Police Bafled by Case of Man
Dead of Injuries.

Edgar Yeager. IS. of 1880 Tenth
street northwest, died last night at
the Casualty Hospital under circum-
stances which indicate TO the police
that he met his death by foul play.
Yeager was picked up on New York
avenue northwest, between Ninth and
Tenth streets, yesterday evening. sut
fering from a fractured skull.
He was rushed to the Casualty Hos
pital, but failed to regain conscious
ness, and died in less than an hour
and a half after he arrived. The
police know very little about the man
or the manner in which he received
his injury. There is, however. a
slight clue that Yeager and an un-
identified man got into a fight short
ly before he was injured His injury
is such that tee police do not believe
he was the victim OF an accident
such as a fall, or being struck by an
automobile.
