Alltop drove Spide WilliamÕs cotton freight wagon from Anson into the Stamford cotton yard, and immediately on getting off the wagon, he was taken with an epileptic fit. The Marshall was called, and in the absence of the city physician, Dr. Sledge, he called Dr. McReynolds. Then Mr. Flournoy had the man moved to the city hall, as it was the only place open to him. Drs. Sledge and Shell came about this time, and everything possible, was done, but he died about 7 oÕclock. Nothing at all is known of the manÕs history prior to his coming to Anson a few weeks ago. He was about 50 years of age, and seems to have been a sailor from the tattooing on his arm. He was buried in the Stamford cemetery at the countyÕs expense.
