THE NEW IN IOWA

The trainmen on a Chicago & Northwestern train that passed through Lawn Hill a few days ago reported that they had seen a dead man beside the track about a mile est. The section men were sent at once to investigate and found a body torn all to pieces and scattered along the track. It was identified as the body of James Hanson, a farmer, who loved about half way between Union and Gifford. He leaves a wife and twelve children.
