Witnesses testified before the coroner's jury that they saw him on the nine o'clock south bound pas- senger in an intoxicated condition and at or near the place where his body was found stop the train by pulling the bell rope and get off. As he was checked for Rich Hill the conductor insisted on his getting back on the train, but the fellow re- fused and the train pulled out and left him, and it is supposed when struck by the north bound freight he was lying on the track in a drunken stupor.

The remains were placed in a box by the coroner, who went up after them on a hand ear, and brought to the Butler depot where they were taken in charge by undertaker Cul ver and put in as decent a shape as possible for burial. The body when taken from the box presented a horrible appearance and was so terribly mutilated that it was unrecognizable. He had on his person when killed $1g.25, a time book and a working card of some stone mason association in Kansas. He was a married man and leaves a wife and three children at Rich Hill. From parties at the depot who were acquainted with him it was learned that he was a worthless fellow and drank up his wages as fast as made, and left his wife to support herself and children.

John Goss, a young man about twenty years of age, was arrested at Rich Hill Friday last for attempting to forge a check on the Rich Hill Bank with H. Loeb’s name signed to it. Mr. Orr, the cashier, mistrust- ed the check when presented for payment and requested the young man to accompany him to the store of Mr. Loeb, this he re- luctantly did and the check was at once pronounced to be a base for- gery. He was taken before Squire Cook and bound over in the sum of three hundred dollars to await the action of the grand jury. Goss failed to give bond and was brought up to jail. He claims his home is a short distance north of this city. When arrested he had several other forged checks on his person and from all appearances had gone reg- ularly into the business.
