outgrowth of long practice, and for years he
met with the greatest success. Notes have
been duplicated anywhere from one to ten

set he made. He seemed to have allowed
exceedingly liberal discount, and stated his

A Man Murdered in His Buggy

relative, driving to that place in a buggy.
He left Urbana about o'clock, and when

About o'clock William Wilson, a farmer.
living three miles north of Springfield, had his
attention attracted by a horse and buggy, be-
cause he thought the robe was dragging in
the mud. He called out but received no re-
ply. and going nearer was horror stricken to
find that the supposed robe was frightfully
mangled man, whom he recognized as Egger-
son.
Over the front axle between the shaft and
the right wheel, rested the right arm and
shoulder. Beneath the axle, face downward,
was the head. His body dragged along the
ground, the feet rubbing against one of the
hind wheels The body was wedged in so
tightly between the shaft and the wheel that
it was with difficulty extricated. The spokes
Of the front wheel, against which the body
rested, were entirely cleaned of paint.
His limbs were frightfully bruised from
striking the ground and two large gashes
were cut in his back. The presence of these
two wounds cannot be accounted for and
indicate foul play. He had no money of
any amount on his person and could hardly
have been the victim of persons desiring
mere plunder. Evidences were to the effect
that some enemy, with whom he had trouble,
is responsible for his death.
