Frank Russell Killed by the Cars.


Frank Russell, we'll known 10 our
towns. people, and a brother Of Charles
Russell, of this place, accompanied
the excursion to the Franklin reunion
on Wednesday last. He did not re.
turn on the regular excursion train
which left there in the night. Thurs.
day morning the body Of an unknown
man was found lying beside the Nyp.
anc track near Sugar Creek station.
The body was brought to Franklin
where an inquest was held, and the
discovery made that the unfortunate
man was Frank Russell. The facts
ELECTED at the inquest were to the ef.
feet that Russell had boarded the
wrong train and did not discover his
mistake until he had reached the sta.
tion above indicated, where he got of
and was walking back toward Frank.
lin. The appearances indicated that
he had lain down beside the track
with his head SO near g passing train
that the cow.catcher struck him on the
back of the head killing him instantly.
No other bruises were found on bis
body.
~aere is another theory as to the
manner in which Frank was killed.
1t is believed, while walking down the
track, he was overtaken by q freight
train, and having stepped off the track
to allow it to pass, was struck by q
projecting lumber binder that had be-
come loosened and swung out. The
fact that the only bruise about the
body was on the back of the head, and
that not very severe. gives plausibility
to this theory which may be the correct
one. Still another idea with some is
that he may have met with foul play,
there being no money found on his
person, whereas he is known TO have
exhibited considerable of it during the
DAY.
His brother here was telegraphed
aud went on. The body was prepared
for burial, and on Friday was inferred
in the cemetery at Franklin.
Frank, familiarly called "Fode,"
was heavy built mau, aged about SO
years. He had established and built up
nice trade in the barber line at It'd.
ioute, where he had a wife, and daugh.
a ter, aged about years. He was a
genial, pleasant hammered man, and
made friends rapidly by his quiet dis
position and gentlemanly treatment Of
customers and strangers.

in the Presbyterian Church, Tiouesta,

object of their union grows more pop

sciously swelling to great proportions,
and the work being pushed forward
with an apparent certainty Of early
and complete victory. The sacrifices
our sisters have made in their efforts
to develop higher humanity are al.
ready bearing fruit, and we point with
pleasure to the systematic education of
our youth, the curtailment of the sale
Of tobacco and drugged cigarettes to
the young, and the perfection Of man
and womanhood by living a pure life.
With these pleasant "reminiscences be.

to the coming convention as q time
when something new, something in.

the reins in the hope of getting the
horse stopped until near the foot Of

As Mr.. Palmer is President of the Colum.
bian Exposition he speaks as one having
authority, and Colonel Elliott f. Shepard
may hang his Sunday observance harp OH
the willows and weep.
Senator Palmer sat in his cosy log cabin,
jovial, contented and happy, and talked OF
Colonel Shepards effusive deliverances
about closing the fair on Sunday.
II think there will be no question about
that" said the President of the exposition.
IF know the mind of the directors it is 10
open the doors of the great show on Sundays
Possibly 1t will he decided to close them half
the day, during the morning, and keep them
open from IL o'clock. The machinery will
not be running, as it is best to have one day
of rest for the exhibitors. But the show will
all be there and the people can see it on
that day as well as on any day of the week.

making that decision, for otherwise the
