Inquest Over Man Well Known in Hammond Held Up at Monon; E. Hughes Case Excites Interest Among Trainmen. Was Larl Hughe.-, the Morion brakeman who was found mangled lust Sunday night after he had left Hammond, murdered or was his death accidental? This is a question that it i figured will be answered by the inquest that is going on 'it Morion. Karl Hughes was rear brakeman on local freight train No. 45, which runs between snuth Hammond and Monon. On Thursday night, the night on which he is supposed to have met his death. Dan Hartnelt of Lafayette, a switchman, boarded the train at Shelby, which is about half ay between South Hcmmond and Monon. Hartnett. it iy said, showed his switchman's card to Conductor Fred Ball of Monon. who wa:i in charge of the train and he permitted Hartnelt to ride in the caboose. "Snakes" anil "Stingers.' Hartnelt i a member cf the switchmen's union. Hughes was a member of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and Conductor Ball is a member of the Order of Railway Conduct or.". For years there has been feeling between the switchmen, who are known in ratlwav slang as "snakes," and trainmen, who are called "stingers," Ball, being a conductor and in. niber of neither, is supposed to be neutral. Hughes, the brakeman. is faii to have protested to Conductor Bill at different times during tho trip : ut w!trtnett, a "snake," being eai r e,.j i)-,r train. Train 45 is a b.cul :- .tt f-' t, Ht every station to do switching and oll.cr work. At Pb-asant Ridge the train went into n side trailt to permit the milk train to pass. The engine was cut off from the rest of the train and with the two head Irakemcn went t- McCoysburg to do some switching, while Conductor Ball. Brakeman Hughes and Hartnelt remained in the caboose. What Qnir Shows. The investigation shows that for sum-; reason Conductor Ball loft the caboose and went along the train. Jlnrtnett rliima he was asleep nt that time and that Brakeman Hughes woke him up. told Mm bis train had reached Monon nnd to get off. Hartnett got off and Hughes locked the caboose door. Hughes and Hartnett walked along the side of the train and met Ball. Ball, the Investigation shows, told Hughe to go back to the caboose and stay there. After that the three men returned to the caboose and it i said an argument started. Later the engine came back from McCoysburg, courled onto the train and while it was moving towards Moncn a fight occurred. Chairs and lanterns figured In the fray and what afterward took place will no doubt develop later. The train reached Monon and Conductro Ball registered in about 7:3a o'clock, but made no report of ary trouble whatever or of Bmkeman Hughes' disappearing. Conductor Ball told Xight Yardmaster Luther Lutes that he wanted to lay off the next day (Fridavl and Lutes replied that he would let Hughes

Night Yardmaster Lutes and Hughes' father left Monon on a motor ear and found Brakeman Hughes' mangled body, lying face downward in the center cf the tracks, one mile and a half south of Fleatant Ridge. Thi? was about 7:15 a. m. The brakeman's head and face were badly cut and mangled, ona leg was broken and his c.othes were practically torn from bis body.

Tired, Nervous Women What Yon Need is Vino! The reason we recommend Vino! so strongly for such conditions is because it is a non-secret remedy which contains Beef and Cod Liver Peptones, Iron and Manganese Peptonates and Glycerophosphates, the very elements needed to build up a run-down system and replace weakness with strength. HERE IS PROOF

Glasgow Jet., Ky. I was suffering, from a nervous breakdown loss of rlesh and poor appetite so I could hardly drag around and do the work for tny family. My doctor prescribed Vinol. It not only made me well and strong but I have gained in weight" Mrs. S. M. Gray.

For all run-down, nerrens, uiMmla cxdltlon, weak wonti, overworked men, feeble old people ad delteete children, there ia no remedy like Vinol.
