Who is the Dead Man?

John Pilmer, who came down from Caldwell yesterday afternoon on a freight 
train, says there is a dead man lying by the track just beyond the Snake river 
bridge, near what is known as the Landon spur, some twenty miles from Payette.  
The train did not stop, but Mr. Pilmer could see that the man’s head had been 
crushed and he had apparently been killed by falling from a moving train.  
There was a man with some small children near by who appeared to be watching 
the body, and it is supposed that the coroner had been notified.  From the 
ragged clothing and general appearance of the body, as seen from the passing 
train, Mr. Pilmer thinks the man was a tramp, and must have lain there in the 
broiling sun for several hours.
