the boys separated and concluded to
jump from tho train when It reached
the stockyards east of the Sidney sta
tion. When Inst seen alive by his
companions young Matson was stand
ing ontho bumpers between two cars;
.their next view of him was his man
gled remains. Whether young Mat

and fell under tho wheels, or whether
he lost his footing and fell, will never
bo known, but he was instantly killed
by the wheels passing over his chest,
crushing it, amputating both arms
above the elbow, and badly cutting
and bruising the body.
The accident was not discovered

home since Sunday, and tho parents
supposed he was staying with some
young man friend In some other part
of the city. The receipt of a telegram
announcing his death was, of course,
a great shock to tho parents.
