About three weeks ago one Brown, a
farmer of Dick johnson township, Clay
county, Indiana, was killed and put OF 2
railroad track at Coal Bluff His remains
were horribly n1angled. It was supposed
at first that Brown was drunk and lay
down on the track. He was known TO
have money when at Peterson's saloon at
Coal Bluff, and none wigs found in his
clothes. Yesterday the sheriff arrested
Sterling Briggs, coal miner Of Coal
Bluff. The evidence against him is said
to be strong. Frank Gum, said to be
implicated in the murder, ran away.

and set the ball in motion to snatch vic

of every township in the state, and
when I got them saw at once We were
beaten unless we could reduce the ma
jority in New York and Kings counties.
There was no time 10 cover the state.
We had less than three weeks to work
in. It was impossible to do anything
but turn every light in upper New York
and Kings counties. We succeeded.
We cut the Democratic vote down in
these two counties 10000, and by that
means got the Stately 2l,O0O majority.
