Man Killed South of Cambridge

Ellis Lee, aged 35, employed at Valley Junction and son of James Lee, living in Polk county south of Cambridge, was found in pieces along the Rock Island tracks south of Cambridge Sunday morning. Supposably [sic] he had some up to Cambridge on the cars and started to walk home; though it is suggested that his watch is missing and that he might have been murdered and then put on the track to be run over. The Polk county coroner, however, took it to be a case of accidental death.
