STARVED TO DEATH
IN LOCKED BOXCAR

BUFFALO, Nov. 5.-A gruesome
find was made by railroad men
when boxcar loaded with cotton
shipped from Pine Bluffs, Ark, was
opened here. Lying near the door
of the car was the body of a man
about 40 years old, and all about
were evidences of a desperate fight
for life by the victim.
That the man had starved to
death was plain, and plinters on
the floor and bloody prints on the
door jam showed how he, facing
a terrible fate. had tried to tear
away an opening and summon help.
With no implements to work with,
he had slowly met death due to
lack of food and water.
