James Lawson, Head Brakeman on
North Bound Freight Train,
Found Under Wheels
Last Night.
NO ONE SAW ACCIDENT
Rear Brakeman Who Was closing the
Switch, Found the Body as He
Made His Way up
the Tracks.

James Lawson, head brakeman Oh
a Burlington freight train. which was
going north last night, was killed in
the keokuk yards about 11:22 O'Clock.
His body was found on the tracks by
the rear brakeman who was coming up
from closing the switch. The mans
body was cut in two and one arm and
hand severed from the trunk. No one
saw the accident, nor is it known Just
how Lawson met his death. The acci-
dent happened near the ice houses,
north OF the shops.
The train was an extra freight and
had gone into the siding to allow
passenger to clear The rear brake
man had completed closing the switch
and was walking up the track when
he discovered the torn body. An in
vestigation was Immediately begun to
find what had happened
The brakeman's lantern was found
on the top of a refrigerator car
There was little ice on the roof OF
the car, and car roofs were all more
CT less wet and slippery from the
rain II Is believed that the brakeman
may have gone there to get some ice
for some purpose. and may have slip
ped down between the cars.
There was a report in circulation
that a shot was heard. Whether this
was a torpedo on the track, or wheth-
er the brakeman had been having
trouble with tramps is a matter of
speculation. There is no actual evil
dence in the matter, although an in
vestigation by special agents is being
made.
Lawson lives in Hannibal and is
man about thirty years of age. He
acted as special agent for the Burling-
ton and was well known around here.
The body will be taken to his home
in Hannibal this afternoon.
