.--..' ..·..... IS :IDIENTIFED BODY THAT OF JOHN COLEMAN A LABORER. WAS TERRIBLY MANGLED Supposed He Tried to Bard a Train-Deceased Had Brother at Sheridap. From Wednesday's Daily Gazette. The decapitated body of the man found in the Northern Pacific yards yesterday morning at 1 o'clbck wa identified yesterday forenoon as at of John Coleman, a laborer. The news of the finding of e body as published in The Gaze e yester day morning aroused t curiosity of many, who believ that they might have kn wn th an in his life time. At ab t 10 o'clock Under taker Smith pen his establish ment- and a l ge umber were given the opportun ty view the body in the hopes of meone being able to recognize a identify it. Among the number as Billy Gray, a bar tender for . A. Wells, who at a glance recognized the face of John Coleman, whom he had known for years. The identification being com plete, Coleman's brother, Jerry Cole-. man, who is a freight conductor on the Burlington with headquarters at Sheridan, Wyo., was notified of the particulars. Coroner Chapple was out of the city when the accident was reported and in his absence the county attor ney authorized Justice Fraser to im panel a jury for the purpose of hold ing an inquest. This was done by the selection of W. B. Ten Eyck, J. J. Walk, Nick Klos, C. W. Forester, John M. Ramsey and L. H. Parker. Soon after a message was received from the coroner, who was at Miles City, that the body should be held until today, as he would return on the night train. The coroner was then notified that a jury had been im panelled, but that his pleasure would be awaited. Word was received from him later in the day authorizing the justice to proceed with the in quest. At 5 o'clock the inquiry was held in Justice Fraser's office and resulted in a verdict that the deceas ed came to his death by being run over by a Northern Pacific train. Coleman's brother will arrive in the city this morning from Sheridan, and no disposition of the remains will be made until he has been con ferred with. The body of Coleman was discov ered by Mr. Roland, fireman on the Northern Pacific switch engine. The engine was running to the round house for the* purpose of taking water at about 1 o'clock, and when it reached the switch Roland got down off the engine to turn the switch. As he did so he discovered the body. He made known the fact to Jos. Lowry, the engineer, and they immediately notified the authorities and the body was ordered removed to the undertaking rooms. At that time there were no means of identi fying the dead man, as there was nothing on the body that tended to establish the man's identity. The body when found was lying between the rails, with the head, which had been severed from the shoulder blades, about ten feet away outside the rails. The arms had been crushed just above the wrists. It is not hard to conjecture as to how Coleman met his death. It is thought that he attempted to board the Burlington twain in the hopes of "bumming" his way to Omaha and missing his foot hold fell between the wheels and was crushed to death. Only the 'day previous he was in sev eral business places of the city. He visited Jeff Davis' barber shop at about 3:30 p. m. and was shaved and had a hair cut. At that time he stated that he had been working on the Burlington grade, but the work shutting down he was now looking for another job. He also stated that his name was Coleman and that he would like to get to Omaha for the Fourth of July, as ther was to be a big time there, but would not be able to go, as his finances would not permit. To Mr. Gray he stated that he in tended to get out that night for Ohaha, and Mr. Gray believes that he fell under the train while trying to beat his way. He was known to have been drink ing that night. Colelgn was about 38 years of age, and of splendid physique. Bring us your shoe repairing. Post office basement. 6-ttU ST.

Dunlap of Chicago, donated by the North Amer ican Livestock Commission Co. of Chicago and to be awarded for the best bunch of cattle and the best bunch of sheep. These elegant cups are of sterling silver, gold lined, handsomely ornamented and nine inches in height, five inches across the top and fifteen inches in circum ference. One of the cups, in relief, is the figure of a sheep, on the other that of a bull. Captain Dunlap chose his long-time friend, Colonel Chas. H.

HINTS FOR FARMERS Fertilizers For Garden Crops. Upon tomatoes it was found that the ase of 150 pounds per acre of nitrate bf soda gave an increase of $160 worth in the crop; or $53.33 for every dollar the soda cost. One hundred and twen ty pounds of sulphate of ammonia in creased it $44.26 for each dollar of cost, and 200 pounds of dried blood gave $22.55 for the dollar of cost. On pouskmelons the same quantities of each were tested, and nitrate of soda increased the yield 115 per cent over plots that had no extra nitrogen, dried blood increased it 91 per cent and sul phate of ammonia 87 per cent. When larger amounts were used, the yield was less, as the vines seemed to grow too rank and bore less fruit. The same kinds and amounts of 'fertilizers were tried upon sweet corn, and the average increase of ears was 21.1 per cent with nitrate of soda, 25.4 with sulphate of emmonia and 34.9 per cent with dried blood. In this case it was thought that much of the soluble nitrogen in the chemicals was leached down below the corn roots before the development of ears began. Increasing the amount used generally gave better results on the corn Growing Table Beets. Upon a sandy loam land which had been for ten years heavily manured and cropped with table beets and cel ery it was found by the New Jersey station that the use of nitrate of soda in amounts varying from 400 to 700 pounds per acre, in three equal appli cations, hastened the maturing of the crop. At the first pulling and making of two pound bunches there was 03 per cent more on nitrated plots than on those without the nitrate. At a second pulling, four days later, the nitrated plots gave 135 per cent mo,'e bunches. and at third pulling, three days later, there was ]71/? per cent more, after which they produced about equal amounts. The greatest gain per acre by use of nitrate was where they used 700 pounds per acre, $27.10 more than where nitrate was not used. This was ue -to the higher price obtained for the earlier pullings and amounted to about $3 for every dollar the nitrate cost. Beut Pasture Grasses. I have tried 20 varieties of grasses and find the orchard grass is the most valuable pasture grass in the world, says Professor Carr of the Rhode Is land Agricultural college. Second to it is redtop, third crested dogtall and fourth meadow foxtail. The latter is the first grass in the spring to grow. You will have the first bite for the ani mals of meadow foxtail in the spring when the other grasses are just begin ning to grow. It will grow during April and May, and then it takes a rest until September. In the autumn there is a most bountiful growth of meadow foxtaill, and it is one of the most valua ble of pasture grasses. Fifth, I have two varieties of fescue. There I stop. All others I have discarded, and these are enough, because they include varl eties that will grow from the very first in the spring, as soon as the snow goes itw'y, and come on In succepsive stages with fresh growth all through the sea son until winter sci~: In.
