PELLISTIER was found lying about two feet from the South Shore track by ALBERT PAULSON at about 1 o'clock on Sunday afternoon. PAULSON called his employer, C. E. DELANE, who operates a fur farm and he immediately notified the sheriff's office. Deputy FRANCIS KOTILA and W. E. POPPE went to the scene and had the body taken to Nestoria by the L'Anse pusher engine. PELLISTIER was in a sub-conscious condition on his arrival at Nestoria and when asked if hit by a train, replied "no." This was the only state- ment the officials were able to secure from him before he passed away. Dr. F. F. MARSHALL and Coroner H. M. HANSEN were called and examined the body, which re- vealed that PELLISTIER died from a fractured skull but as to whether he was hit by a train or hit on the head by some instrument has not been learned. A coroner's jury consisting of GEORGE PAQUETTE, WILLIS MAHAN, GUY SELDEN, ARTHUR JOHNSON, and AARON STORM viewed the body on Tuesday evening when witnesses were brought before them to testify. PELLISTIER left his home in Superior last Friday, intending to go to the Scott & Howe Lumber company camp. However, reports from the camp state that he never applied there for employment. The body was shipped to his home in Superior for burial on Tuesday. ========================================================================== If you've reached this file through a SEARCH, you can access more of our growing collection of FREE online information by going to the following URL: http://www.us-data.org/ ==========================================================================
