Will L. Robertson Meets Tragic Death

Will L. Robertson, world war veteran, was found in an unconscious condition on the sidewalk east side of the San Saba National Bank just at dawn Sunday morning.

A physician was summoned and first aid was administered and he was rushed to a Temple hospital.

Apparently his skull was damaged at the base of the brain and cuts on the front of the head.

Tuesday death came without consciousness ever returning.

There are two theories being advanced. One is that young Robertson had gone into the Legion Hall over the bank, had sat in the window, went to sleep and fell out of the window to the sidewalk. The other theory is that he was slugged and left to die.

The sheriff and county attorney are investigating the case, but apparently no clues have yielded and solution of the unfortunate affair.
