BODY DRAGGED FOR HOURS AFTER DEATH. Skull Crushed and Arm and Leg Broken When Body Is Found. That Mrs. Minnie E. Speed had been dragged about for a number of hours following her death, and mutillated in a shocking manner was the news contained in a formal report made by a dozen of the woman's neighbors living near Elgin, who formed the searching party that discovered her body, Sunday evening at 10 o'clock, still trailing behind the wandering horse and cart. According to the report, Mrs. Speed left her home about 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon to go and find a missing milch cow. She got the mail at a neighbor's, T. H. Pegram's, and after that nothing more was heard from her until the searching party found her body. The theory of the neighbors is that she fell from the cart while getting in and was caught between the shaft and the body of the cart. When found her body was cold, showing that she had been dead for some time. Her neck was broken, as well as an arm and limb, and in addition her skull was horribly crushed. Evidently the horse had continued to drag her about. She is survived by a husband, who is a rancher living in that vicinity. She was about 50 years of age. No inquest will be held by Coroner Comstock as the report submitted to him covers all the details of the case.
