shot and desperately wodnded on
March 5 last in the Grace home In the

(Mansfield Eews)


The body OF an unidentified man
was found near the west corporation
line Of Bellville about o'clock this
morning by members Of an east
bound B. & o. freight train. The body
was cold when found, lying across the
tracks and was cut in twain. 1t was
taken to the Shaffer undertaking par
lors and prepare for burial which will
probably be made Saturday.
Despite the efforts of the Bellville
authorities nothing can be learned
concerning the identity Of the dead
man. 1t s apparent that he was rid
Ing on freight train and probably
lost his hold, falling beneath the
wheels. Nothing '"as found on the
body that would help the authorities
in learning anything concerning him
and 1t Is probable that the body will
be buried by the township trustees
Saturday according to reports re-
ceived from that place.
He is described as being about 2S
or 30 years of age. He wore dark
striped suit, grey socks, black shoes
and no hat. The eyes were blue and
the hair dark. None OF the clothing
was marked In any way, either by
maker or laundry mark.
Belleville authorities say that the
man was fairly well dressed and in
dications lead them to believe that he
was not a tramp. 1t Is the popular
opinion that the young man was 60
ing from Mt. Vernon to this city and
lost his hold on the handle of the oox
car. 1t appears probable that the
young man met his death soon aitel
midnight as the body was cold when
found and the clothing was dry. 1t IL
said that rain fell shortly before mid
night but none after that hour, and
this leads the authorities to believe
that death came soon after that time
