Marion Gregg, the fifteen year old carrier of The Republican who was picked up on the Mcdowell road Sat urday morning unconscious and re- mained in a state of coma for hours afterwards was reported improved yesterday but his case is still baffling physicians. The boys mind is blank as far as the accident is concerned. While he appears perfectly normal in every other respect he cannot recall any incident after he passed the Creighton school until he arrived at his own home where he was taken by F. L. Graves He does not know whether he fell off of his bicycle or whether he was hit by a passing automobile. "l don't remember anything about the ac- cident," he said yesterday, as he sat up in a high backed chair piled high with cushions at his home on North Second street yesterday.
 The attending physicians say that he has received no internal injuries and that he will shortly be able to resume hiSTduties.

PRACTICE HIKE
 MEANS NJ VOTE
Especial to The Republican,

NACO, oct. 16,-It has developed within the last few days that there is much opposition among the Ma tional Guard to the date of the pro- posed practice hike tc Phoenix, for the reason that if the march. is made as projected the soldier boys will lose their votes, and all who have expressed themselves are anxious to have a chance to vote at the gen. eral election.
 It is assumed that votes of the members of the militia would be Lrctty equally divided between the two parties, so that if the hike is made neither party presumably would lose seriously, but the injustice of depriving them of their votes is the point on which all are insisting. A considerable number of the boys il appears have transferred their regis tration to Cochise county and thus car vote there if they remain here until the day of election.

SPECIAL to The Washington Herajd-
New York. Sept. 13-The unesrthins Of
the skeleton of a man, whose skull had
been broken with an ak, at Canarsie late
yesterday afternoon recalled q romance
and a tragedy OF four years ago when

covery started the police on a new mur-

A row Of tenement houses is 10 be
erected at Powell street and Hegemsn
avenue, and laborers who are e1csvating
uncovered the skeleton about three feet
below the surface, where had stood the
old farm house OF Joseph Neroone.
The police knew this was not Verdone's
body, because he had been killed the
night OF July Z, 1872, by Mrs. Jennie See
ley, and relatives had inferred his body
In q cemetery.
Going over their records, the police re
called that Mrs. Seeley left her husband
in 1912 to live in the house OF Joseph
VerdOne, whose truck farm was believed
to have made him wealthy.
Seeley called at the Verdone house
many times to induce his wife 20 return
20 him. and each time the police were
called to take the scorned husband away.
He disappeared about a week before MrE.
Seeley shot and killed Verdone.
