Man Killed By Train

The unknown man killed by a northbound freight train here last Thursday afternoon, was buried Friday afternoon in the city cemetery north of Bellevue. He may have been one William Esty, which name was found on a card in one of his pockets. Communication with a Chicago address also found failed to definitely identify the man.
