Unidentified Body
Found on Desert
Under RR Bridqe

Imperial Valleys fifteenth
heat victim this summer was
found late Tuesday under a
railroad bridge on the desert
six miles west of Ogilby.
The bory of an unidentified Mex
ican man was discovered under the
bridge by Jess Castro, member of
a Southern Pacific section gang,
Deputy Sheriff Frank Rancy said.
The Mexican had been dead about
a week or 10 days.
No letters, papers, or cards were
found on or near the body and
there we're no scars or marks to
assist in making an Identification
The man wore Mexican made shoes
and carried a new pair of Mexican
shoes. Near him were found Mexi-
can cigarettes and Mexican matches
Raney said. Raney said he believed
the man must have crossed the
Mexican border at some place other
than port of entry and had at
tempted to make his way north by
travelling the uninhabited areas.
The Mexican had no water with
him and there is no water in the
vicinity where the body was dis
covered. He must have crawled
under the bridge to hide, Raney
said. as the bridge afforded little
or no protection from the sun. The
officer saw the footprints the man
made when he went under the
bridge. The absence of footprints
leading out again indicated that
the man was unable to leave the
place in search of water.
The body was taken to Yuma.
