railroad accident in Joplin, Mo-, to have
made all arrangements for the funeral

AS related in the T.-R. Saturday. MI.
McManus received word from Joplin
that his father, Frank McManus, had
been killed in railroad accident. He
at once notified George B. Sellers, a
brother-in-law of this city, saying that
the funeral would be held here today,

several days. In the meantime . man
was killed In a railroad accident, and
the rooming house keeper thinking
that it might be McManus. went to the
undertaking parlors. Whether the
dead mans body was understandable.
or whether the rooming house keeper
jumped at conclusions, is not known,
but he positively identified it as the
body Of McManus. who had left his
suitcase with the landlord several days
before and had not been seen since.
The sheriff was called in, and the suit
case opened, disclosing a picture OF
George McManus, of Des Moines, a.
