Notice was given to Agent Meagher, and Coroner A. Heintz with a jury consisting of J.C. Tiffany, O.L. Baker, F.J. Hauter, T.W. Resh, T. McTaggart and J.F. Berney were soon on the ground. The body was brought in a box car to the city, and a thorough examination made. There were bruises about the chest and hips and his testicles were crushed; Dr. Heintz is of the opinion that this last injury was the immediate cause of death. When McCray found the body, it was yet warm and froth was issuing from the mouth. Sheriff Caldwell, who assisted the coroner, took charge of the few personal effects found. There was a letter, stamped for mailing, directed to Miss Anna Graham, 510 Mery street, Denver, Col., dated at Woodburn, Neb., a post office in Loup township. The letter was signed by Rosie Kurth, Genoa, Neb. A cabinet photograph of the same young lady was found, with a ring and pocket knife and a memorandum book, in which was noted a reference to Sol C. Towslee and J.L. Squires. The remains were removed to Henry Gass's undertaking rooms and prepared for burial. The jury instructed Sheriff Caldwell to go to Woodburn and learn what he could. It is difficult to conjecture just how the young man came to his death, whether he had fallen from the car, or whether he tried to board the train and was thrown, or whether he had been murdered, which seems likely, as there was evidence of considerable struggling where the body was found. It has not been so very long since a dead body was found near this same place under somewhat suspicious circumstances. Two men who were on the ground, saw the man's wounds, etc., declare it as their firm belief that he had been on a train, may be trying to steal a ride, and had been kicked off, while the train was in motion. As we go to press, Sheriff Caldwell has not returned from Woodburn. Columbus Journal (Columbus, Nebraska) Wednesday, August 13, 1890 Page 3, Column 3 HARTFORD--The name of the man found dead last Monday week near the west end of the R.R. Loup bridge, was Frank H. Hartford, son of Harrison Hartford of Merrick county. Miss Kurth said that Sunday evening, about 5 o'clock was the last she saw Hartford alive. He intended to walk to Duncan and take a train for Fremont. He was seen as late as 10 o'clock Sunday night sitting on the railroad platform at Duncan. He told some one there that he was going to board a train for Fremont. These facts Sheriff Caldwell learned on his trip to Woodburn, and the coroner's jury decided that Hartford came to his death from bodily injuries inflicted in a manner to the jurors unknown. Columbus Journal (Columbus, Nebraska) Wednesday, August 13, 1890 Page 3, Column 1 The remains of F. H. Hartford, the man found dead Monday week near the Loup bridge were taken to Octavia, Butler County, Wednesday.
