PROBE STRANGE DEATH OF MAN ON UsfrTRACKS Wife of Salvation Army Cap tain Abandons Him in Dark Without Seeking to ; Learn His Fate. Kearney,. Neb., Oct. - S. Special Telegram.) Capt. P. H. Shaffer; commander of the Salvation Army here, was killed early Friday -morning on the Union Pacific tracks near Buda by" a train. The body, found after daylight, was badly mutilated, the wheels of the train having passed over the upper part of the chest completely , severing the head and right arm. . ' Because of the unusual circum stances attending the death, a cor onor's inquest was called for. Mrs. Shaffer states that she, her husband and a second woman were enroute home from Hastings by auto about 2 this morning. Just a few hundred yards east of the Buda station the supply of gas gave out and Captain Shaffer went in search of more. He had been gone but a few minutes when she heard a scream and saw a train approach ing from the west. She waited for some time, but did not investigate! At last another car came up and its driver asked if she were in trouble. When she answered in the affirmative, he coupled the two cars together and the entire party started for Kearne without deter mining what fate had befallen the captain. V , Mrs. Shaffer gave fear of' negroes working on the track at this point as the reason that she did not search for her husband. Investigations on the ground dis closed Captain Shaffer's coat and hat lying several hundred feet from the point where the , body was found. Apparently he had been carrying them when death overtook him. It was this conflicting evi dence which decided the inquest Captain Shaffer has been in charge of the Salvation army work in Kearney for two years and lately has been working hard on the na tional drive and a project for erect ing a new hall.
