HUNTER FUNERAL
IS Hello TO-DAY
Victim Of Accident Wednesday Night
Laid to Rest Today Follow

O'Clock.
THEORIES OF ACCIDENT
Position In Which Body Was Found
Points to Fact That Hunter
Was Standing When
Struck.

The funeral of Russell Hunter, the
seventeen year old boy who lost his
life Wednesday night at 1874 o'clock
when he was run down by Wabash
freight train a few yards from the
Keokuk end Of We bridge, was held this
afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock from the un'
dertaking establishment Of 1. s. Ack
ley. The services were largely attend
| ed and there were beautiful floral
Oil erings sent by the friends of this
latest accident victim. Burial was
made in Oakland cemetery. The body
bearers were Stanley Jackson. Victor
Olson, Edward Hartrick, Irwin Hart
rick, Paul Peterson and Russell Fry.
The feeling today seems stronger
than ever in favor Of the theory that
| the young man caught his foot in a
frog at the Junction of the bridge track
and the interurban track.
The upper part of the body was
found in position that points almost
directly to the fact that Hunter fell
directly after being struck. The head
was toward the station when the up
per part Of the body was found. It is
believed that when she fell he grabbed
hold of the pilot. The head was found
lodged in between a frog. Clothing
caught in the wheels and the torso
was dragged for 100 yards.
Otto Jackson, personal friend OF
Hunters and former employer, ad-
vanced an interesting theory this
morning. The interurban car had
passed but few minutes before the
accident happened and the switch was
lcpened for it. He stated that there
was a possibility that Hunter stepped
in the intersection Of the track the
Wabash came over and the interurban
track, Just as the switchman threw
the switch back for the train, in this
manner having his foot caught through

undoubtedly took him minute or
more to walk to the scene OF the &C
cident which is over 4 hundred yards
away The train passed the Keokuk
end of the bridge at 1874. This left
! between one and two minutes fol-
Hunter to be in the neighborhood ol
where he was struck. This was toe
short a time for him to do some OF
1 the several impossible things attrib
uted to him.
The death has come as severe
blow to the family and friends of this
we'll thought of young man and al
have the sympathy OF the entire com
munity.
1t was certainly a distressing acct
dent and the city has been sincerely
shocked by it.
