The body of an unknown white man was
discovered early this morning in the yard
of the Southern railroad In this city, bear
ing marks about the chest which showed
conclusively that the man had come to his
death but a short time previous to the dis
covery by being struck by one of the shift
ing cars in the yard. His anterior chest
wall was crushed in and his body was
otherwise bruised. He was found on the
side of the rails, and 1t is supposed that
he had crawled to that position after be-
ing mortally injured. The remains were
removed to the undertaking rooms of w.
