4 The mans body was embalmed and
has been kept at Trice's undertaking
establishment awaiting some one to
claim it.
| 1t will be remembered that the
man was found beneath a trestle on
the Cotton Belt railway, short
distance south of Halliday, last Fri
day morning. He was found by a
section crew of the Cotton Belt. His
skull was fractured, a hip broken
and the body was otherwise bruised.
The section crew Immediately
brought the wounded man to Para
gould where he was admitted to the
sanitarium and everything was done
to restore the unfortunate fellow to
consciousness, without avail. He
never rallied and death interviewed
Saturday morning at 1870 o'clock,
after which his body was taken to
4 Trice's undertaking establishment to
be prepared for burial
| T. F. Bryant, of Rector, was in
the city yesterday and upon hearing
of the mans accident and death
went to the undertaking establish
ment to ascertain if he could iden-
| tify the man. He said he felt conf
dent he had seen him and that he
was in Rector last year, but was
not acquainted with him He said
DR.. Parrish, of that city, had oper-
ated upon the man for tumors on
the neck and there were scars on
that portion of the dead mans body
that verified Mr.. Bryant's state
ment. Undertaken Harding imme-
| diately phoned Dr. Parrish but the
latter said he could not recall per-
| forming such an operation and
could not recall anyone by the
name of Frank Logan who had
been under his treatment. He stat
cd, however, he had performed such
operations within the past year or
so and it was entirely probable
that there were one or more in
stances he could not call to mind,
there having been numerous opera
tions of the kind referred to per-
formed following the epidemic of flu
a year or two ago.
Police Chief Woodland commune
Gated whit the names of the people
found upon papers from the mans
lclothing. None of them have replied
to his letters of inquiry. He sent
lcopies Of the Daily Press contain
ing an account of the mans condi
ton and of the facts surrounding
the finding of the mans body, but
no response has reached him. The
son of A. B. Fears, who resides
here the first of the week, visited
the undertaking establishment and
viewed the body and he stated that
he remembered the mans facial fea-
stranger who visited his fathers
home about year ago. but he didn't
know his name. He said the
stranger told his father that he
would write him and inform him
of secret formula for making wills
key, but no such information was
ever received by his father. Mr..
Fears name was written in a note
book taken from the dead man S
pocket, presumably written there at
the time the stranger visited Mr.
Fears home last year.
The general appearance of the
dead man does not indicate that
he was of rough character type
He was moderately we'll dressed and,
apparently, was about sixty years
of age.
The suit case found in d box
car in the railroad yards here and
thought TO have belonged to the
stranger has not been the source
OF throwing light upon the identity
of the dead man. No word has come
from the persons whose names were
found upon papers taken from the
luggage.
Believing they have exhausted all
efforts to locate persons who would
claim the body, the officers have de-
cided to order its interment in the
