Huntingburg, Ind., June 29.- Theheadless body of a woman was found by the section crew on the right-of-way of the Louisvüle, Evansville and St. Louis railway, two miles west of here. The position of her body indicated that shehad lain down to sleep with her head on the rail, her body being to the right cf the track. The woman was seen in Huntingburg and gave her name as Mrs. Sommers, a dressmaker of Evansville. She was about 40 years old. It is surmised from her talking that her mind was affected. It is thought she intended to walk to Evansville on thetrack, but took the wrong road, and in the darkness became confused and lay down to sleep until daylight. She told persons here that she owned property in Evansville, but on account of the recent death of her daughter she eould not bear to live there any longer. She had no money on her person.
