The badly mangled boily of b man,
thought to be, from papers found In his
pockets, Thomas Sylvester of Chapman,
Neb., was found yesterday morning on tho
tracks of tho Chicago & Northwestern
railroad holwccn Honey Crcclc and I.ove
land. Thu body was brought to this city
yesterday afternoon nnd Is now awaiting
Identification and disposition nt hslep s
undertaking rooms. Tho condition of the
body indicates Hint probably more than ono
train had ron over It.
When passenger train No. 5 on tho
Northwestern arrived at Lovclnnd Tues
day night tho engineer notified tho sta
tion agent that ho thought ho had struck
some stock shortly after leaving Ilonoy
Creek, Early yestcrdny morning tho sta
tion agent at I.ovuland sent a man down
tho trnck to Investigate Tho latter, In
stcud of finding any dead or manned cm
tie, discovered tho mangled remains of
a man ono mile north of Honey Creek.
Holh legs wcro ground to pieces and almost
severed from tho trunk. The back of tho
head wns tu-ushed In and tho mangled state
of tho body showed that a number of ears
had passed over It. Tho body was taken
to Honey Creek nnd Coroner Troynor nr
this city was notified. On his orders, tho
remains wpro brought to this city.
Tho only cluo to tho Identity of tho dead
man is a stock pass mado out In tho nnmo
of Thomas Sylvestor of Chapman, Nob.
Ho was apparently about 10 or &0 years ot
age. Ho wore n full brown heard, cut
cloHe. and from his clothing would appear
to bo a stockman.
I'roM'o tii He mi Itnllon.
A later and more thorough investigation
of the papers found on tlm dead man
showed that ho was an Italian and that
his right name was Kugeno Antonio dl
Cesare, although ho seems to havo passed
under tho name of Sylvooter Tony and Tony
Silvester. That ho had recently ennio from
Now York Is evidenced by n pawn ticket
dated September 21, 1900, for a silver
watch, on which $1.25 wns advanced, also
by sovernl letters In Italian addressed to
Antonio dl Ce.iaro, caro of Hanca a
I.egnlte. No. CO Mulberry street. New York
City. A postal card written by HnlTaelo dl
Vlerro from Kreoland, l'a., to tho dead
mnn, in care of tho bank In Now York,
Indicates that the latter was In that town
during tho latter part of lflOO.
A contract signed by J. Freeman, agent
of tho. Union Pacific railroad at Chapman,
Neb., dated January 7i 1001, and mndo out
In tho nnmo of Tony Silvester, would In
dicate that tho dead man left that placo
on that dato In charge of a shipment of
hogs consigned to tho Cooper Commission
company at South Omaha. Arooug tho dead
man's effects also was a puy envelope of
the Uppor Lehigh Coal company mado out
In the namo of Sylvester Tony for 17.67.
The envelope does not hear any date. Only
C cents In money wns found on him, al
though ho was well provided with clothing,
as ho was wearlug thrco shirts, ono vest,
three coats and four pairs of trousers.
Coroner Troynor has not decided when
ho will hold an Inquest, as he Is waiting to
hear from tho railroad ofllclula.

tiff nnd other taxpayers of I'ottnwnttnnilo
