Seen Near Aurora.
Il appeared today that the men may have "hooked" a ride on the train from Springfield as they werd" seen near Aurora by s stockman who was traveling on the train with a carload of sheep he was taking south of Monett. He said they ap- peared to be worried about their position on the train and got off et the Monett Imits.
Next they were seen entering the pipe car by Fred Williams, Frisco switchman, who testified at the in- quest that he had ordered them out of the car. However, he mald be did not stay to see whether or not they obeyed his command. +
The train was switching in the varda preparatory to leaving on its southwestern Journey when the art idon' happened

According to Coroner Callaway. both of the men were neat appear- , Ing. well shaven and wearing fair- ' ly good clothes. The younger Was clothed in a blue shirt, dark gray trousers, oxfords and dark sox. He had dark hair and dark eyes. The "this was wearing a dark shirt and overalls. apparently purchased in Springfichi.
A fruitless clue trailed down by officers this morning was that one of the men was Howard Harding .. believed to have been employed by the Whitehead Transfer company of ' this city At first the clue appeared | to be a pixel lead on the Identity of 1
the one and perhaps both since it | was found that Harding had quit work here last Friday, saying he would leave shortly for Arkansas to be with his wife. .
