Charles H. Troy and son, Noble, were at Indianapolis Friday where they purchased a Shetland pony and rig of J. F. Johnson. The pony is three years old and is one which Mr. Johnson had picked out for a show poiiy this falL It had been broken to a M&but had never been driven much. It was hitched to a buggy however, and driven to Greenfield in three hours. Noble Troy recently lost a nice pony Ai'hich he had owned since he was a small boy, and has been on the lookout for something that suited him. He is well pleased with the purchase. Mr. Johnson, the man from whom the purchase was made, raised ponies for market on a farm near the State fairground.

The condition of the red clover continues a puzzle. The clover plant has on its leaves and stem a waxy fluid resembling molasses. The first the farmers knew of it was when they went into their fields to see if the clover was ready for harvest. It is the opinion of some men that this sticky substance is placed there by some kind of an insect and they wonder if this deposit on the stalks will injure the clover as food. When walking through his clover meadow in the morning, one's shoes become coated with the sticky stuff. Some of the farm papers give the opinion that it. comes from a small insect of the sucking variety. It has been noticed on all forms of plant life this year, seeming to be present in larger numbers than ever before. The crop of clover in this county promises to be more than an average, but the plant is slow in ripening. Very little clover hay has been cut, and some farmers who began last week quit because they thought the hay was too green. Many farmers began their clover harvest the last of the week.

COMES TO HIS DEATH ON RAILROAD TRACK

Elmer Oliver Killed While Trying to

Board a Train at Knights

town Sunday Morning.

Mvsterv surrounded the death at Knightstown early Sunday morning of Elmer Oliver, nineteen years old, son of the late Mrs. Elizabeth Wirts Oliver, of this county.

He met his death on the Big Four railroad in Knightstown. Elmer Oliver made his home with his brother, Jesse and sister, Miss Bessie, on the home place near the Ogg farm southeast of town. For about one year he had been employed, in the Maxwell-Briscoe factory ia Newcastle.

The factory closes down at noon Saturday, and in the afternoon of last week young Oliver went to Knightstown. Conflicting stories are told of the circumstances of Satur day evening in which he was concerned, and the evidence at the coroner's inquest is the safest story.

Sunday morning when the first traction car out of this city, with Sam Tapseott motorman, reached the crossing of tiie Big Four in Knightstown he saw parts of a body along the railroad track. This was about 5 o'clock. The parts of the body were scattered along the railroad from forty feet below the National road to a square north.

The main part of the body was between the rails of the Big Four tracks, forty feet north of the National road and near the west rail. One of the the legs was in the middle of the track where it crosses the sidewalk and caught under a projection of board. His hat was thirty feet or more south. The man's liver was in the center of the railroad track, a foot north of the traction line. The intestines were scattered all along. The skull was crushed, but the face was in fairly good condition and easily recognized. His watch was found near the trunk in grass and weeds at the side of the track. It had stopped at 12:30.

An excursion train for Benton Harbor left Knightstown at 12:39 and. there was no doubt but it was this train that ran over the body. A peculiarity was the fact that there was no blood along the railroad, except a few clots of blood where the liver lay. This was considered important as there is a certain amount of blood in the body, aud at once started suspicion that the young man had been murdered and his body placed on the track. Mr. Decker, of Charlottesville, was the only passenger on the traction car when the body WBS found.

The coroner, Dr. Hiatt, of New Castle, was at once notified and undertaker, Baxter, of Knightstown, took charge of the remains. He worked all day Sunday getting the pieces of the body together and in the evening shipped it to this city where it was takan in charge by H„ Eslj.elman and to the family home from where the funeral occurred Monday afternoon.

The funeral of young Oliver was held at the family home Monday afternoon and was conducted by the Rev. Frank Edwards of the Friends church. There was a large attendance as there has been a generous neighborhood interest in the orphan Oliver children. The face of the dead was viewed through the glass iu the casket. It) was very much discolored. The interment was iu the Hinchman cemetery.

Saved at Death's Door.

The door of death seemed ready to open for Murray W. Ayers, of Transit Bridge, N.'Y., when his life was wonderfully saved. "I was in a dreadful condition," he writes, "my skin was almost yellow my eyes sunken tongue coated emaciated from losiiig 40 pounds, growing weaker daily.' Virulent liver trouble pulling me down to death in spite of doctors. Then that, matchless medioine, Electric Bitters, cured me. I regained the 40 pounds lost and now am well and strong." For all stomach, liver and kidney troubles they're supreme. 50c. at M. C. Quigley's. 7

The body of Thomas Kincade, who was killed at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, was buried in the Kinnaman cemetery Sunday. The funeral was held in Bethlehem church, near the cemetery, and was by far the largest that ever took place there. The Rev. Mr. Kuhn of Richmond conducted the service. Kincade was a member of the Masonic lodge at. Indianapolis and the Masons had charge of the funeral. Thirty automobiles, carrying more than one hundred people, came from Indianapolis to attend the service. Kincade was a driver for the National Motor Car Company and it is said that the company carried $60,000 insurance on his life and that Waif of this will be paid to the mother of the young man.
