Dennis Gleason’s Bad News.

Dennis Gleason and son, the horeebuyers of Liberty Ind., arrived here Wednesday evening to buy a load of horses. This Thursday, morning Mr. Gleason received a telegram from another son informing him that his nephew Thomas Mullen, who was working fcr Mr. Gleason, was injured internally Wednesday afternoon, by his team running away, and died at 9 o’clock that night. The unfortunate young man was about 27 years old, unmarried and the chief support of a widowed mother. He was hauling gravel for Mr. Gleason, who is at a loss to understand how the accident oould have ocoured as the team was a very gentle one. Mr. Gleason and his son left last night Liberty, as soon as the latter returned from the country he having gone out before the telegram was received.
