MAN FOUND BESIDE TRACK AND
BELIEVED TO BE ONLY IN
TOxiCATED SUCCUMes
TO HIS INJURIES.
Had Wound in Back of Head and
Bruises Over One Eye, and Was
Unconscious After Being Placed
Aboard Freight Train-Coroner of
Carbon County Holding Inquest at
Hanna and Arrests May Follow.

Sheriff c. A. Reals returned this
afternoon from Hanna, where he had
been to investigate the death of a man
supposed to have been a laborer in
n of the railroad grading camps at
Rock River, and who is believed tc
have been slugged to death, for what
reason the officers are at a loss to
know and by whom they are as yet in
the dark. The man was picked up by
the side of the track by a train crew
Friday night, who believed first that
he was dead and later that he had
only been drinking a little too freely.
They found him between Lookout and
Harper, and took him first to Rock
River and then to Hanna, where he
died Saturday without having gained
consciousness. 1t was found upon eX
animation that he had probably been
slugged, there being a wound in the
back of the head and bruises about
the left eye.
Victim Is Unidentified.
Sheriff Reals was unable to identify
the dead man. No one knew his
hdLlt. llG hdh NdllOO hlu NO Oh JAN
arm, indicating that he had been a
| sailor and perhaps a hOrseman in the
southern islands. On one arm was
the image of a full-rigged ship, with
the figure of a young woman, possibly
a Cuban, in the rigging. On the other
arm was a horseshoe intertwined with
a whip and with a horses head in the
center, n below this a wreath with
the initials &c. C. c." in the center.
There was nothing on his person to
indicate his name, and it is believed
the three letters are his initials. The
man is light complicated, rather sandy
hair, smooth face, light ~eyelashes and
features and was about "a to rs years
old. He had two prominent upper
teeth.
TWO Men Under Arrest.
Sheriff Horton of Carbon county has
in the calaboose at Hanna two men
whom he is holding for witnesses. and
another was arrested at Rock River
last night. The two men are j. Ander-
son and Walter Holman, who claim to
have been with the dead man after he
was assaulted and before he was found
beside the track. They insist that the
man told them before he lost con
seriousness that he had been assaulted
by a man whose name is withheld by
the officers. Coroner Bennett of Car
bon county is holding an inquest this
afternoon, and developments may fol
low that process of law. 1t is pos
sible an arrest will be made within tn,
next few hours.
Were Going to Green River.
The two men taken to Hanna ar,
evidently not working men, as thei
hands indicate that they are not useC
to it. They claim they are on theil
way to Green River to join a grading
gang there, but could not explain VIII!
they had left the train so far this side
of their destination. Sheriff Real:
thinks the dead man was employed BY
the grading contractor, and that he
and Anderson and Holman were
drunk. Just what produced th'
wounds ir the mans head is the one
great mystery of the case.

Concerning Husbands.

A group of Sabetha women
recently put it to a vote and
decided that the easiest man
to put up with after all is the
man with the quick temper,
relates the Herald. He flies
up, says a few bad words,
knocks a few things around,
slams the door and is over it.
One woman says her husband
grows excessively polite when
she has displeased him.
When he is ostentatious in
picking up her handkerchief,
getting her a chair and open
ing the door for her, she
knows there is trouble ahead.
A second woman said she
trembled when her husband
looked grieved. When a sad
expression appeared around
his mouth she Immediately
began to look back over the
past few hours to find out
what she had done A third
said her lord and master be-
came patient. He waited
humbly for her to finish
her harangue, acquiesced
patiently in all she said,
and put up with her caustic
remarks as with vagaries of a
little child. The concensus
of opinion was that a few
dishes is after all the
most satisfactory way out of
a family jar. The atmosphere

A prominent Central Branch official
told a News reporter the other day
that plans and specifications are now
on file in the head office of the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad at St. Louis for
the extension of the south line of the
Central Branch from Stockton to
Scott City. 1t is also claimed that a
''cut off, will be built from Kirwin
across to Stockton to obviate the ne
cessity of going around the horn,''
thus practically giving the entire
Central Branch country direct COM
munication with Pueblo and other
Colorado points.
1t is said that the survey will soon
begin and if the route is found to be
as the company expects, dirt will be
flying on the grade work ere long.
The distance from Stockton to Scott
City is only about Ito miles and the
company is getting tired of hauling
their freight intended for western
points around by Kansas City which
makes an extra haul of 500 miles that
could be avoided by the proposed
route.
The territory over which the pro-
posed route is to run is comparatively
level and would therefore require very
little grading. 1t is said that the
company has taken all of these mat
tiers into consideration and has decid-
ed to put the line through so as to
connect the Central Branch with the
Colorado division of the main line.
The official when asked whether this
was merely rumor based on the COM
pany's traditional practice of build
ing paper road to Denver, he replied
that he was in a position to know
what he was talking about and was
relating facts as they actually exist
ed. We have given our readers the
story as we heard it from an accredit-
ed source and they may judge fol
themselves about the road going

thought it could be removed without

bator and washed and clothed it, and
in day or two it died. The doctors

surprised to see such valley, and
does not see why a great quantity
OF produce is not raised here for the
southern camps. He was here to
make arrangements to secure flour,
potatoes, butter, eggs, chickens, veg
etables and all kinds of produce for
his trade in the new camp. He says
Goldyke is not receiving much boom
ing, but that she has four shipping
mines, and that she will be perma-

many of the boom camps are depop-
ulated.

its option on the Dyer claims in this
