Body of School Teacher Shipped to Former Home.

John Bates, father of the young school teacher, Albert' Bates, who lost his life by the careless handling of a revolver by George Taylor, Sunday afternoon, arrived Monday afternoon from Metamora, near which place he resides on a farm. The body was prepared for shipment and the father left with the corpse on the 12:13 train Monday night. It will be buried at Metamora. The young man had graduated from the high school at Rockville, and had spent two summers at the Terre Haute normal. He expected to complete the normal course the coming’summer and to then take up the study of pharmacy. He was the oldest of three boys in the family. Of course, the fatherland mother and the younger brothers were shocked beyond expression at the young man’s tragic death.
