Arm of a man found beneath railway coach
A severed right arm, mangled and skinless, was found on a brakebeam of a train at Benson station. Investigations tie the limb to A. H. Johnson, foreman for a Mongolian grading project, killed after leaving Mongolia on the same day. Parts of his body were recovered near Lordsburg and Mongolia, with burial preparations underway in Lordsburg. A telegraphist brother and local authorities are involved, and a separate note announces a church food sale.
