JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Sept. a. - A
strange story has leaked out in connection
with the wreck on the Airline road near
Taswell, last week. Thomas Anderson and
George Wilcox, of New Albany, were on
the train and in the wreck. Just minute
before the wreck occurred Mr.. Anderson
states that he stepped into the baggage
car to see a friend. He was turning to
leave, not having seen him. when he saw
a vicious attack made by one OF the occu-
pants of the car upon another man who
was demonstrating with him. The man
knocked down and kicked into uncon-
seriousness. Efforts We're made to revive
him without success. Just then the wreck
occurred. and when the injured were be-
ing picked up, the man who was attacked
was listed one killed by the wreck and
carried away. In case damages are asked
the Airline company will investigate the
case and try to find the guilty party Mr.
Anderson is well known and perfectly re-
liable.

KOKOMO, Ind, Sept IA curious cir
cumstance and one that caused no little
excitement is reported from the vicinity of
Oakford few miles south of this city. A
day or two ago Thomas Ray. aEtenant on
the Kelley farm, west of Oakford. was
walking through a cornfield and in the
center of it he found newly made grave.
The excavation is six feet long, two feet
wide and five feet deep, evioently having
been dug the night previous. The nnd
caused sensation in the vicinity and gave
rise to the rumor that murder had been
committed or was on the eve of being com
mitted and that the hidden grave was to
be used to conceal the body of the victim
and to destroy evidences of crime. AS far
ascertained there is no one missing in
the neighborhood. A theory entertained by
many is that there was a plot to kill a
wealthy nonresident land owner who visits
the place once month to look after his
interests, he being a resident of Columbus
and banker. Hundreds of people are Wis
iting the grave and trying to solve the
mystery.
