CONDUCTOR DUZAN KILLED.
Ground to Death Under the Wheels of
an Engine on the Belt.

George n. Duzan. conductor in the employ Of
the Belt Railroad Company. was crushed beneath
the wheels of train about 10 o'clock last night,
and had breathed his last before his friends
reached his side. The accident happened near the
Hadley-avenue crossing. the Belt railroad, in
West indianapolis. and there was no eyewitness
to the affair. The facts. as far as known,
are that two engines and train crews were
switching side by side on adjoining tracks, an,
that the engines We're both moving in the
direction when the accident happened He may
have stumbled and fallen beneath the engine that
running by the side of the one on which he
was but the theory of the train crews is that he
stepped too close to his own train in order to
avoid the other engine, and that he was knocked
beneath the wheels of the engine he was trying
to avoid, by his own train. When found he was
terribly maneled about the lower portion of his
body, and from his hips downward there was
nothing left but torn and bleeding mass OF
flesh and bones and judging from the nature of
his injuries death must have been almost in
Simultaneous. There was also a large ragged hole
in the back of his head, and from this opening
much of the brain matter had oozed out.

body taken from beneath the wheels and notified

WHY MONEY IS IDLE.
Money can be borrowed at a lower rate

to the days of resumption. What more
healthful sign than this fact that a dollar,
sound the world over, can DC borrowed at
a less rate than ever before. That money
is hard to get is not because 1t Is scarce,
but because those who have it keep it.

business condition of the country. Money
to-day is idle because it cannot be profit
