The following item is going the rounds

| been given space by Indianapolis dailies:
'At Burney. on the Big Four railroad,
| man named Kennedy died some days
| ago. On the night Of the wake a crowd
| of drunken hoodlums went to the house
| where the dead man lay, and raised
! racket by firing revolvers in the room
| over the corpse, until the watchers de-
| serted their vigil and fed. leaving the
| drunken demons in possession. They
| next dragged the corpse from the coffin
| and stood Ii up In one corner of the
| room and spit tobacco juice on il. They
| wound up by tying placards to the
| CHASTITY limbs upon which were written
! vile and indecent epithets." The New
| Era has taken pains to make investiga-
| ton of the matter and is able on the
| authority of the best citizens of Burney
| to declare the whole story a base canard,
a fake pure and simple.-Greensbur
