SHELBYVILLE. Ind, JAM 9.-On the
9th of June last, Edward Kuhn, a prosper
Gus young farmer. residing east of this city,
died suddenly and under peculiar circum-
stances. An investigation was asked by his
father. and on post norton examina ton
there was found large quantities of strych-
MIA in the stomach. This caused great ex-
element in the neighborhood, and many
rumors of more or less damaging character
were circulated. The father of the dead
man determined to have the matter sifted
A grand jury investigation resulted in in
dictmehts being found against Mrs. Mag
gle Kuhn, the widow of the dead man,
Mrs. Elvira Midkiff. the mother of Mrs.
Kuhn, and her two brothers, Alvin and
John. They were arrested this morning
and arraigned before Judge Buckingham,
and the offense is not bailable they
were placed in jail. Mrs. Midlziff is quite
an old lady. the widow of John Midkiff,
well known and respected. 1t is difficult to
find any motive the four would have for
the crime. Both families are prominent
and wealthy, and it will be bitterly con-
tested case About two years ago it was
thought that attempt was made to
poison Kuhn with arsenic placed in his
coffee, but he detected the bitter taste,
and SO discovered it before much had been
taken.

Charles Cunningham, of the Muncie pulp
works, early this morning was horribly
mutilated in a monster pair of cog wheels
He attempted to cross over the top of a
big vat and had to step over cylinder near
a pair of three-foot cog wheels. He lost
his footing and fell upon the cogs. His left
foot was caught and pulled between the
cogs until the flesh and bones were crushed
to the knee. At about this time the right
foot was caught and the two limbs so bad
ly clogged up the wheels that belt broke
and the grinding of human flesh and bones
ceased. The man was held fast for nearly
ten minutes before the workmen could get
the wheels pried apart Had not the bait
broken the man would SOON have been
ground through and his mutilated body
dropped into the vat of boiling pulp. Had
this occurred the flesh and clothes would
have been cooked into paper pulp and could
never have been recovered. The man eX-
hibited wonderful nerve while being re-
leased from the awful position, and he di-
rected the men how to work. Before he
permitted them to commence the work of
releasing him he directed them to shut off
the valves he was attempting to close be-
