COUNTIAN KILLED HOPPING FREIGHT

A man killed Monday night while trying to board a Burlington railway passenger train at Pacific Junction, Iowa, was identified Tuesday as Charles Schwatka of Nashville, Nebr., who has a brother living at 5431 North Thirty Fifth street. For several hours no identification was possible owing to the fact that he had only fragments of paper in his pockets, several of which were the fronts of envelopes with misleading addresses on them, indicating that he had been a transient for some time.

Surviving are his father, Charles Schwatka of Nashville, Nebr., two brothers from Omaha, Clifford and Francis, and three other brothers, John of Portland, Oregon and Harry and Joe, addresses unknown.
