Body of Harley Brown Sent to Ladoga for Burial.

Ephraim T. Brown, uncle of the young man who was killed on the railroad last Saturday, came here Tuesday afternoon, having procured some money by taking up a subscription before leaving Ladoga. He did not have enough arid T. W. Grant, who had secured about S2O here, guaranteed the shortage, probably about $7.00. The money 'left in Mr. Grant’s hands will be apportioned back to the donors. Young Brown, according to hisuunole, had been a bad man, addicted to the habit of drinking and bumming and had served a term only recently in the Crawfordsville jail for drunkenness. He and his companions were probably intoxicated when he fell from the engine tender. His uncle was a poor and'decrepit man and young Brown’s record was such at his home that not many cared to contribute to the return of his body.

INCENDIARY FIRES IN THE MONON SHORS

Fires Were Started in Shops at Lafayette and Also in Salem Street Freight House.

Lafayette Journal. ' A fire bug attempted to vent his spite againts the Monon railroad this Wednesday morning and incendiary fires were started at the Monon shops and in the freight house at Salem street. The last fire was discovered at 1:25 o’clock by Glenn Dalbey, night foreman in the freight house.

Mr. Dalbey and the men working under him stopped work at midnight and went into the freight office to eat their lunch. At 1:15 Mr. Dalbey carried a bucket of coal into the small office in the freight office and did not notice anything wrong. He returned ten minutes later and found the building full of smoke. He turned in an alarm and the company from the central station which had just returned from the fire at the-Monon shops, responded. They were soon joined at the fire by the company from Wabash avenue.

The fire was hard to locate, (but was finally found under the floor, of the record room at the south end of the freight house. A pile of waste and paper had been ignited. There were two rows of boxcars in the freight house and the fire was located between these cars. In order to reach the spot where the fire started the man who ignited the waste was compelled to crawl under the floor. Before the flames were extinguished a large hole was burned in the floor between the two rows of cars.

A large quantity of freight had been unloaded before the Are started and this was damaged by smoke

Judge Hammond Expects U. S. Must Take Hand in Mexico.

Lafayette Journal. • John A. Logan post No. 3, G. A. R“ held an interesting meeting last night. The attendance was above the average and when the “good of the order” was reached, Judge E. P. Hammond delivered a short but intensely interesting address upon the present crisis in Mexico. He was emphatic in the belief that something must be done to put an end to the present reign of plunder and murder and, though he deprecated war, it was his opinion that the Mexicans would not be able to settle their difficulties alone.

MANY WILL ATTEND STATE CONVENTION

Anxious to Hear Speech of W. A. Prendergast, the Man Who Nominated Roosevelt.

Indianapolis, Ind., March 24.—Indications are that the republican state convention, to be held in this city on April 22nd and 23rd, will be one of the largest and most enthusiastic in the history of the Indiana organization. Reports are coming Into headquarters every day of active preparations for the pilgrimage to Indianapolis although the convention is still four weeks in the future. Some of the district delegates will come to the capitol in a body headed by bands. AlLake county has called on the state committee to make reservations for a delegation of 75 members. In the past it has been customary for various congressional delegations to have district headquarters, but this year some of the counties, realizing that in addition to their delegates th ey will have two or three times as many republicans who are not delegates, are making plans for county headquarters during the convention. Already the demand for convention seats has become insistent. It begins to look as if every vot jr in Indiana is anxious to have an opportunity to hear the speech before the republican state convention of W. A. Prendergast, comptroller of New York City, the man who made the speech in the Chicago progressive convention in 1912 nominating 00l Roosevelt for the presidency. Mr. Prendergast will deliver his speech at the opening session of the two days convention, at 2 p. m., Wednesday, April 22. Tickets to the convention this year will be distributed as usual,
