CARRY, HARRY
(3 Aug 1911, Erick Altruist, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
Stranger Killed.  By Train 41 last Wednesday at Texola.
Wednesday morning of last week the dead body of a boy apparently about 17
years old was found near the railway track in the east part of Texola. 
Judging from appearance he had been run over by the west bound passenger
train that passes through Texola at 2:33.  The supposition is that he was
stealing a ride either on the coal tender or underneath a coach and fell
while the train was running.
On his person was found about four dollars in money, a bill for some
purchases made at Oklahoma City July 17, an express receipt dated July 25
showing that John Rhine had expressed a grip from Oklahoma City to John
Rhine, Pueblo, Colorado.  Efforts to establish the boy's identity were
made but without success.  Upon investigating the grip which had arrived
at Pueblo, the officers found papers that indicated that the grip belonged
to one Harry Carry but no address was given.  Up to three o'clock Friday
afternoon nothing definite concerning who the boy's relatives are had been
learned and interment was made at Texola.
