Burnett Shrontz has been dead since August second, while his anxious parents have been trying to obtain some trace of his whereabouts. The details of the sad occurrence is as follows: In July, Burnett Shrontz, with his parents consent, went to Kansas City to work in the packing houses during the strike. Roy Hewitt and he started from Kansas City the first of August for St. Louis and got as far as Jefferson City, when for some reason they were left by their train. They tried to get on a freight train to go the rest of the way, but Hewitt was detected and pulled off by a brakeman. Burnett went a far as Washington, Mo., where he was found dead on top of a car. It was supposed that he had been killed in going through a tunnel. The body was buried as unidentified. In the mean time Roy Hewitt returned home, thinking his companion had succeeded in reaching the World's Fair city. Burnett's parents became more and more anxious as the weeks passed and they did not hear from their son and finally Mr. Shrontz went to St. Louis to try to trace him. There he obtained a clue that led him to write the railroad officials and they referred him to the coroner of the county where the accident of last summer occurred. He became convinced that it was his boy that was put into the unnamed grave there last August and on Monday he started for that place to bring the remains home ....
