The upper part of the body was satu- rated with blood, and the frightened Hungarian ran to the station and notified the night employes. T.B Shaffer, the company's detective, was notified and the remains were taken to the baggage room and later to J. W. Grumme's undertak- ing establishment. The body is that of a man appar- ently fifty years old, and it is pre~ sumed that he fell from a freight car. There is a hole in the forehead immediately above the right eye and the upper part of the face is somewhat bruised and scratched, but the remainder of the body does not show any injur es whate/cr. It is thought that the man was in: jured some time before he was found and that he bled to death. It is believed that he was injured in the early part of the evening. The deceased was five feet, nine inches in height, wore a cropped sandy moustache, dark brown hair, and was evidently a laborer, The body weighs about 150 pounds and was dressed in corduroy pants, black coat with white, small stripe, and over the coat was a blue blouse, with a blue handkerchief tied about the neck. In the pockets of the tooth brush, teaspoon, a dollar bill, and a white horn handled knife With two blades. On the handle of the knife the letters “H. F. R" had been cut, and they may lead to the man’s identification. It was at first thought that the man may have been attached to the street carnival which has been exhibiting on the Desmond street grounds for the past week. Em- ployes of the show, however, viewed the body this forenoon but say that they do not know him, While there is no suspicion of unlawful violence the cause of death is not casily determined. Two physicians examined the re- mains this morning. One of them declared that the man may have been attacked by heart disease and falling forward was bruised about the face in the maaner above de scribed. Another doctor, however, says the man might have fallen from a freight car and sustained a fracture at the base of the skull, The probabilities are, however, that the manner in which he met his death will never be known. Undertaker Drake, who took charge of the remains, says that he has never before removed a dead body from the railroad tracks that was less bruised. There were no marks or bruises on the body whatever below the face. The clean condition of the body and clothing would indicate that the man was not a tramp, Justice Carey was called as act ing coroner and will conduct an investigation. Today Chief Walsh telegraphed to surrounding towns but up to the hour of going to press the body has not been identified, DUTLER'S LUNCH ROON Mr. and Mrs, S.
