Man Found Along Road Near Gallitzin

  James Fitzgerald, aged 50, of Troy, N. Y., is in a rather serious 
condition at the Altoona Hospital, as the result of injuries received 
when he was trespassing on the PRR near Gallitzin.  He was either 
struck by a train or else fell off one.  A trackwalker found him
lying unconscious beside the rails and had him taken to Gallitzin.  The 
accident happened on Sunday morning at 5:30 and the injured man was 
taken to Altoona.
  He has severe contusions of the back and head and is not able to give 
an account of himself.  His name and address have been learned from him 
but that is about all he can tell. Mr. Fitzgerald died yesterday.

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa., Friday, August 23, 1912
