unknown young man was struck by a
train I'm the freight yard just above the
Valley Falls station receiving fatal In
juries. II is thought that the young
man was walking along the track when
struck by the Worcester train The
train was stopped and the man was taken
| To Pawtucket and hurried TO the Twin
| city hospital where he died this
morning a $685. in spite of the fact that
| every effort was made for his recovery
one arm was cut off al the shoulder,
| and the skull was fractured. There were
| numerous other bruises about the body.
From papers found in the mans pock-
cts. 1t was thought that mis- name might
| be Parkinson. and a family Of that name
were communicated with in Johnson
| street, Pawtucket. but he did not live
| there. The Central Falls police were no.

recognize the victim.
