GROUND TO DEATH
Mangled Remains Of Two Men Found
Scattered Along Track
Near Crescent.

Small pieces of human flesh and
clothing. strewn along the tracks OF
the C., l. & W. railroad for a dis
lance OF over a mile. were found by
workmen near Crescent. O.. yester-
day morning. and gave silent testi-
mony OF the terrible death OF the two
men who were run down by an *
press train shortly after 2 o'clock
Tuesday night.
The belief that the remains are
those OF two men arises from the
amount OF clothing. hair and bones
gathered up. as II is not thought pos
sible that so many bones or so great
an amount OF hair could come from
one man.
From the fact that the freight train
passing Crescent about 9 o'clock in
the evening was the last train to pass
before the finding OF the remains. il
Is generally supposed hat this is the
train that struck the men. although
the engineer OF the freight stated that
he did not see anyone on the track
near crescent. IL is the general be-
lief that the victims were tramps.
