One of Oldest Monon Conductors Stricken.

John Reed, one of the oldest as well as best known Monon passenger conductors, is at St. Elizabeth hospital, Lafayette, in a very serious condition, the result of a stroke of paralysis which he sustained last Monday. 'He had not been feeling well for several days and laid off his run that day to rest and recuperate, and was stricken while in his room. Mr. Reed had the morning passenger run between Lafayette and Michigan City and made his home in the former city.
