MAN KILLED AT SHELBY; HOW DID IT HAPPEN ?

WlHlain Downer, of Tluijer, Found With Crushed Skull In Barn Belonging to Saloon Keeper. William Downer, of Thayer, was found dead Sunday morning in the barn belonging to James Doty, the Shelby saloonkeeper. It is said that Doty and others say Downer had gone, to the barn to stay all night and had fallen out of the hay now, crushing his skull and dying before any one discovered him. There also seems to be some indication of foul play. It is said that the skull is crushed in a manner to indicate that he had been struck with a club. It is said that he has been living in Lake county and signed the remonstrance against the saloons. The coroner of Lake county is investigating the death.

RENSSELAER POSTOFFICE NOW SECOND CLASS.

Postmaster Murray Notified that Receipts for Last Year Justify Boost In Rating and Salary. The Rensselaer postoffice receipts for the past year were enough to cause the department at Washington to direct that the office be raised from the third class to the second class, which means that the postmaster has a fixed salary, and that the salary is fixed for his deputy and clerk. The salary of the postmester will be $2,000, that of the deputy from S7OO to SBOO and that of the clerk SSOO. The postmaster will hereafter lose the money order fees which he secured in the past, but the boost is - very acceptable. The year showed business aggregating to more than $8,400. In order to have free delivery of mail in the city the receipts would have to exceed SIO,OOO and this point ought to be reached in a few years. !

WRECK NEAR LOWELL KILLED FREIGHT BRAKEMAN.

North Bound Passenger No. 4 Crashed Into No. 72*8 Caboose With Disastrous Consequences. George Gallagher, whose home was in Logansport, -was instantly killed at the Dewitt milk station, two miles south of Lowell, Sunday morning, when Monon passenger train No. 4, which passed through Rensselaer at 4:49 crashed into the caboose of freight train No. 72. Gallagher was the rear brakeman on the freight‘train and it'is claimed was responsible for the negligence that cost him his life. It is stated by other members of the freight crew that he had been sent back to flag down No. 4 when the engine of No. 72 was helping another freight over a steep grade. Gallagher instead went to the caboose and fell asleep, allege the other trainmen. The passenger train was running at a speed of fifty-five miles an hour when the big engine crashed through the caboose, and four cars loaded with stone and brick. It was foggy at the time of the collision and the engineer did not see the rear lights of the caboose until nearly on it. After the collision Engineer Cliff Somerville and Fireman Joe Conn found themselves standing under the boiler nf the engine. Engineer Boiif: merville was slightly injured, but the fireman was not hurt. The engine drawing the freight train had stalled on a hill and the train was being doubled over the grade.

The big locomotive pulling the passenger train turned over on its side. The bagg&ge, express, mail and day coaches were also turned partly over. The five sleepers remained on the rails. Brakman Gallagher’s home was in Logansport. He had been in the employ of the Monon six months. The milk train went to Chicago via Shelby, Schneider and the Indiana Harbor to St. John. Other trains, including the excursion to Chicago, did not pass through Rensselaer, but were detoured around. The 1:58 was able to get through but a little late. The Rensselaer section gang and other section gangs along the line between Monon and Lowell, were gathered at the scene of the wreck and are there again today.

Fought Catarrh for 20 Years.

Here is a letter that we sincerely ask every reader of the Republican to read. If you suffer from catarrh or any nose, throat or lung ailment, read it over twice, and then consider If you can afford to ignore a prescription with the healing virtue of Hyomei (pronounce it Hy-o-me): Booth’s Hyomei Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Gentlemen—“l suffered terribly with catarrh In the head for twenty years, and I tried many prescriptions, but never found relief. I have used Hyomei for two weeks and find it the bqst preparation I have ever used ‘for catarrh. Every cold I would catch seemed to go to my throat, and I had to use gargles for days at a time. Now when I catch a cold In the throat I use the Hyomei Inhaler and this soreness disappears over night. Hyomei has put me on the good road to getting rid of my catarrh, and If you want to use this letter to publish in your advertising, do so. Perhaps it will help some other sufferer."—W. K.

DAN DAY RELEASED FROM THE STATE REFORMATORY.

Murderer of Daisy Phillips, Sent up For 2 to 21 Years, Paroled—Serves Only Minimum Sentence. Dan Day, the deformed and irresponsible boy-man who murdered Daisy Phillips, daughter of Frank Phillips, on the night of April 6th, 1908, and who was found guilty of manslaughter at the May term of the circuit court, and sentenced to the reformatory for a period of from 2 to 21 years, was released on parole last Saturday, and arrived in Rensselaer on the 3:13 train that day. The parole board acted on the plan which they and Governor Marshall accept as legally right, that a prisoner should be let out at the expiration of his minimum sentence provided his behavior has been good. The return of Dan to hiß old home was a great surprise and most people doubt the advisability of having him released. He is an object of great pity. Deformed in his arms, legs, spine neck and mentally weak, he is unable to be of any good to himself and will prove a care to others. Dan has the pity of all who know him, but that does not mean that they approve his freedom, and it would have been better could he have been kept in confinement for a longer time. Dan lived with his mother and grew up without any effort to give him an education. He lived a care free life in the companionship of a dog, a shotgun, a‘ revolver and a bowie knife. On the night of the murder he called at the Phillips home, became partially intoxicated and as he left he murdered Daisy without cause. He will be a menace to the community. It is understood that he will live with his father, Hiram ~Day, who is a well known and highly esteemed business man. Possibly if kept away from his old haunts and habits he may be all right, but his release seems very inopportune.

LOWELL AND SHELBY “DRY” BY REMONSTRANCE ROUTE.

Eagle Creek Township, Lake County, Temperance People File Success* ful Remonstrance. Lowell and Shelby and Eagle Creek township, Lake County, have by a majority said to be 27, remonstrated against the license of saloons and will be “dry” as fast as the prevailing licenses expire. There are about six saloons at Lowell, two at Shelby and one at Water Valley. The Shelby saloons are run by Jim Doty and H. Peterson and the Water Valley saloon by George Struble. Doty’s saloon is said to expire today, Monday, while Peterson’s will run for about a month. Niel Brown, an influential farmer and ranchman, is said to have been the chief pusher of the remonstrance in the neighborhood of Lowell. The saloon -men knew that the remonstrance was being circulated but they felt secure in their belief that there was a big majority in favor of the saloons. They were greatly surprised when they found that the remonstrance contained enough signatures to make it good, and they were further surprised to find that a number of people presumed to be friendly to the saloons had signed it. It is said that the better people of Shelby became disgusted at the constant string of

thirst crazed people that kept coming there, largly the trash of the surrounding dry territory. The saloons were dirty, almost filthy, there was a number of old hangers-on that scarcely ever left the saloon and there was .considerable lawlessness. As Shelby was a cross-roads town and there was no other loafing place there but the saloons many men put in their time there between trains and imbibed freely of the booze served by Doty and Peterson. Others went there purposely to get liquor and Shelby had built up a bad name that Mr. Brown and others thought it should not have. The remonstrance will remain in effect for two years. The surprise was as great at Lowell as it was at Shelby.
