Deceased was about fifty years Of age, and
had served u term in the chain-gang. lIc
wac " late often at work about trains a. q
hborer. He was last seen on Friday. Fri
day night the private watcllman OF the Al
lCghany Railroad Company found man
breaking into car which wa loaded with
bacon and standing on the side track near
Halls foundry. The thief being in imi
ncnt danger OF capture jumped into the
basin TO swim across. At thu time il was
not known whether he had made good his
escape or WAS drowned. II u no & believed
from the place where the body was found.
and from the fact that Fakner disappeared
OH the night OF the attempted robbery, that
he was tse thief.
There Is no proof OF it. but the circum.
stantial evidence points in that direction.
Deceased was buried OF the expense OF the
city. as far as known his available assets
consisted Of SLIT found in one OF his
