I. tracks between Papineau and St. Anne. The body was completely cut in two at the waist. A southbound train brought the remains to Papineau where it was viewed by a number of people, none of whom seemed able to identify it. DEATH: Finally a boy by the name of Brown, who lives northeast of Papineau, viewed the remains and looking at the shoes and socks of the unfortunate victim, pronounced it the body of his brother who had ridden a freight train from Watseka, that being the only train he could get, to the place where he fell off and was run over. The young man had been working at Piper City and left there Saturday with $70. which he had drawn on his wages. About $68. was found on the body. DEATH: Lonie was the eldest son and only support of a widowed mother who lives on a small farm near Papineau. His death is a hard blow to his mother and a shock to his many friends, as he was an industrious, sober young man and well liked by all.
