was unable to attract the attention of the
trainmen, and after suffering for food and
water for days he lost consciousness. Ac-
cording to the mans story be had

that his condition fully bears out

brothers condition and at once had the sick
man removed TO his homo. where every-
thing possible was done for his comfort.
