THE REMAINS OF JOE FREED
Body of the Accident Victim Shipped to Home of His Brother for Burial

A reply to the telegram sent Tuesday night to Farmington, Ia., to a brother of Joe Freed, the Montana young man who met death in this city that evening while trying to board a moving freight train on the C.R.I. & P. at the corner of Fifth and Gaines street, was received yesterday and contained instructions for the forwarding of the remains to that place, where they will be buried.
