Dead, and Unknown.

A man about As years old was
brought in from the west Sunday
morning by train 366 on the Santa Fee,
from the west. A coroners inquest
was held Monday to determine the
cause of his death. Messers Frank
Patterson. Ira Brougher, Geo. Thatcher
p. Corbin. J. G. Gould and a. 3. Miller
composed the coroners jury.
Henry Wells and CearlIe Williams,
section men at Dundee, testified that
while going ovsr the track at O'Clock
Sunday morning the Both of July, they
found the dead man lying on his right
side, about feet from the railroad
| track ] mile east of Dundee. A
guitar, bundle of shoemakers tools,
some clothing, victuals and bottle o
stomach bitters were found on the end
of the ties alongside the rail. Train 366
was tagged and the body pus onto it
and bought to Great Bend.
| Doctors Connect ane Morrison ex-
amined the remains and found a
number of bruises on the right side,
right hip, shoulder and arm, where
the engine had evidently struck him
as he had sat on the ends of the ties
It was their opinion that he was killed
| instantly by the shock.
| Deceased had nothing about him
| that would indicate his name or home.
| In his pockets was $l2.95 in cash. On
| one paper was written a song or poem .
in German, and on another paper was
what was evidently description of
himself, also in German. In it he
said he had mo wife, no children-was
alone except for his guitar-it talked
to him and kept him company"
The man was apparently travelling
cobbler. a German of fairly intelligent
appearance, but with nothing about
him that will lead to his identity. The
verdict of the jury was that he came
to his death from being struck by. an
engine on the A. T. Sc S. F. railroad.
| The remains were given decent
burial, and now lie with the unknown
dead. The guitar which talked to
him. will give out as sweet music as
of yore when touched by skilled
fingers, but the silent traveller beneath
the sod will never again hear its
music.
