b,ooded murders ever committed in Indi-
ana.

served three men chasing a man from the
woods down the track. where he was over
haulsd and a fight followed, in which the
man was killed. He was stabbed several
times and finally shot in the head the
bullet passing through the brain. The
murdered man was about thirty years Of
age, weighing about one hundred and
ninety pounds, black hair and black mus
tache. His clothes were good and his gen
eral appearance would indicate that he
had been decoyed 10 his death rather than
that he had been engaged In a fight vol
unfairly. The only articles found on the
body were two clean handkerchiefs and a
pocket knife. No papers of identification
were found. Last evening two men were
arrested at South Bend on the charge
Of stealing a suit of clothes and being
drunk, and on arriving at the station
house their clothes and hands were found
TO be covered with blood. one gave his
name as Godfrey and the other the name
Of Slimm, and both acknowledged being
here yesterday. but claim TO have been
drunk. They We're brought 10 TINS city

reported here that the brakeman of a

COOPER Ar DANvILLE.
Closes a Very Successful Canvass
Fairbanks Fails To Appear.


DANvILLE. Oct. IA. - Special. - The
Hon. George W. Cooper completed the
canvass Of this county last evening by
delivering one of his characteristic ad-
dresses to a large audience in the court
room.
He made during the week eleven
speeches in this county, beginning in
Brown township and closing here. He
has canvassed the county many times,
but this was the most satisfactory can
vass in every particular. The crowds
were large. There was not a meeting
but that standing room was at pre-
MUM. Not only was the attendance the
largest that has ever greeted a congress
siOnal candidate in this county, but the
attention given the speaker was perfect.
His canvass demonstrates clearly that 1t
was not necessary TO have Jesse over
street along TO draw a crowd. But time
may prove that IL OVerstreet desires a
crowd he had better send for Cooper.
George has always been a fdvorite
here and rhe vote this year viii show
that the opinion 4 the good people Of
Hendricks county has not changed in the
least and that Cooper stock is above par
many points.
The republicans have been advertising.

Of Millionaire G. w. Fairbanks to
speak in the court room here
last Saturday afternoon, but for
some reason o'clock came and
no Fairbanks and not one to represent
him. Why ne did not come your corre-
spondent is not informed. but It is whIs
pered 10y knowing ones that the managers
took an inventory Of the crowd and wired
him 20 miss the train, for Il would not
do for the republican candidate 20 have
a smaller crowd at the county seat and
at a county meeting than Cooper had al
his township meeting.
