Gust street bridge. The body, which
was horribly mutilated, was brought
back to Davenport on the train and
taken to the undertaking rooms of o.
c. Hill. 1t will be retained awaiting
identification. The engineer said he
had not seen the man crossing the
tracks and it was presumed that he did
not stop the train for mile after
passing the point. The train arrived
at the Davenport depot about o'clock,
sometime after the accident happened
The man was carrying shells In his
pockets and it is presumed that he was
a farm hand and was out hunting for
rabbits The shells exploded in his
pockets and this helped to tear the
body. When it was picked up and
brought back here it was impossible
to identify it. Only the feet and lower
parts of the legs were left intact The
man wore good pair of overshoes,
with three or four buckles on them, a
duck-coat and pair Of buckskin
gloves.
