Refinery Men Say Asphyxiation May Have Caused Death.

Laborers at the Standard Oil Company's yards in Sugar Creek yesterday found the body of a man in an empty tank car. It is believed he died of asphyxiation from gas that remained in a tank. His identity could not be determined from marks on his clothing.

His body was sent to the Ott undertaking rooms in Independence. Refinery men said they thought the dead man had stolen a ride in the car, which was brought her from St. Joseph.
