BODIES OF HOME MEN FOUND IN REFRIGERATOR CAR

Word was received Tuesday that the bodies of John Cameron and Alfred McCourt had been found in a refrigerator car at Butte, Montana. The coroner at that place declared they had probably been dead for five days.

Matt McCourt, brother of one of the men, left Tuesday night for Butte, Mont., to identify the men and he brought the bodies back Wednesday morning on No. 4.

The body of McCourt was taken to the McNulty parlors and that of Cameron to Ace’s parlors, where they were prepared for burial.

Funeral services for John Cameron were held at the home of his mother on No. 1 Hill on Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock.

Funeral services for Alfred McCourt were held from the home of his sister, Mrs. Ted Davis, on No. 1 Hill, at 3 o’clock Thursday afternoon, Rev. R.N. Cloud officiating at both services.

John Cameron was 34 years of age and was born in Butler County, Pa. Alfred McCourt was 41 years of age and was born in England.

The untimely death of both young men is most regrettable and the families of both parties have the sympathy of their many friends.
