MATHEW SHARP KILLED JN 8.8 0. Was Struck by Train Before Midnight on Last Thursday Night Mathew Sharp, age 56, who lives on the Milton Woods farm east of Syracuse, was killed sometime last Thursday night by a B. &O. train about a mile west of here, The body was discovered early Friday morning by Chas. Edged as he was starting after mushrooms. The Edged boy notified Ed McClintic who lives near the scene of the accident, and he in turn notified J. W Rothenberger who took charge of the body pending the arrival of the coroner. The exact details of the accident probably never will be known. Sharp left Syracuse Thursday afternoon with a bid of groceries in a cement sack. That evening James Laughlin met him west of Syracuse and after much argument convinced him that he was going the wrong direction to reach his home. Sharp was later seen in the western part of town and it it is probable that he was unable to straightout the directions and thought that he was going in the direction of home when he met his death. The body was laying about three feet from the west bound track and its rigidness led to the presumption that death had occurred before mid, night, Thursday. A gash in the back of the head where the skull was crushed was, obviously, the cause of death. A half pint whisky bottle was crushed in the inside coat pocket but the top of the bottle nearby showed that the seal had been unbroken and the contents intact up until the bottle was crushed in the fatal accident. Mathew Sharp leaves five sons and the widow to mourn his loss and numerous other relatives in this vicinity. The funeral was held at Zion church, Sunday, and the interment was made in Union cemetery, Rev. L. A. Eaton preached the funeral discourse. Would Like Interurban John Kline of North Webster, made us a pleasant visit one day last week. Mr. Kline is seventy vears old but remarked that he has not yet given up hope of an interurbaif connecting Syracuse and his home town. He stated that with the advantages to be derived both by Syracuse and North Webster, as well as other towns on the prorosed line, he can hardly see how anyone would be willing to let the proposition slip past. Burned by Electricity Harry O’Brien was severely burned by electricity at the cement works last Wednesday night. His eyes and right hand were the most severely injured, but are healing rapidly.

WILL MEET THE BREMEN SCHOOL Track Meet Between This and Neighboring Town On Next Saturday Syracuse and Bremen will contest for track honors on Saturday at the neighboring town. This is Syracuse’s first attempt at track athletics for a number of years, but the members of the teams are showing up in great shape, considering the amount of practice they have had, and they expect to make Bremen earn any victory they may secure. The events are as follows: High and low hurdle, 100, 220, and 440 yard dashes, one-half and mile runs, high and broad jumps, pole vault, shot put, and discus throwing. There will be at least two participants from Syracuse in each event and possibly more. The scholars have been practicing faithfully in the past month and in the mile run, especially, good time has been made. The local team will go to Bremen in automobiles, and expect to start from Syracuse about twelve o’clock. Catches Water Puppy A water puppy of one of the rarest species known, was captured by Robert Stewart, at Elkhart. The water dog was taken from the St. Joseph river and was viewed by many persons. In appearance the creature has the head of a puppy, with a body about fifteen inches in length tapering to a point. At the base of the head are gills covered with a reddish moss, while the smooth skin is similar to a bullhead or catfish. Since writing the foregoing, we have learned cf the capture of a similar reptile from Syracuse lake, Saturday, but while the above article says that these are among the rarest specimens known, fisherman around here tell us that they are quite common in these lakes.
