uleAFell From a Santa Fe EastboundTrain.HIS NECK WAS BROKENi•8H5:atIIIa j Conductor Garlic Who wbi in Charge of the Train Say* He Cannot Understand How it Occurred.Conductor Garlic who was in charge of the eastbound Santa Fe passenger train which killed the man named Steven Odell, says he is at a loss to understand how the man fell'from the cars as the train was vestibuled throughout and unless the man fell out of a window the accident is unaccountable. A receipt from Dr. fG J. W. McCarver of this city for payment of a bill was found on the body of the dead man, as was also a burial certificate on a Dallas organization for $100. The man was found beside th^ track three miles east of Killeen with his neck broken and his skull crushed. Efforts to identify the stranger at this place have so far proved futile. Some rumors have been circulated to the effect that'it was a negro who cooked at 811 Vine street, but the city directory shows that the only Odell in town is a negro at 811 Vincent street and it is said that he is in town now.Conductor Garlic says that he thinks the dead man was a Scotch Irishman about 51 years old and was a carpenter by trade. Dr. McCarver says he remembers to have attended the family of a Mr. Odell who lived in a rent house on Cottage street in September. 1904.thtulapcheNlt;nr . i. _ ji
