THE INQUEST HELD TOOAV
| J. F. Wood, of Terre Haute, en- | irineor, and Ray Wilson, of Terre j Haute, fireman, on the train which hit I the automobile in which Claude Hixon land Jesse Bowen were killed at the I crossing just east of town a few days ago, were here this morning, with other members of the train crew, to give their evidence at the coroner’s inquest. Mr. Wood, who formerly attended school here, stated this morning, that he had two versions of the accident. One was that the hoys, with the side curtains up, and with the rain and wind beating on their machine, did not hear the warning whistle of the approaching train. Or perhaps, Mr. Woods says, the boys were attempting to beat the train to the crossing and underestimated the speed of their machine and the train. Mr. Wood, as engineer, occupied the cub on the right side of the engine and sn diil not see the automobile, which was running down the road almost parallel with the train. His tireman, Ray Wilson, who the engineer classes as one of the most observing and cautious firemen on the road, noticed the car, and stated that it was running with great speed toward the crossing. When he realized that the occupants of the auto were either in ignorance of the approaching train or that they were going to attempt to heat the train to the crossing, the fireman called to the engineer to throw in his emergency brake. “I know that when Wilson orders me to apply the emergency, that something is about to happen,” said Mr. Wood. “Not knowing what was about lo happen, 1 threw on the emergency hut because of the rain which hail made the tracks slick, the brakes did not take hold immediately when I applied them. Just as the brakes took a good hold, we struck something. 1 felt the jar and Mr. Wilson told me we had struck an auto.” Mr. Wood stated that the auto was not squarely on the track when the train hit it us the left side and point of the pilot of the engine struck the machine. The engineer believes that his fireman, who witnessed the approaching auto, is of the opinion that the men in the auto did not hear the approaching train and drove upon the truck directly in front of the train.

WHO SLAPPED HIM
SHOOTS THE TURK
The DePauw football team, champion of the secondary schools of the state, opened its home schedule of the season this afternoon on McKeen field with Coach Thurber’s Baptists of Franklin as the attraction. Both machines were in fine condition for the fray and ideal football weather made it sure that the struggle would be a
bitter one.
While it is known that Franklin has the best gridiron machine in recent history of the school, the Methodist warriors expected to get away from their visitors with a good score. But even though this was the case there was little overconfidence in the ranks of the Old Gold such as caused , the local aggregation to he tied by j Franklin last year. A spirited yell practice in chapel this morning put the Old Gold rooters on edge for the game. o MOORE SELLS THE DAIRY Ll'NCH TO J. H Rl MON

Will Greencastle celebrate Hallowe’en night will be the question lo be determined at a meeting of Greencastle’s citizens and business men to tie held this evening in the office of Mayor J. Walter Cooper, in the Ponner building, over the American Ex-
press office.
It has been suggested that the event be celebrated with a night of “Fun and Frolic," at which the old as well as Young America could give vent to their pent up enthusiasm. Hallowe’en night, coming on Saturday night, would be a most fitting time
for a night's celebration.
Suggestions for a grotesque parade, band coneert, masked dance on the street, and other events have been made. And the suggestions have been received with such enthusiasm that it is believed that the business men will agree lo carry out the suggestions. Mayor Walter Cooper has culled the meeting for this evening so that the plans may he discussed and committees appointed to arrange for the
Angered because Rushut Memmet, a Turkish laborer at the American Sand & Glass quarries, at Fern, west of Greencastle had slapped him in the face, about two weeks ago, when the two men had some trouble in the quarry, Memmet Mustofu, better known as “Jim Peanut,” with two companions, waylaid Memmet, as he j was returning home from a hunting j trip late Sunday afternoon, and shot I him three times. Three bullets struck the victim. One went through his left foot, ono through the fleshy part of his left leg, and one entered the calf of his right leg and lodged in the bone of the leg. None of the wounds are he lieved to he serious. The attack of “Peanut” and his companions was well planned. The three men huilded up u barricade of railroad ties, and lay behind them until the victim passed along. Then they opened fire, several shots being fired. Memmett returned the fire with his shotgun, firing three times in the direction from which the shots had been fired at him. Because of the darkness he could not see his assailants or whether any of his shots struck the assailants or not is not known. Memmet was able to reach home to I tell of the attack. Immediately Sheriff' Hues was notified and he telephoned ' to Terre Haute for the police there to [ arrest the Turks as it was known that “Peanut” had gone to that city following the tight at the quarry i i which he was slapped by Memmet Sheriff' Hoes received a telegram from that town later stating that one Turk hud been arrested there as he had alighted from a traction car. Sheriff Boes went to Terre Haute this morning and brought the man
here.
Sheriff lines learned in Terre Haute that when the westbound traction car reached Terre Haute, several Turkwere aboard. When the policemen, who had been sent from headquartci ■ to arrest the Turks, attempted to jdaee the bunch under arrest, one of

Mrs. Alice M. Haltom was granted a divorce from her husband, Thomas J. Haltom, in the Putnam Circuit Court this morning, when the defense failed to appear to fight the case.
