ANOTHER VICTIM.

Saturday morning the crew of a
westbound freight discovered the body
of man lying by the side of the
track about a mile this side of Ruli-
son. The train went on to Grand Val
ley where the word was given to the
crew of No. 4. AS the passenger train
came up it stopped, and on discovering
the man to be a corpse, came on up and
wired the news to the county coroner
at Glenwood. Instructions were then
sent to Deputy Coroner j. L. Cochran,
who secured an express wagon and
went to the scene of the dead. The
body was brought to Rifle and held for
inquest, which took place Sunday morn
ing. The verdict of the coroner's jury
was that the man came to his death
by having his neck broken, the cause
unknown.
The man has been identified by sew
eral people of Rifle as being a man
well under the influence of liquor who
was seen on the streets Friday. 1t is
generally supposed that he attempted to
beat his way on train and fell, thus
breaking his neck and causing his death.
Nothing has been found on the man
that would give the slightest informa-
tion as to where he came from or what
his name was. The body is still being
held in the hope that the officers will
find some one who will identify the un-
fortunate man.-Rifls Rsvsills.
