DEATH ON RAILROAD TRACK
Frank R. Williams Loses His Life at Leeds

HIT BY OR FELL FROM A TRAIN

Man Had Been Drinking and When Body Was Found Watch and Money Had Been Taken
and He May Have Been Slugged and Robbed.

The body of a man identified as Frank Williams, a traveling salesman for the
Columbia Optical company of Omaha, was found near the Illinois Central
Railroad tracks a mile south of Leeds on Friday morning.

Williams, who had been in the employ of the Omaha concern for a number of
years, his territory being Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas, was seen in Leeds as
late as nine o'clock Thursday night. He was drinking and those who drank
when he invited them to the bar classed him as a "spectacle peddler" because
he displayed a number of gold rimmed eye glasses, making the statement that
he dealt in that class of goods.

He seemed to have plenty of money, wore a handsome gold watch and chain, and
spent freely, newly made friends in Leeds being numbered by the score, but
when he was found dead beside the Illinois Central tracks Friday morning his
watch and chain were gone, as was also his money, with the exception of 35
cents, 10 cents being found in one of his trouser pockets and a quarter in
one of his vest pockets.

Shortly before 8 o'clock Thursday night Williams met Officer Luce, and to
him derided the police department for its apparent inefficiency because of
its inability to apprehend perpetrators of crime, according to a statement
made by Luce.

To a crowd who assembled around the body before Undertaker Westcott arrived,
Luce made the statement that he told Williams that he had better get out of
town, as he wasn't needed in Leeds.

Those who saw and talked to Williams stated that he had advised with them,
finally deciding to return to Sioux City and catch a train for the east. He
started in the direction of the Illinois Central depot and that was the last
seen of him until his dead body was found more than a mile east of that
point.

The clothing of Williams was in no manner ruffled or disheveled, indicating
that he did not fall from a swiftly moving train. At a point perhaps ten
feet from where the body lay were imprints in the mud which would indicated
the dragging of the body. Aside from this there was nothing to show that
Williams met his death by falling from a train.

His body rested on the left side, both knees drawn up and his overcoat
folded across the body as if by human hands. The clothing was in no manner
torn, nor were there cinder marks or other scratches on the face to indicate
a fall.

Less than two feet away was found the hat of the dead man. Aside from
slight stains on the face, no blood marks were visible, either on the body
or on the ground.

Hasty examination showed that Williams' neck was dislocated and his right
leg fractured in two places, while there was an ugly scar on his forehead as
if made by some blunt instrument.

Frank Lewis, who works in the tannery at Leeds, discovered the body about
nine o'clock. He immediately summoned L.C. Russell and Joseph McMurray, who
resided nearby, and all three declared that the body had not been disturbed.

Akron Register
March 11, 1909

Quite a number of friends assembled at the depot Monday to bid good-bye
to Mr. and Mrs. Milo Mills and their family, who were leaving for
Clarkston, Washington.  The general impression is that altogether too
many of the old residents are leaving.  Mr. and Mrs. Mills and family
have been closely identified with our church, school, social and
business matters, and will be greatly missed along those lines, as well
as for the deep friendships they had formed.  It is hoped they will be
well pleased with their new home and associations.  Through these items
Mr. and Mrs. Mills wish to express their thanks and appreciations of all
the kindness and courtesies shown them since they have been preparing to
leave, and also to say that friends coming west must remember that they
will always find the "latch string' out, and a warm welcome at the Mills
home.  Another departure that is regretted by many is that of Lee
Waddington and his most estimable family.  Mr. Waddington is a man that
has been thoroughly honorable in all business deals.  We wish them
prosperity and happiness in their new home.
