STRANGER KILLED By

True As Preaching

Englishman, 45 Years Old, Struck By Interurban Car at Gem and Killed Instantly Name and Home of Unfortunate Man tlnknown

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," that's true. The dollar saved and in your pocket is worth two earned. More truth. -'But here's some more that's true as preaching:

The dollar safely deposited in the bank is worth two jingling in your pocket. Why? Because it is safe. You are not so liable to spend or lose it. Also, it is an incentive toward further accumulation. It is safe from the hold-up man, can't find a hole in your pocket, is where every earned dollar ought to be, subject to your check.

A stranger, 45 years old, and known only as "Tommy," was instantly kitleil Tuesday morning at Gem, west of this city, when he was struck by the 10:15 limited T. H. I. & E. car, east bound.

The stranger was traveling with a companion, Albert Collins, of Princeton, New Jersey, who is an umbrella mender. They had gone to Cumberland Monday evening and remained there over riight and had started east again Tuesday morning and traveled on foot to Gem. There they sat down, one on either side on the track, on the rails, to await a local car, intending to ride to this city. The umbrella mender sat on the north rail and the other man on the south rail.

When they saw the car corning, the umbrella mender told his. com-: panion he had better get out of the way. He picked up his coat .from the side of the track and then seemed to become confused, arid turning, started to cross the track to the north side, in front of the car. He was not quick enough, however, and the car struck him in the head, at the base of the brain, probably killing him instantly. He was put onto the car and brought to the undertaking establishment of Morrison & McDaniel, his traveling companion also.coming.

Albert Collins, the accident victim's traveling companion for thes past four months, said he dill not know the man's name, as he always went by the name of "Tommy." He said it was a point of honor with their traveling fraternity never to ask any personal questions of each other. He said the man had told him he came from England, and' had spoken of his father and sisters, but never told where they lived or why he was on the road. He said the stranger was a steamboat engineer and was a mechanic, and had told him he was 45 years old, but had told him nothing of his personal history, and that he had asked no questions. He said the man was slightly deaf and had probably misunderstood him when he told him to get out of the car's way, as the car whistle blew and the gong was sounded.

An examination of the dead man's clothing provided very little toward his identification. Among the articles found in his pockets was a bill of sale from the A. R. Brooks Company, of Bloomington, dated 8-15-1912, for 4,000 needles to E. Wilson, for $1.20, and the bill 'was marked paid.

Other articles foundin the pockets were a knife, razor, coriib, a spoon, mirror, tobacco, cigarette papers, three pieces of soap, a handkerchief and 41 cents in small change also several unbroken packages of needles, which leads to the conclusion that he was the E. Wilson to whom the Bloomington firm had sold the needles. A tattoo mark on his left arm is Very plain, the letters being "E. B.,'' and it is a question as to whether. Wilson is really his name not. ...

BIG BARN BURNED WITH ALL CONTENTS

Henry Eickman is Heavy Loser By Lightning Two Horses Are Burned to Death and Another One Injured.

Henry Eickman, who lives on his farm three miles west of New Palestine, is a heavy loser from lightning, which struck his barn on Saturday evening, the fire consuming the barn and its contents. Two horses were burned to death and another was burned so badly that it will probably die.

Mr. Eickman was at New Palestine attending a meeting of the Horse Thief Detective Association when his barn was struck and consumed. The striking of the barn by the lightning bolt was witnessed by many people, as a passenger interurban car had been stopped just opposite tlife barn because of a hot box, and the passengers were compelled to wait until another car arrived. frogn Indianapolis.
