WHEELS OF DEATH. An Unknown Young Han Killed by a 13 Freight Train Near Greencastle Junction. A fatal accidt t oceured Wednesday evening about 6:30 o'clock just South of Greeneastle Junction, While freight train No. 73 was coming South it passed the Junction at a high rate of speed. A young man whose name is not known was stealing a ride between the cars when a sudden jolt caused him to lose his hold and he fell beneath the wheels. He was literally cut to pieces, and it was with difficulty that the train men gathered up the scattered remains, which were strewn along the track for almost a half mile. From a paper found in a part of his coat it is thought that he was from Pennsylvania, though there was nothing found by which he could be indentifiod. The train men were unaware of the fact tha he was onthe train, though he was seen by some people who were standing on the Junction platform when the train passed. The remains were buried at . Greeneastle, after the coroner held an inquest, finding the acts to be as above. Attend Wicks' Bee Hive May Sale. L ' ' Pine apples Fifteen cents oday at Jesse Howes'. Rev. F. A.

In an argument before ihe court yesterday morning, Judge Fields, senior counsel for the Monon rail-, way, paid our city a. high compliment. He said that the upbuild of this vicinity was unparalleled in the State of Indiana, except, probably, the gas belt,: but he had great doubts that even there this growing community could, be excelled. Such compliments are frequent, but when-coming from such distinguished persons we more r importance. It has not been long since Congressman Cooper said this was the best town in the Fifth Congressional District. Our own citizens do not fully appreciate these facts until they take a trip away from home, and return. The growth is a steady and healthy one it is not a false bubble, soon to be exploded. The development of our vast stone resources has just begun. Do not let us lose our heads over our prosperity, but let us carefully foster and cherish it, and build it up in a steady, solid and permanent way.
