MANGLED BODY OF WM. SUTTON CARRIED ON LIMITED CAR PILOT 600 FEET IN FATAL

ACCIDENT SATURDAY

1

EVENING, EAST OF GREENFIELD

GIRL CRAWLEO FROM BUGGY

And Escaped Instant Death When Horse Scared and Plunged in Front of Interurban Car, Upsetting Buggy on Track—

Coroner EarlGibbs Here Sunday and Monday Holding Inquest

William Button, age 24 years, was terribly mangled and instantly killed, his horse killed and buggy demolished Saturday night at 9:30 o'clock, just east of the strawboard factory corner by the west-bound T. H. I. & E. limited car, due here at 9:37, in charge of motorman Jesse Epperson and conductor Roy Middleton, both of this city.

Miss Frankie Crider, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Crider, east of town, who was with Mr. Sutton, escaped death by crawling out through the buggy top just a moment before the car struck the rig. Her escape was almost miraculous as the buggy was upset, and the liorse plunging at the time.

Yocnig Sutton, whose home is near Morristown, but who has been working for Alfred Wilhelm of Brandywine township, and Miss Crider, had been in Greenfield and were going home. They left here about 9:15. Mr. Sutton was driving a 2-year-old colt, it is said, which was not thoroughly broken. When in front of the home of Charles Warren, just west of the Pierson green house, the colt became badly frightened, and plunged towards the interurban track, upsetting the buggy. Miss Crider made her escape by breaking her way through the buggy top, and the horse made another lunge onto the track in front 4)f the rapidly approaching car.

Mr. Sutton was trying to back the horse off of the track, it is said, when the car crashed into the rig. The mangled body of the young man and the buggy top were carzied on the pilot of the car almost 600 feet before the car was stopped. The horse was thrown about fifty feet and instantly killed, and the huggy was broken into kindling, and the pieces of harness scattered along the right-of-way.

When the car stopped the crew found the body of the man on the pilot of the car. and he was dead, the left leg and left arm being broken, the left side of his head and face were crushed, and his right leg and arm were bruised and lacerated.

The body was placed on the car and brought to this city, and taken to the undertaking establishment of Hiram Eshelman, where it was viewed by many people and the identification made.

The young man's father, William Sutton, of near Morristown, was at once notified and he was brought here in an automobile. County Coroner Dr. Earl Gibbs, of Wilkinson, was also notified and came Sunday morning at 10 o'clock to conduct an investigation, leaving at 2 o'clock to return Monday afternoon to complete the inquest.

The body of Mr. Sutton was prepared and taken to the home Sunday afternoon, and the funeral occurred Monday afternoon at the Mt. Lebanon church.

The deceased is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Sutton, who live on the Samuel Olinger farm two brothers, Harley, at home, and Frank, of Greensburg, and one sister, Mrs. Annie Pope.

"Cleansing of the Church." Quite a number of the faithful were in attendance at the Christian church Monday night,v despite the downpour of rain. Most of the faithful choir members were in their places, led by Miss Williams, the regular chorus leader. The pastor, Rev. M. S. Decker, spoke on the theme, "Cleansing the Church," and referred to the Scripture, in Mark 11:17, "Is it not written, my house shall be called of all nations, the house of prayer? But ye have made it a den of thieves."

The speaker referred to the meekness of Jesus when he made his triumphal entr$ into Jerusalem, seated upon an ass colt, the hypocrisy of the people who cried, "Hallelujah" and of His exceeding tearful sorrow, well knowing of their changeableness and that the same voices would soon cry "Crucify Him!" Then he spoke of Him in the temple, denouncing the money changers and driving, them forth with a plaited cord, upsetting their tables, using the language of the text, for they had contaminated His Father's house. "For Jesus," the speaker said, "I have studied this lesson, and it is one of the most impressive have received. The calm but righteous indignation of the Son of God, resenting the vulgar use of the temple by a rabble of money-lenders, desecrating sacred things for dollars. When a church or any sect misrepresents God, it is time to put it out of business. God does not need us nearly as much as we need God. Some have a wrong conception of the truth. The sooner that you and I learn that the church is not principally a financial institution, the better it will be for all. "The church is built in the hearts and lives of men and women, and if it does not remind them of God and make Him known to them, there is something wrong with the church. There is a cleansing needed in the church of today. Men of ungodly lives are in the church in Greenfield, misrepresenting Christ— and it needs cleansing. "I tonight emphatically deny the right of anyone to throw men out of the church. There is no scripture for it. The man who wrilfully abuses the blessed privilege of the church throws himself out. The best way to save your own soul is to take a yoke-fellowr, and to get to heaven, take another pilgrim along and when all get busy for Christ, the problem of church rubbish is solved: it has become absorbed. When the church exalts Christ and not sectarianism, then will its fruits be sweeter and more abundant."

At the close of the sermon, Prof. Ellis sang impressively E. O. Excell's beautiful song, "O, Make Me Pure," and "Long as I Journey Here Below, be Thou My Guide Where E'er I Go."

A Ulutual Wish.

