WITH SKULL FRACTURED
UNKNOWN Man IS FOUND

DALLAS. Texas, Sept. 12.-With
his skull fractured from a terrific
blow on the back of his head. a white
man whose name is thought to be
either Robert Harvey or c. E. Har-
vey, is at Falkland hospital in a
critical condition. He was found I'M
conscious in the T. & p. yards nea
the river bridge late last night and
at the emergency hospital doctors
who treated him expressed the opin-
ion that he had fallen from a train.
Lieutenant of Detectives Charles
Cunning, when the case was report
ed, made an immediate investiga-
ton. He found that the mans cloth
ing was torn and dusty as If he had
been dragged along the railroad
track. He did not think that the
man had been slugged, but the po-
lice are continuing their investiga-
ton along this line. Lieutenant
Cunning thinks the man tried to
climb on a passing freight car, lost
his balance and fell, striking his
head on a rail or a tie.
