He went up on the morning train and leanred that Albert Johnson, a logger had literally been cut to pieces Sunday night by the north bound freight. Johnson had been working for George Kelly for four days, and after drinking heavily since Saturday night purchased a bottle of whiskey at Jack La Bross saloon and started for camp, about three fourths of a mile from town. His body was found strewn along the track about a fourth of a mile north of town and it is believed he laid down to sleep on the track.
