Printer Pitts’ Body Was Buried at Salem Wednesday.

The Francesville Tribune .has the following to say about Tourist Printer Pitts, who was found dead last Sunday in the Monon hotel: “Very little Was - known about his relatives although he had .told some that he was bom at Seymour, this state, 43 years ago and had relatives at Salem. His uncle chanced to see th« item of his death in the Indianapolis News. He came .to Monon Tuesday afternoon, .took charge of the body and shipped it to Salem for burial. He said Pitts’ mother was living in Salem and that he had a brother w.ho is employed as a train dispatcher for one of the Soiithern Baciftc terminals. They had been trying to locate him for four years.. He came' from a good family, but the habit which he formed many years ago estranged him from them and also impaired his efficiency as a printer, though he held several good jobs. Pitts was quite well known here and at Monon, where he worked at different times. Regardless of his habits, he was an intelligent and well behaved fellow who had many friends.” Our sauer kraut is now ripe. Try a big quart for sc. JOHN EGER.
