A TERRIBLE
TRAGEDY.
Biz John Allen Ground to Pieces
By a Train.
ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON SATURDAY.
Remains Were Found Sunday PartI-
ally DevOured by Hogs.
HELD $1,000 LIFE INSURANCE

Big John Allen, Of II is city, met with
a tragic death, by being literally ground
TO pieces by an Illinois Central train at
Olaton, in Ohio county, Saturday night.
1t will be remembered that he had trou.
BILE with one of his sops Sunday night a
week ago, at the short line round house.
After the fight that occurred he began
drinking and left home. On Friday
he turned up at Fordsville where he con-
tinued his spree. He met Conductor Ri
ley, OF the Illinois Central road at that
point and was asked by the latter TO get
aboard the train, but he refused. This
was the last that was seen of the unfoi-
tunate man until his mangled body was
picked up alorg the track at Olaton.
How he met his death is a mystery.
None Of the train crew saw him on the
track, and young man named Baum,
who conducts a store at Olaton, stood
within twenty yards Of where the terri
BILE tragedy undoubtedly occurred but
did not see the victim.
The accident occurred on Saturday and
the remains were not found until Sun
day morning. Judging from the condi-
ton Of the remains Allen must have laid
down on the track and the train passed
over him. The body was literally ground
to pieces, Portions OF it we're scattered
along the track for distance of fifty
yards.
One of the most terrible features OF the
tragedy developed when the search for
missing portions OF the remains was in
stituted. 1t was found that hogs had de-
voured portion Of the body and a sec
ton of the vertibrae, that had been car
ried away by the animals was found on
the banks Of the creek, fifty yards away.
A portion of the waistband of the vic
TINS trousers was found sticking to
car-wheel Of Chesapeake & Ohio freight
car that formed part Of the train. The
pocket attached TO the band was found
to contain nickel in money and several
other articles.
After the remains were found, the cor
oner was notified and an inquest held.
The verdict found that Allen met his
death by being accidentally run over by
train 402 on the Illinois Central road.
The corporation and its employees were
held blameless.
John Allen, better known as "Big
john" was one Of the best railroad men
in this section. He was formerly en-
ployed by the Breckenridge Camel Coal
Company, but was unemployed at the
time o. his death.
He was buried Monday at Rosine, his
wife and family being present at the in
terment. 1t is said that he held l,O0O
insurance in the Fraternal Mystic Circle.
II. l.. Stader, representing the local
lodge of that order went to Horse Branch
Monday to attend the funeral.
