Indiana Horse Thieves, Cave.

a part of Porter county, Ind, for sew
Iial years has been infested with gang
of horse thieves. Their operations have
extended 10 the adjoining country, horses
being stolen in the night and hurried to
the hills, where concealmeut was easy and
apprehension extremely difficult. Horses
were hidden in this manner for several
months and shipped TO Chicago. A cave
has just found in which large number OF
horses were secreted. A guard was placed
at the entrance IN hopes that the thieves
would return and could be captured. but
they had evidently taken the alarm and
fed. as nobody entered the cave for two
days, while watch was kept

at Rosebud Yesterday.
A terrible accident occurred to Brake
man Tom Morton at an carly hour
yesterday morning resulting in instant
death and the msngling Of his remains
beyond auy semblance to humanity
much less of identity. As freight
train No. 81 was approaching Rosebud

passing of the west bound freight
No. 56, after which a car wac set out
and it was not until the train came to
be made up again that the absence Of
Morton was noticed. Even then 1t
occssioned no alarm in the minds Of
the train men except his brother
George who was on the train in the
capacity Of rear brakeman. He at once
felt premonition OF the sad fate that
had overtsken his brother and said
that be feared Tom" was killed. Be
fore mskIog search for him the crew
led by George went to the front part
of the train and found on the wheels
Of the forward car the CORY evidence
OF the tragedy that had been so quietly
enacted. The scar h was then taken
up and about half mile above Rose
bud station on the track the party
came acro-s sickening sight. Scat

and 49, nearly denuded Of fl ssh that no

were carefully gathered up in two
