Found Dead With Skull Broke.

The body of a man was found lying
alongside the G. S. q F. Ry. track at
n point at which there is small tres
tie, between the freight depot and
the J. T. crossing, last Sunday.
The dead man proved to be A. w.
Henrickson, chief engineer of the
United States lighthouse tender
Water Lily, then anchored in the
river at this place.
Justice Rowton was notified and
he empaneled u jury. The inquest
was held at 2 o'clock Sunday after
noon. Every circumstance pointed
to the fact that Henrickson met his
death by falling from the track at
the point where the body was found,
the track at that place, being from 6
to 8 feet above the ground. In the
fall Henrickson's head hit pro-
iecting tie which accounted for the
skull fracture, which caused death.
The body lay face in the water. The
mans money, watch and other val
uables were undisturbed. The ver-
dict of the jury does not recite these
things but simply says that "Hen-
rickson came to his death from a
wound in the head from an unknown
cause"
The body was embalmed by Under
taker Gerber and shipped to relatives
in Charleston.
HenricksOn was well-known In
this city by reason of frequent visits
here on the government boat. He
was about 30 years age and unmar-
ried. He had been drinking on Sat
urday night and the last seen of him
alive was about a. m. Sunday morn.
ing. How he came to wander to
this remote part of the city after
that hour is not accounted for. There
is not the remotest suspicion of foul
play.

The facts were not made public until

of the road and had won.
