Cedar Rapids. Feb. 23.-The roll of
unknown dead has been increased by
one as the result of train tragedy
here. While an extra freight on the
Milwaukee was coming into the city
the train crew were Mortified when they
neared Eighteenth street, near the in
terurban power house, to find the
mangled remains of man strewn over
the tracks.
Who the man is Is mystery. He is
a total stranger in this city and by
appearance is tramp. The coroner
worked all day yesterday and secured
the following facts: the man on Sat
urday night went into the grocery
store of John Svec at 719 South Third
street west, about $50. He bought
some picked pigs feet, some crackers
and a box of matches. He handed
Mr.. Svec a piece Of money and Mr..
Svec returned quarter, the right
change. The man inquired the way to
the Juno" the nick name of Beverly
and this strengthens the fact that he
was tramp, familiar with the ways
intent on going to Kansas City.
The man walked out and that was the
last seen OF him.
The exact time of his death is not
known but 1T must have happened
before 10 o'clock. for a record of the
Milwaukee train sheet shows that no
trains passed either way from 10
O'Clock Saturday night until the extra
freight before mentioned coming
from the west. That the man was
struck by an east bound train in evil
dent Parts of his clothing and body
We're found west of the remains.
Nothing to Aid Identification.
A careful search of his clothes fail
ed to reveal a single scrap of paper
which would lead to solution of
who he is, or where his home is The
pigs feet, crackers and matches and
quarter were all found on his clothes
He also had some tobacco, and fine
silk handkerchief, and a couple of
pair of unused socks. He could not
have been on the bum very long, for
his undertaking was found to be
very clean and his face and hands
were not dirty
The man is OF slight build.
smooth shaven, and appears to be
about thirty or thirty-ore years of
age. After investigating thoroughly the
coroner decided that no inquest was
necessary unless something turned up. |
The remains will be held for a few
days and will be at Beatty's under
taking parlors Meanwhile Coroner
King is endeavoring to find out who
the unfortunate man Is.
