Former Francesville Man Found Dead.

A few days ago the body of Ed Hollett, a former railroad man ot Bloomington, 111., was found near Hoopeston. Hp was identified by papers in his pockets. The dead man is supposed to be Ed Hollett, formerly of Francesville, and a son of the, late L. N. Hollett, by his first wife. George Hollett, who is now located as a telegraph operator at Cayuga, went to Hoopeston but could not identify the man as his half brother, probably owing to the fact that be had not seen him for twenty-five years. Ed Hollett was formerly a passenger conductor on the C. & E. 1., and the Chicago & Alton. The Tribune has no| been able to ascertain information as to whether or not his relatives here were positive as to the identification.—Francesville Tribune.
