In Memory of James Logan.


Truly a good man has gone to his
reward-always true and good and
generous to a fault. The writer grew
up in his acquaintance and always
~reverenced him as a father. AL
though plain and unpretending, his
life was simply beautiful. Words are
feeble to express just what should be
said of SO good a man. Would that
the youth of this land had such an
example. "Blessed r the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth," can
be said of him in his long life and
beautiful old age. He loved the
right because it was right; he loved
the truth because it was true; he
loved the beautiful because God made
it so. He had been a member of the
Presbyterian Church for many years
and about two years ago he identified
himself with that church in Mexico.
sBlessed are the dead who die in the
Lord; they rest from their labor and
their works do follow them"
Thy pleasant smile will be seen
On earth no more;
The honest hand clasp has passed
To the golden shore.
| Like the beautiful sunset,
At the close of a glorious day,
So is the close of this beautiful life
That has just passed away.
A FRIEND.

NO CLEW YET
AS to Exactly How the Man and Boy,
Found Dead Near the C. & A.
Track, Were Killed.

Just how the man and boy, who
were found dead near the Chicago &
Alton track a mile and a half west of
Mexico Saturday morning, were killed
will in all probability never be known.
Whether they were asleep on the
track or standing there and watching
a train on the Wabash, or whether
they were murdered and put on the
track will doubtless remain 4 secret
forever.
The Coroner's jury, composed of six
of Mexico's most reliable men, visited
the scene of the awful accident late
Saturday evening, but found nothing
that would in any way indicate the
manner in which the two met their
death. A careful search of the fields
and roads in the neighborhood of the
place was made, but nothing that
would point to foul play of any kind
was discovered. The one thing that
might lead anyone to think the two
had been foully dealt with is the fact
that nothing, not even a penknife,
pipe or any papers were found in the
mans pockets, and only a small bronze
medallion, a cheap affair, probably a
prize from a pop corn package, was
found in the boys pockets.
This fact is the only one that in any
way suggests that they were murder
ed. All their belongings, if they had
any, might have been taken away in
order that they could not be identi-
fed. However, the bodies were SO
terribly mutilated by the train pass
ing over them that any number OF
fatal Wounds might have been dealt
them and never found.
Many persons who viewed the
bodies Saturday expressed a good
deal of surprise that both should be
mutilated in SO nearly the same man.
ner. 1t is also strange that the en-
| gineer or fireman of the train that
struck them did not see them.
The ring, which vas found tied
around the boys neck with a string,
is a narrow solid gold band set with a
plain back onyx setting. On the in
side the initials ga. R." are rudely
cut, as if with a knife blade. In addi-
ton to these is the jewelers. marks,
consisting of the figures "91s4, ~nfantas-
tic cost mark and also a selling mark
sc. /. k" followed by a small "x."
The bodies were buried Saturday
| afternoon.
