Nonunion Miner killed at Lodi.


Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL, Ind, Feb. ia murder was
discovered in the Pratt mine, at Lodi. last
evening when the dead body of John Peste,
an Italian, was found in water under the
cage, where the murderer had carried it,
hoping the water would hide it. The muir
der had not been committed more than five
minutes before the discovery, as the body
was still warm. The neck was broken,
which was probably caused by a blow from
a miners pick. A hole four inches deep,
made by such an instrument, was found
back of the left ear. No outcry was heard,
and who committed the deed and how he es-
capped from the mine is a mystery. Peste
had words with two miners early in the
day about him not belonging to the union
and the bank boss discharged both of these
men. One left and the other denies all
knowledge of the crime. Peste came to this
country short time ago, and knew no one
