RECEIVES FATAL INJURIES.
Man Believed to Be Named Putnam
Dies in HOsDitaI

A souIhbound train on the Baltimore and
Potomac railroad struck and fatally in
1ured man near Waterloo station, a short
distance from the south end of the Long
bridge. early last night. He was brought
here and taken to the Emergency Hospi, al
where he died while the doctors were dress
ing his injuries. The name o. F. Putnam
was on piece of paper found in pocket
of the mans clothing. 1t is supposed this
Is his name, although nobody had identified
the body up to late hour this afternoon
The engineer saw the man on the track
and he was walking toward Alexandria
The whistle was blown a number of times,
but the pedestrian paid no attention to the
warning. Finally the engine struck him
and threw him some distance from the
track. He was picked up and taken to Wa
terloo station. Later he was brought to
Maryland avenue and 9th street on a train
and from there was taken to the Emer-
gency Hospital in an ambulance.
The police are cndeavoring to locate the
relatives of the dead man. 1t is believed he
was a Grand Army man. Coroner Carr
viewed the body at the hospital today, but
has not yet taken any action in the case
The Virginia authorities have been notf-
fed. and If an inquest IS not held there
Coroner Carr will probably give a cer.ifi-
cate of accidental death 1t is probable that
the railroad company will bury the body.
