P-, Aug. 13 Struck by Hit-Run Driver Those Are the Hours for Retail Stores Here Starting > Monday, August 7 t Wednesday night about 11:30, Mar shals Howell and English found a man lying alongside the pavement, unconscious, west of the laundry where the pavement narrows from full width to 20 feet. When he came to enough to talk he said he had been hit by a car, but what struck the of ficers as strange was that his clothing did not give evidence of having been rolled in the-dirt nor had he been dragged. They took him immediately to the Knife hospital where Dr. Richmond’s examination showed he had suffered a skull fracture and a broken shoulder, he told Mrs. Knife that his name was Wm. Christianson, that he was 26 years of age, had recently been dis charged from the navy, and that he had no living relative. He was hitch-hiking, and at the Squeeze Inn a short time before had appeared strange to Orv. Morris, but there was no odor of liquor about him. A short soft spot in his skull, just above the right ear, like a baby’s on top of its head, indicated that his head was not entirely normal. If he was struck by.a hit-and-run car, the driver got completely away. The officers had been at the spot not ten minutes before they found him. To Be Made by Mt.
