Chicago Man Killed By Cars at Earl Park Tuesday.

Clyde A. Briegel, of the firm of Briegel & Son, signmakers of Chicago, was found dead Tuesday morning by the side of the Big Four railroad tracks a mile west of Earl Park. The legs and arms had been ground off the body and the trunk and head was all that was found. He had been in Fort Wayne Monday and had mailed a letter home from there and it was received by the young man’s mother only a short tame before a message came announcing has death. The young man traveled for the firm of which he was a member and there seems no accounting for his death. His father was inclined to believe that it was not he who was killed but a note book that was found in the pocket of the dead man and which bore his name had (been stolen from him along with other things some time before and that it was the thief who had been killed and not his son. The father went to Earl Park today to make investigation to ascertain if it was really his son.
