CHAS. OLSON
IS KILLED

The body Of a man believed to be
Charles Olson or Charles Johnson was
found late last evening on the tracks
Of the New York Central. near the
Lake Shore depot, Indiana Harbor.
The body was horribly mutilated and
almost beyond Identification. From the
pockets Of the man was found a card
of Local No. Al. Hod Carriers Union,
Hammond. Indiana, bearing the name Of
Charles Olson.
When the police arrived no witnesses
could be found and the trackwalker
who had phoned the police had fled.
The finding of the dead man is a mys-
terry to the police and from the condi-
ton of the body 1t maybe possible that
the man met with foul play.
