Walter Rhodes, about 35 years,
who has been residing in the vicini-
ty of Philadelphia, Marion county,
for the past year, was instantly
killed at Palmyra Junction, about A
o'clock Friday afternoon. 1t seems
that the unfortunate man and two
friends, also from the vicinity of
Philadelphia, Rogers and Coleman,
had arranged to 90 to North Dakota
to work in the harvest fields, but
intended to spend the Fourth in
Hannibal. They went to the juno
ton and the three men attempted
to board fast moving freight train
for this city. Rogers and Coleman
were successful in boarding the
train, but Rhodes slipped and fell
beneath the cars, His body was
badly mutilated and his death was
instantaneous. - Hannibal Journal
