The remains were scattered along the track and part of the clothing was on the COW catcher when the train reached Tupelo En- gineer Holt, who was running the en- zine, stated that he saw something ly- ing near the west rail when 40 or DO yards distant. but thought it a dead calf or bundle of paper.
