MANGLED BODY FOUND.

The mangled body of an unidenti-
fed white man was found on the
Illinois Central track near Echols,
early last Friday. morning Only a
Chicago labor union card was found
on the mans body to indicate any
thing in regard to his identity. The
condition of the card made 1t impos-
sible to determine the mans name or
the particular labor organization to
which it referred. The man was
about forty years old and dressed as
a laborer. His left leg and right arm
were completely severed from his
body, and his face and body were
badly mangled. The manner of the
mans death is not definitely known.
but 1t is supposed he was beating
his way on one of the early morning
trains, and that the suffocating gases
inhaled while passing through the
tunnel between Rockport and Ech-
OILS, rendered him unconscious, and
that he fell between the cars and
was ground to pieces.
