the Nickel Plate railway track a mile west of Buckland at 1
a.m. Tuesday has been identified as Joseph Glen JACKSON, 55,

for the last 20 year. RASHELL heard a description of the dead
man broadcast yesterday afternoon and immediately came to the

Texas, but her name is not known by those who called at the
funeral home last evening. He lived at the Halloran Hotel in

hopped the Nickel Plate west-bound passenger train Monday
night in Lima. He is reported to have been riding the
"blind", a spot between cars on the passenger, when
the train pulled out of Lima. It is surmised that he fell off
shortly after the train left Buckland and landed under the
wheels of the passenger train about a mile west of Buckland.
His body was discovered there by the crew of a west-bound
