FELL FROM PORCH
AND WAS KILLED
Charles Gibson Western Union Work.
man Fractures Skull In 20
Foot Plunge

Joking and chatting with friends on
the second-story porch of the Sails
bury Hotel Monday night, Charles l..
Gibson, Western Union workman,
made an effort to jump up on the
porch rail to a sitting position but fell
backwards and struck the pavement
below, fracturing his skull. He died
at the Peninsula Hospital the next
morning at o'clock without regain
ing consciousness.
Apparently in the best of sajrits,
Gibson. who appeared to be all d 80
years of age, had gone up TO the porch
after supper with a number of other
men and the accident happened about
$50 o'clock. The injured man toppled
over backwards and dashed his head
with a sickening thud against the
concrete pavement 90 feet below. BY
ISLANDERS rushed him inside to the
hotel lobby where icebags were pre-
pared to place against tn wounded
scalp and a physician called How
ever it was soon determined that a
fatal shock had been probably sus-
tanned and a passing machine was
Communicated which rush d the pat
lent to the hospital.
The dead man had come from Hur-
lock Saturday afternoon with a mum
Der of others who compose the repair
forces of the Western Union Company
which are now working in Onley. Va.
He had come from Philadelphia on
July 9th to work in this field so Mr..
Mahoney, the superintendent of the
force states.
All efforts to ascertain Gibson's
home address or that of any relative
have failed in spite of the fact that
his trunk and personal effects have
been thoroughly searched for some
clue. The fact seems established
however that he is either from Utica
or Syracuse. New York State. Wires
have been dispatched to authorities OF
both cities and the only answer of any
possible bearing on the case came
from the latter place which stated
biidt CHdiitS GlDSoH Was StUulnS
weekly sums of money to his wife and
two children there. This statement
has been discountenanced however in
view of the fact that the dead man
was supposedly single and had be n
receiving letters from his girl up
north.
Further attempts TO link up the
two stories have failed. Today a
letter was received from a party in
North Dakota address to the dead
man with return address on it.
kilograms have been sent there in an
attempt to get some word as to the
mans associations. Last night a rep
reSentative from the local Western
Union office went TO Philadelphia to
get traces of Gibson's movements in
that city previous To his coming down
on the Eastern Shore.-SaliSbury

ton involving an outlay of approx

highway systems and will in most
cases connect with and extend the
system Of Federal and highways COW
ering the entire country. In some
cases, the Department Of Agriculture

vide roads through mountain regions

Cd only by pack trails.
In addition to the major road
projects. about S5,OO0,000 will be ex-
pended by the Forest Service on
