Wit the uature of the accident will probably sever be known. The facts known are as fol- lows: On Monday the victim was in Fteshertow and received $600 at the Stan- dard bar.k, payment on some property he had sold. (Te was advised to leave his tnonev in the bank but said he knew how to take care of it. On Tuesday ha was at Proton Station «nd had an alternation with some Italians, tie showed his mon- ey freely and was drinking heavily. Ue charged an Italian with taking bi« vevutver. At 7 p. m. he left for home, ttking two bottles of liquor with him, walkinz up the railway track. The dis- tance is a mile and a quarter. This was the last seen uf hin alive.

The watch chain was also foand. The body Uy near the south window with feet toward the window.
