va lie.
An unknown man was found on the end
of a coke car. his arms tightly clasped
around the break rod. When he was re-
moved from the car it was found that his
head had been crushed in
The man was still alive, but was un-
able to speak.
His plight was first discovered by a
member of the train crew, and a young
man who had been beating his way was
discovered almost simultaneously, sitting
by the track.
.rhe trainmen called the latter to the
scene and the young man then admitted
that it was his partner. but afterwards
said that he had been mistaken, as his
friend wore white hat.
A physician was hastily summoned ana
while the unfortunate mans wounds were
being examined the young man mystic
rously disappeared, no one seeing which
way he went and no trace of him has
since been found
It was first thought that the victim
was a German peddler named Margrave
However, the man proved not to pc Mar
grave, as he is at his home in this city
The man died in a few hours after he
had been found on the car. He was COM
fortably dressed and did not have the
appearance of tramp. His pockets had
been rifed and his watch was gone. but
the chain still remained hanging to his
vest.
The only thing of value found on the
man was a bag Of rings. which was fast
ened to a small chain, and had been
stuffed down under his trousers. There
were fourteen rings of various designs
and values. On one ring was fastened
a piece of paper on which was written:
This ring is for Ida"
Several tattoo marks were ,on his arms,
one a picture of a woman. The dead man
was about fifty years years of age, anu
was evidently a foreigner.
A few yards from the scene was found
a, piece of iron piping about four feet in
length, which was besmeared with fresh
blood.
The engineer of the train crew stated
that he saw the young man who mystic
riously disappeared, with an iron pipe
