A Mystery.

The west bound morning freight
on the Central road Thursday
brought up boy, who had been
about four miles below town be-
side the track in an unconscious con-
dition. He was found there by the
section boss about s o'clock in the
morning and is supposed to have
fallen from one of the night trains
while stealing a ride. He received
medical attention at once, but his
wounds are of such a nature that it
is difficult to form an opinion as to
the extent Of injury. His recovery
is however very doubtful. He was
evidently struck on the head, but
the skull is not fractured externally.
If there is an internal fracture, his
recovery is impossible. He remained
speechless all day, but seemed at
times to be at least partially con
scious. The boy is not known in
town, and there was no clue to his
identity. He is being kindly cared
for by German lady. He appears
to be about u years old, is heavy
set, full-faced, has light hair, and
wore a dilapidated black SLOUGH hat,
with the brand of Charles Theis,
Austin Texas, on the inside. He
has scratch across the side of his
face. He had on heavy dark suit,
very old and worn. There was NO
paper or sign of any kind, to show
who he was or where he belonged.

the key in the door below as usual,
Garrett slipped down from his
perch unobseryed, went down,
locked the door, and made good his
escape. A short time ago he was
