Ottumwa tri-weekly courier, March 26, 1912 JAMES BOWES KILLED BY TRAIN TEAMSTER OF BEAR CREEK FOUND ALONG MILWAUKEE TRACKS LAST EVENING. Evidently struck by Milwaukee passenger No. 8 on its way into Ottumwa yesterday evening about 5 o'clock, thebody of James W. Bowes, a teamster of the Phillips Coal Co., was found about 6 o'clock by three men, lying along the tracks just west of the west yards in a badly mangled condition. Just how the accident happened is not known nor is it definitely settled that No. 8 struck the man. He was not run over but he was struck with such force that his body was terribly crushed. A part of his skull had been torn away, his legs were mashed and broken as was one of his arms, and his body was crushed. Bowes was making his way along the tracks for his home in Bear Creek He was seen late in the afternoon, thus bearing out the belief that the train that struck him was No. 8. Three miners on their way home to Ottumwa from Bear Creek, Isaac Forbes, Richard Forbes and J. J. Barr, discovered the body about 6 o'clock. They immediately notified the Milwaukee junction. An engine was sent to the place and the remains brought to the Milwaukee passenger depot. They were then taken to the S. A. Crowley undertaking establishment. Coroner A. W. Slaught will hold the inquest at his office this evening at 7 o'clock. The arrangements for the funeral have not been made, but it will probably be held Wednesday. The deceased had lived in Bear Creek for many years. For the past nineteen years, he has been in the employ, of the Phillips Fuel Co., being engaged as a teamster at the time of his death. Two brothers, three daughters and two sons survive.
