WAS SPANISH A
VICTIM OF TRAMPS
Found Lying Near Extinct Camp Fire
At lamy, Horribly Burned
Body Sent to Old Home.

Tetanus or lockiaw, is attributed as
the immediate cause of the death of
Linwood c. Spanish, the young man
who was found terribly burned and
in an unconscious condition at Lamy,
and who succumbed to his injuries
at ST. Vincent's Hospital in this city
The remains We're shipped by express
this morning for burial at the old
home of the deceased in Greenwood,
Delaware.
Mr.. Spanish when found was lying
in proximity to the coal chute at
Lamy He was frightfuly burned
about the eyes and mouth and both
of his legs were also badly burned
How he came to be injured will prob
ably never be known but the supposi
tion is that he was beating his way
on freight train and was thrown off
by tramps after being assaulted and
robbed He probably fell into the
embers of a camp fire and thus sus.
tanned the severe burns. This theory
is borne out by the fact that he was
lying close to cinders of an extinct
fire when found.
This was on the morning of October
10. The young man was brought to
this city on the first train and placed
in St. Vincent's Hospital. 1t was
thought at the time that he could
survive only few hours but he ap-
peared to be recovering when lockjaw
developed and resulted in his death
Wednesday.
His identity was revealed by blank
book which was found in his coat
pocket bearing the name of L. c.

certifying that he was a member of
