ton of the body Indicated that the
wheels OF the train passed over his
head and that the body was dragged
for distance of 200 yards or more.

bership card in the Typographical
union and a letter from his mother.
Mrs. II. H. Moore or carthage, Mo,

identification was made by local mem
bers of the union, who viewed the re-
mains AT the morgue.

fled OF the death.
When the discovery of the body was
made known at McQuarre. the train
operator, man by the name OF
also. mounted "A speeder and
started for the scene where the body
lay He made the mistake OF getting
on the main line and overlooked the
fact that No. Is was due. This al
most cost him his life. for the train
