                         WATCHMAN PAYNE SERIOUSLY ILL

        Thinks He Fell And Injured Himself But May Have been Assaulted

Mathias Payne, about sixty-two years of age and night watchman for the Tunis 
Lumber Company for about fifteen years, is at his home in Montalant in a 
precarious condition.
He was found Saturday night about 12 o'clock in the mill yard by one of the 
employees in an unconscious state and was removed to his home, where he was 
attended by Dr. J.A. Norfleet. He has both eyes black, face lacerated and a 
bruise on his chest. Mr. Payne says that he thinks he fell and injured himself, 
while the attending physician thinks that it is probable that he was assaulted, 
although Mr. Payne is subjected to attacks and fell in a similar manner about 
eighteen months ago.

Note: Corrected name from Nathan to Mathias
