Killed by Cars.
New Hampton Tribune:—The mutilated remains of a man were found on the track by the Great Western section crew north of Devon this morning. Coroner Landon was called and the investigation as to the cause of death disclosed nothing as to the man’s identity. A sheet of note paper with “Mark Balen, Metz, Iowa,” was all that was found on his person. Death probably resulted from falling between the cars.
