He was subject to epileptic fits,

He did not call physician and did
not go to work Monday or Tuesday
Tuesday morning he helped his wife
about the house and left at II o'clock
for downtown. He did not come
home for dinner nor during the af-
ternoon.
'He was in the habit of drinking
Saturday nights and sometimes went
home while under the influence of
liquor.
"He drank at times, usually Sat
urday nights and at times would
drink to excess, and had come home
under the influence of liquor. AT the
time of the accident he smelled
strongly of liquor from the mouth.

hEARp VOICE oE PEOPLE.

Minnesota the state fair publica-

the legislature because that body
failed to respond to the call for
more money for the states show.
The legislature listened to the voice
OF the people and cut the
appropriation for the fair Any
more such vicious outbursts on
the part of Minnesota" may result
IN cutting off entirely the supply
of funds that are given to the fair

Ground Under Engine
From Mondays Daily.

from Mondays Daily.
Ground to death under the wheels
of a switch engine in the Chicago
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha
railroad yards, his shredded remains
almost unacceptable, and scattered
| for considerable distance along
| the track, are the distressing cir.
cumstances which mark the tragic
end of George Craver, a day labor
er and well-known character in Man
kato.a Pieces of his mangled body
were discovered near the rails by
G. l.. White, switchman, about 4:3O
O'Clock Sunday morning.
! Craver was last seen in the Union
depot about 2 a. IN. Sunday morning
He was requested to leave the place
by Gle Johnson, night ticket clerk
who awakened the man from his
sleep in the mems waiting room and
led him out of the door on the west
side of the depot That he had been
! indulging in liquor was evident.
However, he walked out of the de-
pot unassisted. This was the last
seen of him alive. About one
O'Clock that morning Craver was
seen in the depot by Harry Burg,
who drives the mail wagon and is
in the employ of Eugene Coy.
Trains Pulled Out of Town.
The first section of Omaha freight
train No. II, passed through Man
kato at 1887 a. m. on the
track on the east side of the
depot generally known as the
back track" The second sec
ton of this train left Mankato
at 2:20 a. M, but it passed
through on the main line track on
the west side of the station, so it
could not have run over Craver. Dur
ing the time which elapsed between
the passing of the two sections of
the train through the city, an Oma-
ha switch engine in charge of En-
gineer o. NJ. Ward and Fireman
Henry Broker, passed over the
back track thiyteen times. 1t went
north on this track through the yards
seven times. and returned six. times
returning the fourteenth time on the
main line track on the west side of
the depot While passing to and fro
the engine pulled cars back and
forth to make up the trains in the
yards.
Observed Part of Mans Body.
About 4:90 a. m. Switchman C. l..
White. who was riding the step on
the rear end of the switch engine.
observed an object ON the west side
OF the back track" at a spot about
thirty feet south of the Main street
crossing, which had the appearance
of part of mans body covered
with blood The engine passed on
and ran little beyond the switch,
which is about twenty feet west of
the west end of the station platform.
Here the switchman was Mortified
to find part of mans foot in
shoe wedged in between the thin
rail and the main rail of the switch.
The switch could not be operated
until the shoe and its contents were
removed from the frog"
Switchman White at once realized
that an accident had occurred and
he notified Ticket Clerk Johnson,
who at once called up Night Ser
geant Foley at the police station,
and he in turn sent word to Coro-
ner A. G. Liedloff. Undertaken F. A.
