.RUMOR OF DEAD MAN INA
BOX CAR CAUSED BY SNAKE

Quite ripple of anticipation as
well as sensationalism was created
Sunday morning by the news that
a dead man was in a sealed box car
loaded with lumber on its way here
to the East Union Lumber & Mfg.
Co.. having been shipped Friday
from Ponchatoula, La. Several
kilograms we're received by local
parties to look out for car 506, in
which it was supposed the dead
man was. The car never reached
here, having been stopped en- route
by railroad officials who made an
examination and-found nothing.
The story then leaked out from
PonchatouIa that the workmen in
loading the car had complained of a
bad smell emanating from the car,
and were told by other work rkmen
who we're not on the ground when
the loading commenced that they
had found a dead man in the car
and had covered him up with lum-
ber. This report gained circuIa-
tion. when in reality the odor was
emitted from a dead snake that had
been killed and thrown into the
car
