***
DR. ISHERWOOD IS
KILLED AT CROSSING.
Date of Inquest Into Death of Carl
Junction Physician Is Not
Yet Decided.
The date for a coroner's inquest in the death of Dr. H. L. Isherwood, widely known Carl Junction physician, who was instantly killed shortly before noon yesterday when a motor car he was driving was struck by a north-bound Kansas City Southern passenger train a half-mile east of Waco.
The cause of the accident has not been determined, but persons who are familiar with the road at the railroad crossing say that a view of the track is partly obstructed by a bank of earth. Dr. Isherwood was returning from a professional call at Waco, driving east. He was alone.
Body Badly Mutilated.
The body, mutilated almost beyond recognition, was taken to Asbury by the train crew, then brought to Joplin by the undertaking department of the Roney Mercantile Company of Carl Junction.
Dr. Isherwood had made his home at Carl Junctlon for thirty-five years, and was a former mayor of the town. He was president of the Citizens' Bank of Carl Junction, and owned extensive tracts of land near Carl Junction and Smithfleld.
Funeral arrangements were incomplete last night.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Susie Isherwood; a son, Ebert Isherwood, of Carl Junction; a daughter, Mrs. H. A. Henley, of Columbus, Kan., formerly of Joplln; two brothers, A. D. Isherwood of St. Louis, and Dr. T. G. Isherwood of Chicago.
