1Opinion of the CourtVan Kirk, P. J.
The award is for death benefits made in an unwitnessed accident case. The deceased was found lying, in a railroad yard, beside his horse and truck. The employer’s report states that he was “ injured in regular occupation;” that he was “ found lying on ground with head cuts horses near by.” The Industrial Board has found that the injuries he sustained “ were accidental injuries and arose out of and in the course of his employment.” Had the evidence disclosed nothing further the award would have been properly made.
