Unknown Man
Found Unconscious

On Swan hill, between Waterville
and Oakland, at about o'clock
Friday afternoon an unknown
man was found face down in the
road by a physician from Skowhe-
gan who was on his way to Oakland.
The man was picked up and put into
the machine of the physician and
was in an unconscious condition
His face was SCARED, but the scar
seemed to be one that had been
there for some time, which after
wards proved to be the case. How
ever the gentleman was taken tc
the ONCE of DR.. Simmons of Oak

some time, but in vain. Every avail
able means Of bringing the man ~
consciousness was tried, and Il was
not learned just what the physicians
thought Of his condition. While they
were working over him, two young
ladies happened along the street
and by chance one happened to be
Q nurse from the Augusta General
hospital. She at once recognized the
gentleman as having been q patient
Of the hospital about I'VE weePe
ago. but did not recollect his name.
She stated that she knew him be-
cause of the scar on his face. She
remembered that he had said his
home was in New York City and
said that the hospital purchased a
ticket for his supposed destination.
How he happened to be walking
from Oakland to Waterville no one
can tell. but there was no name on
his person or any means Of identifi-
cation.
He was taken to the Augusta hos
pital by DR.. Simmons and a resident
Of Oakland
