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.
