bV Special correspondent.
JAMESBURG, Sept. 8-A man still
unidentified, was run yer and killed
some time presumably early Sunday
potato train," between this place
and Tracey's Station, les English
town. A lare hole was stove in the
back of his head, otherwise no hurts
were serious enough to have caused
death. He was dead when the train
crew found him. They were unable
to tell whether he fell from the train
or was struck while walking along the
tracks.
County Physician John L. Suydam,
of Jamesburg, was called and he had
the body removed to the Lower
Jamesburg freight station and viewed
1t on Sunday morning and gave his
verdict that death was accidental
and had resulted from being struck by
a train. He gave a permit for the re-
moval of the body to the morgue OF
A. s. Cole and Company at Cranbury.
Interment was held from thore par
Tors this Monday morning, interment
being in the Cranmury cemetery.
Efforts were made all day yesterday
to get in touch with someone who
might give some light on the identity
of the man, but without avail. He
was about thirty-five years of age five
mustache. He was evidently of Ita1-
ian nationality and bore the general
appearance Of a man usually found
this time of the year who roams from
farm to farm picking potatoes. In
his pockets was a shaving outfit ane
a bottle that a recently contained
whiSkey.
