Aged Man Died Late Tuesday
Captain Daniels, of Manor, Ga., found Friday morning by the Atlantic Coast Line tracks near Naylor, died late yesterday afternoon at the Polyclinic without having regained consciousness.

With his death the exact cause of the injuries he sustained went to the grave, and perhaps will never be known. The back of the man's head was crushed in and when picked up by the crew of the detoured Dixie Flyer Friday morning he had suffered from loss of blood and exposure, evidently having lain for several hours by the track in the raw weather of the early morning hours. The man was brought to Valdosta immediately and given every possible medical attention in an effort to save his life. He was seventy-five years of age and well known in the Ware county section where he resided.

The remains were prepared for burial and sent to his home on the Atlantic Coast Line train early Tuesday morning.
