body lay within IL feet of the track.
The only mutilation of the body was a
large gouge in the skull and wound
over the right ear about four inches
long and 1-2 inches wide.
After MIR. Fox had discovered the
body of his co-worker, he called DR..
II. H. Hahn of this place and the un-
dertaker, Mr.. Hagelbarger. The lat
ter removed the body to the station
and called Coroner Stokes.
After viewing the remains and MAX
ing a thorough examination of the
cause of death, Coroner Stokes filed
out the necessary papers and the
body was turned over to the Hagel-
barger Undertaking Co. of this place.
The deceased lived about l IL
miles north of Brinkhaven, He was
a married man and leaves a wife and
five children. He was 46 years OF

In the Iull between the fighting all

The superintendent says that about so
per cent of the articles are made disable

waste. There is always something for
which an ingenious mechanic can find
place, refuting the belief that in war
all is waste.
