: John Sells, who was employed as a track-walker on the Santa Fe between Bosworth and Dean Lake, was found near the railroad last Monday morning dead. Mr. Sells was married to Miss Cora Elder of Carrollton last spring. Mr. Sells had apparently been sitting on or near the track at the cattle guards asleep and was struck sometime about midnight. His skull was crushed but his body was otherwise only slightly - bruised. He was found by Aaron Pennigton of near Bosworth.
