Young Man Injured by lnterurban Car
Is Not One About Whom In.
quIries Are Being
Made.
WORD FROM QUINCY MAN
Gives Description Of Relative Thought
to Be Same Person, But De-
scription Does Not
Answer.

F. B. Williams, of 1901 North Fifth
street, Quincy H., has written to tne
chief OF police here asking for informa.
ton concerning the young fellow
struck by the interurban car last week
near Cedar Glen. Mr.. williams learn
ed of the accident at the time the
young fellows name was not known
and thinking he was relatives sent
a description to the police asking that
1T be compared with the description of
the inquired man now at st. Josepa's
hospital
The description does not compare in
the least according to the information
given by an attending physician to a
Gate Ciyt reporter today The des-
cription in the letter is of man with
the big toe off one foot, having red
hair, blue eyes, a scar on his throat,
tattoo on both arms and the initial C.
w. on one of his forearms.
The young fellow at the hospital
gave his name as Clifford Baughman
and his age as twenty years. His
motner is Mrs. Jennie Watkins of
Arbela, Mo-. and that was his home.
He has rather dark curly hair and his
arms are not tatooed.
The police have taken the discrip-
ton and will make a comparison as
the description given by the doctor
was from memory at his office.
The physician stated thjs morn;po
that possible part of the young fellows
heel would slough off although every
effort is being made to make the heel
grow back on.
Baughman has almost recovered
from the other minor injuries received
in the accident, but will be unable to
move about until his heel improves.
The Quincy man learned OF the ac
cident through the article which APP
peared in the Gate City and copied by
a Quincy paper.

tended illness Of two months duration
The death of the young man comes as
a great shock to the community and
although it was known that he could
not survive long. those who were with
him continually until the time of his
death were not aware that the end
was so near. All during his Illness he
was Of cheerful disposition, bearing
his sufferings with Christian fortitude
and always hopeful during his long
Illness.
Death came at 1:20 this afternoon
and was due to dropsy from which the
young man he'd for over year been
a patient sufferer. He was taken Il.
a year ago last January and from
that time his health had been falling
though several times he had rallied
from the dread disease and attending
physicians held out hopes for full
recovery.
At Easter time he had recovered
greatly from his illness and shortly at
ter was able to be out again on the
streets. For several months he was
able to be out and friends were pleas.
I'd to note his change for the better.
Two months ago however he was
a7ain taken i'll and his condition be-
came worse. During the past two
weeks he had been confined to his
bed and was unable to be out. Dur
Ing this time he was yet honeful how
ever and with the cheerful disnosition
which always characterized him was
a'wavs hopeful in speaking to those
about him.
