TRAIN RUNS OVER NEGRO LAO'S SLATER NOW INSANE

Leonard Rogers, a Tramp, -~> Years 'lliomns Hearin, Brother of William

Old, of Ctattanooga, Tenn., Falls From Dig Four Freight at Delmar Friday, And Limb is so Badly Crushed that Amputation is Necessary.

Roscoe Henvin, Who Killed Lad at Delmar Several Years Ago and Who Was Sent to the Penitentiary, Receives Letter From Governor liaidy.

THREE CARS PASS OVER LEG

The breaking in two of an east hound Big Four freight train at Delmar at 2 o’clock Friday night resulted in Leonard Rogers, colored, about 25 years old, a tramp from Chattanooga, Tenn.. falling between the cars and being run over. Three empty box cars passed over the man’s left leg between the ankle and the knee. The victim was taken to Fillmore and the limb amputated. The negro’s brother was with him when the accident occurred. The two men were bumming their way east and were riding between the freight cars. When the train pulled in two, one of the men fell off. His brother, as soon as the train had stopped, got off and notified members of the train crew of the accident. Dr. C. A. O'Brien of Fillmore was called and taking the injured man in his buggy took him to Fillmore. There it was found that the man’s lag was so badly crushed that it would have to be amputated. Rogers will be taken to an Indianapolis hospital.

PRISONER IN CLOSE CONFINMENT

In reply to a letter to the Governor asking that his brother, William Roscoe Heavin, who now is confined j in the Northern penitentiary be sent to an epeleptlc hospital. Thomas Heavin of Marion Township has received a letter from the Governor stating that William Roscoe Heavin { is now- hopelessly insane, and is confined in the insane ward of the penitentiary. Heavin, it will be remembered, killed a boy near Delmar, a few years ago. Heavin had had some money stolen. He started to look for the thief and went to Delmar. He carried a shot gun. Just as he reached Delmar a freight train pulled In. He walked up to a door of an open car in which three boys were stealing a ride. Sticking the gun barrel in the door he ordered them to surrender. One of the boys jumped out of the car door and started to run. Heavins shot and the boy fell dead. Heav1ns was tried and sentenced to the penitentiary. Insanity was his defense. It was proven then that he suffered epilepsy.

The appellate court, Wednesday, again ruled on the petition of the Putnam County Commissioners for a permanent injunction against the destruction of Putnam county bridges by a dredging company in contract with the circuit court of Morgan county. The case this time was in the form of an appeal for a rehearing of the former case. In giving his decision Judge Roby took decidedly different grounds from his former ruling. He now holds that the dredging company has no right to destroy the property of Putnam County, but holds that instead of securing an injunction in a Putnam court to prevent such destruction the remedy lay in going to the Morgan 1 county courts. This decision directly in opposition to the views of three of the best known circuit judges in i Indiana is the more remarkable in that it contravenes one; of the decisions of the supreme court of the state. It is for this reason that the 1 case must go *o the supreme court, as the appellate court can not deI cide in opposition to the supreme I court. It appears from this ruling, however, that in case the supreme court should uphold the decision of the appellate court, that the county still has redress in the Morgan courts. So it is fair to say that the Putnam bridges will not be destroyed to suit the whim of the dredge companies. It is also needless to say that there are no politics in the case, as one of the county's attorneys is a Republican of standing, and he as well as the County Attorney and the Prosecuting Attorney are of the opinion that the case was brought in the proper court. Many of the points in the ruling against the county are new, which Ls another reason why it must go to the supreme court.

IN THE CLERK'S OFfiCE Howard \V. Lame and Rosanna Disney of Itnnclidalo are ’.Married by O. II. Smith Thursday. That a newspaper man -is always willing and able to offer advice on any subject is well known. That some newspaper men are capable of giving aid in time of need, no matter what the occasion, is now demonstrated. Thurs. morning Howard Lame and Miss Rosanna Disney of Roachdale appeared in the Clerk’s office, and having secured a license to wed, asked the clerk to procure some one at once to perform the ceremony. Squire Frank was not at hand, and obliging Deputy Clerk Hamilton was about to telephone for a clergyman, when O. H. Smith appeared upon the scene. A lawyer standing by volunteered the information that Mr. Smith was a clergyman and suggested that he perform the ceremony. Mr. Smith objected that he had not done so for some time and was, therefore, out of practice, but was finally persuaded by the couple to undertake the ceremony. Mr. Smith must have been an adept in his time for the ceremony was quickly and excellently performed, and the young couple sent on their way rejoicing.
