MAY BE WATERLOO LAD.
Boy Killed at Dunlap Believed to Be
Albert hidhherner.

Waterloo. Sept. 11.-Albert High
berger, son of Richard Highberger, re-
siding at 1929 Commercial street, is
believed to be the name of the lad who
was killed at Dunlap one week ago to-
day on the railroad tracks at that
place. Inquiry at the home today
elected the information that the de-
scription of the dead boy tailed very
closely with the appearance of Albert
when he left home some two weeks
ago. Further information was awaited
today, but it was the intention of the
father to leave tonight for Dunlap to
make sure of the identification. In the
description Of the body sent out 1t was
reported that the hair was reddish
and there is a slight Discrepancy in
this respect. Also the dead boy wore
a coat that did not fit the description
of the Waterloo boy.
