FORMER RESIDENT KILLED.

KCiiarles Shaw, who works in a livery barn here, got word Tuesday evening that his father, James Shaw, had just been run over by a switch engine at Kokomo and both legs were cut off. Charley left on the night train to go to him. It was learned later that only one leg was cut off above the knee, and the foot of the other badly mashed. The 6hock was too much for Mr. Shaw to withstand, however, and he died at 3 p-. m., Thursday. The elder Shaw Hved here for a year or so, removing to Kokomo a few months ago.
