Sunday a telegram was received here
from Duncan that train No. 3 going-west
passed a man lying dead near the track
about a quarter of a mile west of the
Loup bridge. Sheriff Bloedorn, acting
as coroner, immediately went to the
place and found a man with his left arm
cut off and the back of bis head all
crushed in. He appeared to be a Poland
er and 19 to 22 years old. There was
found on his person $20.35 in money, a
pocket-knife and a lead pencil, but
nothing to tell his name or give a clue
to it. A jury waa aammoned Monday
consisting of L Gluck, Job. Tiffany, Jos.
Willard. A. M. Jenninga,L.M.SaIeyand
James Bradshaw, who held a aaanvon
Monday and meet again today (Tuaaday)
to hear testimony of engmeeta aad
firemen.
Mrs. Honeycut saw a man coming from
the west and noticed that he weaved to
and fro across the track, sometimes get
ting down off the grade, and wondered
what was wrong, finally seeing him sit
down on the-track, near if not exactly
at the spot where the mangled body was
found.
It would seem that he must have been
a resident of Platte county, near Dun
can, aa he had been here time and again,
but so far nobody seems able to recog
nize him bv name.
