Show REMAINS OF YOUTH TAKEN TO OVERTON The remains of Wllber Huntsman, the 16-year-old boy who was ground to pieces beneath the wheels of a U. P. train near Lund, passed through St. George last Friday night on the way to Moapa valley where they will be buried beside the grave of his mother. The father of the lad, Alonzo Huntsman, of Pleasant Grove, accompanied accom-panied the remains. The body of the unfortunate youth was horribly mangled and cut, and no possible means of identification was found by the trackwalker who made the gruesome find. Officers who investigated in-vestigated found a high school cap with the initials M. V., near the body, and through this agency identification was established. The head was cut from the body, I both legs were mashed, both feet cut off, arms mashed and one hand nearly severed and the other so badly mangled man-gled that it was hardly distinguishable as a hand. It is believed from the condition of the remains that several trains had passed over the unfortunate youth before be-fore the trackwalker discovered his tragic fate. |
