Schultz, who had occupied the room the night before. - His body was cut in twain just under the arms, one arm being cut off above the elbow, the other near the wrist. A gold watch, which he had carried, was badly crushed, but the hands pointed to the hour of 3:20. showing that he had been killed at that time.
 It will never be positively de- termined just how he met his death; some seem to think that on account of his despondency over i'll health, he threw himself in front of the moving train. while others who do not believe in the suicidal theory, presume that he was in the act of climbing between the cars, with the intention of crossing the tracks to go to the depot, when the train suddenly started, throwing him beneath the wheels and killing him.
 Undertaken J. s. Button took charge of the corpse and after pre- pairing the remains for burial, the coroner's jury which had been impannelled by Judge Langin. repaired to the morgue and held an inquest. After taking circum- stantial testimony from several parties who were acquainted with Schultz and had noticed his queer actions during the day and night before his death, the jury rem dered a verdict of accidental death. I The deceased was born in Ken
