Was Killed By Freight Train

Lance E. Barnes, whose home is in Battle Creek, was killed in the Michigan Central yards near the Argo mills Wednesday night, by a midnight eastbound freight train.

The body was found on the tracks an hour later by Frank Garlinghouse, who immediately reported the matter to the police. The boy was conveyed to the baggage room of the station.

Coroner Watts and Undertaker Martin were sent for immediately and after the former viewed the remains, they were taken immediately to Martin's funeral parlors.

The young man, who is about 23 years old, was well and neatly dressed. In his pocket was found a certificate of membership in the Cigar Makers' Union of Jackson, where the young man had been working. A telegram was sent to the superintendent there, who immediately found MR. Barnes' brother. The latter arrived today on the 11:45 train to take charge of the remains.

At the inquest yesterday it was found that Barnes came to his death by being struck by a freight train.

Later--Coroner Watts has just called at the Argus office and says that the dead man is not Barnes. That he is a stranger, unknown to any person here.
