An Unknown Man Meets This Fate
Between Mexico and Vandalia
Another Thought to Have
Been Killed.

First 1872 q fast meat train goinI
east on the Chicago & Alton railroad
is due at Mexico q short time after II
in the evening. This train was the
scene Of what win probably turn oui
10 be a double murder while 1t wa
running between here and Vandalii
Monday night.
When the train reached Vandalia or
the night above mentioned, three
tramps, who were in 90 empty car
notified the trainmen that there was
dead man 10 the car with them. In.
vestigatIon proved their story to BE-
true. The man, a young ons, bad
been shot to death. The men In the
car said that during a nght between
the dead man and HE partner the
latter named was thrown from the
rushing train and probably killed
the other was then shot.
The tramps said that the two mer
who had done the killing had left the
train ct the coal chute about q mile
west OF vandalia. The body vas taker
from the car, but later replaced in thu
same a and taken to Roodhouse
where IL now lie; the witnesses were
allowed to depart and the matter vii
probably remain a mystery.
The young man who was shot is de-
scribed as being q young fellow wear
ing good clothes. He vas clear
shaver.
Coroner Bridgford, Of this county
is quite indignant that the remain
should have been taken from the
county and state and the witneHsel
allowed to depart.

MT. CARMEL ITEMS.

Correspondence of the LEDoRR.
MT. CARMEL, Aug. IA. ~ We are
having rains quite often, but not in
excess, and the prospects for q good
corn crop are fattering.
Quite a number ~ around here
went 70 the grand encsmpment at
Wellsville last week. They report a
good time, especially when it came to
Mr., Pat Dyer. The boys say he is
the same good hearted old fellow, as
he ever was.
The Middletown Grand Army Post
will have an encampment at Crutch-
er's Grove, about 2 miles north OF
that town, on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday of this week.
The annual old settlers picnic was
held at the above place last Saturday
and there was a big crowd in attend
anee. OF course, our friend, Mr.. Pat
Cullen, of Mexico, was there and de-
livered a speech, which was well re-
ceived. j.. M. Barker also spoke.
Our blacksmith has moved to Far
Der, where he bought property. At
present we are without a smith,
although this Is q good location for
such a mechanic.
Next Sunday Is the regular preach
ing day of Rev. Bell, of Wellsville, at
the church near here, and the annual
p~rotracted meeting will begin.
