 Twenty persons were asleep in their berths in the overturned sleeper and most of these were bruised, while a few including some women were seyeraly in- jured. They were brought to St. Louis in the coaches not derailed.
 The passengers in the other two Pull mans. which were derailed but not over turned. were not injured.

FOUND IN FIELD W|THNECK BROKEN Mystery Surrounds Death
 of Elijah Day BOY SNAKE BITTEN Is Dangerously III as Result-Mrs. Martha Oliver Dies in Gull
 man-Was a Lifelong
 Resident

Cullman. July cial)-Eii1ah Day, E5 years of age, and a farmer. residing about Il miles south of Culman, was found dead in his field where he had been blowing this morning about 11:So by his children. The man had evidently been dead several hours when he was found. as the body was col1 and had therappear- ance that he must have died early in the morning.
 There is considerable mystery surround ing the circumstances of the death of the man. He left his home early in the morning in apparent good health. Inn mediately upon the discovery of the body Coroner Hartung was notified, and in company with pr. A. P. Martin and So- licitor S. J. Griffin and Attorney W. E. James went to the scene of the death where an inquest was held. Upon exami- nation by Dr. Martin 1t was found that the mans neck had been broken. He was lying face downward across an oak stump standing in the field, but upon further examination there was found no trace of any blow that might have been struck. and the mystery of the death Is how the neck became broken. It is rather thought by some in the community that the man must have met with foul play. However, nothing has been unearthed that would lead to suspicion of the mur- derer. The only bruises that could be found were those on the face, which pr. Matrin pronounced to have been caused by the fall on the stump.
 tS Aad bxy the affair. In the opinion of pr. Martin the man did not die of either sunstroke, heart failure or appoplexy. However, it is said by some that it might be possible that the man was killed by stroke of lightning Just the cause of the death will possibly never be known. He leaves several small children. his wife having died some time ago. He was very pros porous farmer and a highly respected citizen.
 As result of being bitten by either copper head or rattlesnake. Johnnie Bitenger. the 11-year-old son of a prom inent farmer near Cullman. is dangerously nl The little fellow was out with party picking blackberries, and 1t seems that the snake must have been hanging on the brIars, and as the boy put his hand through a clump of brush to get a bunch of berries the snake bit him on the hand. He became violently i'll and was hurried as rapidly as possible to Cullman, where medical treatment was administered by pr. Martin. The child Is still critically i'll and there are grave doubts about his re- covery.
 Mrs. Martha D. Oliver, an aged and highly respected lady, died at the home of her son, w. A.
