Death of Charles J. Hanley.

Sunday night w. F. Hanley received
q telegram announcing the death Of his
brother at Fort Dodge, Iowa. The daily
papers In mentioning the fact of the ac-
cident, making some Misrepresentation,
we give publicity to the following
cleaned from letter from W. F. to his
wife:
His brother Charles had a tile con-
tract some distance north of Fort Dodge.
Being in the city Saturday and spending
the evening with sister, he told her
he would go and see his mother, who
lived some FIVE miles from there before
returning to bis work Monday. He left
his sisters few minutes after midnight
to take a train to Tara, where his
mother resided, but probably finding
there was no train out soon, he decided
to walk the distance, being only five
miles, and the wagon road being very
muddy he no doubt decided to take the
railroad track. The accident occurred
on a viaduct which carries the railroad
he was on over another track. 1t is just
few yards from large double oatmeal
mill run by water power, which makes
great deal of noise. The theory is
that there was train on the lower
track and that together with the noise
Of the mill prevented him from bearing
the switch engine which was probably
moving backwards and ran oyer him
without knowing it.
After hearing evidence of the engi.
neer and fireman of the switch engine
of the crew that found the body the
coroner's jury rendered the following
verdict:
| coRoNER's VERDICT.
We, the jurors, upon oath, do find
that Charles j. Hanlev came to his death
between the hours of 1l:30 o'clock p. M,
on March 20. and 100 a. m, on March
81, OH the M. & st. L. viaduct near
Lower Central Avenue, Fort Dodge, said
death being caused by his being run
over by some west bound car, engineior
train on Illinois Central tracks.
