The body of Frank Shumaker, the boy who was killed by a Rock Island train in the west yards the evening of December 29, was sent to Stansberry, Mo., where his parents live, Thursday. His aunt, Mrs. C. W. Durand of Oklahoma City accompanied the body. Mrs. Durand says that the boy had been visiting her, en route home from Wyoming, and that on the day of his death she had furnished him with money to buy a ticket home. She does not believe that he was riding on the blind baggage at the time of the accident. The boy's father is an attorney.
