and was struck full in the face by the en-
CINE. From papers found upon him it was
learned that he was about forty-five years
old and had lived in New York.
Detective Carter has the case in hand,
and Is endeavoring to find some friends of
the dead man. A great many letters were
found on the body. but no money.
