Elliott, a former Perry man, near Granger, Wyo. last Thursday, and it is believed by the authorities investigating the occurrence that he was murdered. Mr. Elliott, whose home had ben at Kemmerer, Wyo., for ten years past, started Thursday on a business trip to Ogden and Salt Lake. At Granger he transferred from the Union Pacific main line for the Utah branch, and that was the last seen of him alive. The next morning a U.P. signal man found him lying dead beside the track ten miles out from Granger. Whether he had fallen there in an of heart trouble, to which he was subject or had been thrown from the train is a problem that has not yet been solved. A heavy blow had been dealt him on the forehead, but this could have been the result of the fall. However, a purse containing in the neighborhood of $75 was missing, though a few dollars in change remained in another pocket, and this fact seemed to lend color to the robbery and murder theory. Neither the train crew nor say passenger who could be located was able to shed any light on the tragedy, which bids fair to remain an unsolved mystery. Deceased is well remembered by old timers here, where he operated a restaurant on the Jenkins corner about twenty years ago. Prior to that he was a machinist in the railroad shops at Topeka. He lived in Nebraska for a time after leaving Perry. He was a brother-in-law of M. W. Shortall and Stephen Burke. The body was brought to Newman Monday for burial in the Catholic cemetery there, which followed services conducted at the church by Father Herron. All the surviving family were present-his wife and three daughters, Misses Caroline and Catherine of Kemmerer and Mrs. Calvin Sellstrom of Pocatello, Idaho.
