SON IDENTIFIES THE REMAINS
Little Fellow Went to the Police Office
Searching for His Father Only to
Learn That He Had Met With a
Fatal Accident.
(From MONDAYS Dailvl

michael Jakulsky, 80 years or age,
residing at Ais Grant street, was kill
ed by train on the Chicago & North
western road either late Saturday
night or early Sunday morning. His
badly mangled remains were found in
the gulley near the Orange street via
duct early Sunday morning by Peter
Breidt and they were identified early
this morning by Stanley Jakulsky, the
l3-year-old son OF the dead man. All
day Sunday the coroner and police
officers were busy seeking to identify
the dead man whose body had been
taken to the Miller morgue and all day
Sunday Stanley and his smaller broth
er John walked about the city seeking
to find some trace of their father.
The mother of the two boys is dead
and month ago they came from st.
Louis to Kenosha with their father.
The three had been companions and
while the father worked at the Balm
Wagon Company's plant during the
day ne spent great deal of his time
with the two boys. This morning
Stanley went to the police thinking
that it was possible that his father
might have been arrested. The police
at once began to question the boy and
then he was taken to the Miller morgue
where he at once identified the remains
as those of his father. There seems to
be no possible doubt in the identified
ton as the little boy first identified
the hat which had been worn by the
dead man as one which he had bought
as present for his father short
time ago. The little fellow stood up
well under the terrible ordeal and not-'
withstanding the fact that he is prac-
tically alone with his little brother he
started about at once to arrange to
give his father decent burial.
The father had worked until noon
on Saturday and had brought home his
money and paid the board of himself
and his little boys and then had gone
down town to buy some little articles
for the family. He never came back
and his actions from the time he left
home at 3 o. clock in the afternoon are
a mystery. The two little boys cried
themselves to sleep Saturday night and
spent all day Sunday searching for the
missing man. Last night some of the
people in the neighborhood aided in the
search, but none Of them suggested to
the boys that the man in the morgue
might be their father.
| The killing of Jakulsky is complete
mystery, but the condition of the body
and the place where it was found
seems to lead the coroner to believe
that Jakulsky was walking south along
the tracks when he was struck by some
protruding portion of an engine. He
seems to have been struck with such
force that the upper portion of his
head was. cut Off Portions of the
head, skull and brains were strewn
along the track for distance of two
rods and the head was found in the
bushes thirty feet from where the re-
mainder of the body was found. Coro-
ner Andre secured a jury on Sunday,
but the inquest was held open pending
the further investigation of the case.
The two boys will probably go to
the home of their grandmother at ST.
Louis where they made their home
with their father before coming to
Kenosha. The brave little fellows
are completely destitute, but it is ex-
pected that the people of Kenosha will
come to their rescue and furnish funds
to take them to their former home.
