/, troops receiving supplies.

A grewsOme find, that of a body of
a man cut in two by a train, was made
yesterday morning near the Milwaukee
tracks to the rear of shops of Deere q,
Co. There were no means of identi-
fcatiOn except the labels in his
clothes.
The man was about 50 years of age
Although he wore no hat or coat, the
material in his clothes was of the fin
est quality. This makes officials loath
to believe that the victim had been
cumming. although his pockets con-
tanned only a few cents in money The
shoes bore the trade mark of a Gales
burg concern, his shirt the label of a
Chicago store.
No witnesses to the accident have
been found. Whether he was struck by
a freight train which passed about
in the morning, or by the passenger
train which passed at 4, is not known.
The body was severed at the waist
and death must have been instantan-
eOus. Remains were taken TO the
Knox undertaking parlors, where an
inquest will be held.

Members Of Commission.
CITY TO PURCHASE
NEW STREET ROLLER

An abbreviated city council this
morning approved specifications for a
new three wheel. lotion street roller.
which will be purchased by the city OF
Moline to replace the old worn
lS-ton roller which has been used in
the past.
Only three members OF the city
council were present. Mayor Carlson
is in the east attending the Elks' ma
tional convention and Commissioner
Ed Ericsson is i'll at his home, leaving
Commissioners c. Y. Johnson, A. c.
Stouffer and W. A Macbeth to con-
stitute a quorum.
The new street roller will cost ap-
proximately 50 900, according TO esti-
mate, definite figure not vet having
been obtained. IL will be operated by
either gas or steam.
The old 1S-ton roller is not only
worn out, but ii has always been too
heavy for the city's purposes. The
city uses the steam roller 10 grade
streets and for rolling asphalt after
it is laid, contractor who has the paw
ing contract renting the roller from
the city. In this manner the roller
eventually is made TO pay for itself
and is "self-supporting" during its
life.
Only other business transacted al
this mornings session Of the council
was of a routine nature.
