UNDER LUMBER PILE.
Body of Man Said to Be Arthur Trudeau
Found in Worcester.

Worcester Mass, Feb. 24.--The body
of man said to be Arthur Trudear
of 532 Park avenue, this city, was founC
under a pile of lumber near the jackson
street railroad crossing yesterday. II
is thought by the police that he fell
from the lumber pile as he slept. Their
belief is based on the fact that the
mans overcoat and hat were found on
the pile just above where the body
was discovered.
The body was found by Edward Cross,
a trainman on the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford railroad. He notified
the police and the body was removed
to the City hospital morgue, after be-
ing viewed by Assistant Medical Exam
iner Hunt. At the time of the finding
of the body there were no marks of
identification upon it, but inquiries
throughout the city resulted in the
identity of the body as that of Trudeau,
who was missing from home yester-
day.

demonstration was George VI. Rommei,
chief of the animal husbandry division OF

the bleating Of sheep or the music by
which ehanticleer utters his pent-up 1