A typical tramp, giving the name of Geo. W. Hiatt, and claiming that he is from Springfield, Ohio, became wobbly here Monday evening, and when he was taken before the mayor, a third of the 75 cents he had was used to buy a ticket for his trip out of town. Upon leaving he told the mayor that he hoped he would never see him again, and the mayor said the wish was mutual, that he would be pleased if the tramp never returned.

Geo. H. Cooper and Nathan C. Binford started Monday night for Miami, Florida. They will be gone a week or ten days, and will probably spend Easter in Cuba. Mrs. Binford and son, Donald, and also Warren Cooper, will return home with them. Mr. and Mrs. I. W« Cotton, who have been in Florida since last fall, will return to Greenfield about May 1st.

Into Deeper Trouble.

The colored men who got into a scrap a few evening ago in the south part of the city aire not out of trouble yet, it seems. Cash Merida, who was sent to jail, was released under a $312 boYid, and he then swore out a peace warrant against Ed Davis, who had him arrested for assault and battery. Mr. Davis was arrested and required to give a peace bond.

COMMISSIONERS SET DATE FOR LOCAL OPTION ELECTION, AND NAME ELECTION

BOARD MEMBERS

Monday afternoon the County Commissioners set Saturday, May 2d, as the date for holding the local option election which was granted earlier in the day on petition of 378 voters of the city, or about 150 more than the 20 per cent of the number of votes cast for mayor at the last city election.

The Board also named the election commissioners and election boards as follows:

Election Commissioners Benton L. Barrett and Edwin Custer. Inspectors First Ward, M. C. Quigley. Second Ward, Thomas I. Morgan. Third Ward, H. D'. Barrett.

Judges First Ward, Frank O. Fort, and Frank Brandenburg. Second Ward, E. A. Henby and Reuben Weaver. Third Ward. Henry W. Stringer and J. W. Riffe.

Clerks—First Ward, James Cleary and Merritt Wood. Second Ward, Herbert Bruner and Beamer Davis. Third Ward, O. N. DuGan and Chas. Gant.

The voting will be in the regular ward voting places. A greater part of the morning was taken up in discussing and deciding the question of whether the Board of Commissioners had a legal right to grant a renewal of saloon licenses, while a petition for a local option election was pending. There were four applicants for a renewal, John E. Dailey, Jacob Loy, Robert Fair and Thomas Trainer. Judge R. L. Mason, for the petitioners for a local option election, asked the Board to act on the petition for an election first, as a part of the routine business. T. E. Glascock and John F. Eagan, for the applicants for renewals of saloon licenses, asked that these applications be acted on first.

There was considerable argument on the questions of whether the Board could act at all on the applications while a petition for an election was pending, and whether they could grant renewals of licenses after an election had been called.

Following this argument, County Attorney Samuel J. Offutt interpreted the law and rendered an opinion that an application for a new license to sell liquor could not be acted upon by the Board either before or after an election was called if there was a petition for such election on file at the time such action was to be taken. He further ruled, however, that the law made a distinction between a new license and a renewal of an old license, and held in his opinion that the Board could legally grant the renewals, either before or after they acted on the petition for an election. The question of which should be acted upon first then came up, and the Board decided to act upon the applications for renewal of the licenses of the four named above, and took up that matter. There was a large crowd in attendance at the Board meeting, of both the petitioners and others, and much interest wras taken in the results of the contest on the above points which, had they been decided differently, would have meant the closing of four saloons now and until after the election, at least, and permanently if the city voted out the saloons. These licenses expired April 1st, and the saloons could not be operated longer without a renewal.

While the continued rains are very good for the pastures, they are delaying other work considerably. Some of the farmers who were expecting to put out big crops of oats, are now thinking of putting a part of the ground in corn if the rains continue.

Frank McAlister, of the Indiana Paper Company 0. D. Haskett, of the Haskett Lumber Company, and Herbert S. McNeely, of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, were members of the Indianapolis Boosters who made pleasant calls at this office while in Greenfield Tuesday.

Miss Hazel Loehr, of Indianapolis, Charles E. Henricks has the conspent Saturday and Sunday in this track for the carpenter work on city with her parents, Mr. and JM[P8i the new Reporter Jjuilding on East John Loehr. Main, street.

Greensburg "Dry" Again. The last of the saloons in Decatur 'county were closed Saturday night at 11 o'clock at Greensburg, and that city will be "dry" two years at least. The city voted out all saloons at an election held a few weeks ago.

The twins and their ages are as follows: Dewey and Deweese Marshal, age 16 Arnold and Donald Birt, age 12 Nellie and Stella Irvine, age 11 Omar and Homer H. Moore, age 7. and Worth and Juanita Brown, age 7.

J. I\. P. Martindale, who recently moved his family out to his farm northeast of this city, says he is enjoying farm life as much as he did before he lived in town. He rented his fields out, and has hogs, sheep, chickens and a cow to look after, and also has a part of his house on North East street furnished, so he can stay here over Saturday night and Sunday when he wishes.

A telegram has been received from Philander Collyer, who accompanied his wife to Rochester, Minn., stated that she was operated on at the hospital there at 10 a. m. Monday, and the operation was successful. Dr. Young, of Cumberland, accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Collyer to Rochester.

To Change Name of Postoffice.
