BRAKEMAN

Of Midland Valley Dies at
Martha Robb Hospital

J.G. McMath, a Midland Valley brakeman, died at the Martha Robb hospital Monday night of cerebral hemorrhage, after an illness of a few days.

Having no relatives or friends in the city, the body was taken to Street's morgue and embalmed, and is held there until some word is received from relatives or friends. Papers on his body show that he was employed on the Kansas City Southern railway from April 21, 1901, until November 1, 1905, and left the company of the road on his own accord.

The dead man is about 45 or 50 years old and a card shows that he belonged to a trainmen's organization at Mena, Ark., and is in good standing. Papers also give an address in Kansas City, 907 Forest aveune, and the names of several people supposed to be relatives were found. The Street Co. is making an effort to get in communication with some of his relatives or friends and are sending telegrams and special delivery letters.

The dead man went to Dr. Heitzman Friday and was then delerious and was never able to tel anything of himself, losing consciousness directly after going to the hospital.
