Wednesday morning the engineer on
No. II, westbound, reported to the sta
ton agent that the body of a man was
lying along the track little over mile
east OF town. Section Foreman White
went out and found the remains. The
head was lying about a hundred feet
east of where the body lay and arms
and legs were strewn along west of
what was left OF the trunk, as well as
a lot of clothing and shoes. The coro-
ner was notified, and took the body to
Denison. Some time after the body
was found III. J.. AsE1us opened his store
and found that robbers had visited it
during the night and helped themselves
tofvariOus articles. Later Mr.. Asmus
saw the body Of the dead man and on
him saw some Of the clothing and in
the goods gathered UP along the track
more of the stuff stolen from his store.
As all the goods stolen were not with
the body 1t is assumed there We're more
4 than one yeggman concerned. There
was nothing to indicate how the man
came by his death. A watch, an niger
soil he carried, stopped at 4 o'clock,
while No. IL isn't due until 6 a. m. AS
trains coming into town from the east
are on a down grade and go very fast
i 1t is not likely he tried to board one.
Moreover he was headed for MANILA.
He may have met death by foul means.
He was about rs years old, 5 feet
inches tall, small feet and delicate fea-
lures. He was probably a tramp.
There was absolutely nothing on him
to furnish o clue as to his identity. Lat
er: Henry Asmus received word that
the rest of the stolen goods had been
found In sack by the right Of way, SO
the man was evidently working alone.
