Martin Landis Killed.
Lancaster Eagle.l

The Hooking Valley section
hands reported on Tuesday the
finding of the remains of an un-
known man near the Carol water
tank, who had evidently been run
over by coal train during the
night.
Coroner Samuel ely was notified
by Agent Longnecker and the re-
mains were gathered up an hour or
so later by the Coroner and two
men from Spropel Bros. undertake
ing establishment.
According to Coroner Cly's fig
ures the body was struck several
hundred feet south of the water
tank and the mangled remains were
scattered along the track for 265
feet, the body and limbs were sew
cred at the thighs and the limbs
cut up badly.
The man was about 40 years of
age, sandy complexion and would
weigh perhaps 100 pounds. He
was rather well dressed but was
evidently riding on north bound
coal train and fell off at that point
perhaps asleep.
From several letters found on
his person it would appear that his
name was Martin Landis, an EN-.
ploye of the Sunday Creek Goa
Company of Murray City, and
from an Adams Express receipt
among his papers dated December
31st, 1900, he had sent package
to Marion, Ohio, to his own ad
dress, and was evidently on his
way to Marion.
He had 48 cents and half pin
bottle of whiskey one-fourth empty
in his pocket, a husking peg, pack
age of tobacco and a coal banl
whistle, besides four letters ant
, the express receipt.
: The Coroner sent telegram t
| Murray City of the finding. Th
body was taken to Stropel's under
taking rooms on West Chestnu
street where it was prepared fo
burial and will be held awaitin
word from his friends or employ
I ers.

an alarm was given that a gang of rebels
were advancing hither, under the French

drums, except bagpipes. Immediately every
man in the place. including women and
boys, ran out to meet them. We soon found
our force much too little. and they were
far too near for us to think of retreating;
death was in the face: but to it we went,
and by the time half Of our party was killed
We begun to be all alive. Fortunately the
rebels had no guns but pistols. cutlasses
and pixies; and as we had plenty of mus
kets and ammunition. we put them all to
the sword; not a soul Of them escaped, ex-
cept some that were drowned in an adjoin-

Having SO said, he took leave Of the

thought himself. that II he went into the

he might very likely be trod to pieces; for
which reason he got upon a high tree. from
whence he called the King of the Ele-
plants. who was not far off. and addressed
him in the following words: I am said
he, the Moons ambassador; hear therefore
with reverence and attention what I have
to say to you in her name. You. who in all
ages have been famous for your alterations
of my royal mistress, know full well, 1
doubt not. that the Moon Is a goddess
whose power is unlimited. and that above
all things she hates a lie
THE King of the Elephants. who was a
Just an6 Il most pious Prince. treInbled
when he heard the Rabbit talk of these
things. and humbly desired to know the
subject Of his embassy. The Moon replied
the Rabbit. has sent mo hither. to let you
understand that whoever is pulled up with
his own grandeur. and despises her little
ones, deserves death: and that she is
grieved to see that you are not contented
only to Cypress the little ones. our peace
full and religious nation. but you have the
insolence to trouble a fountain consecrated i
to her deity. where everything is pure. Re-
form your manners, else you will be Sc
verely punished. And If you will not give
credit to my words. come and see the
Moon in her own fountain. and then tremble
and retire.
THE King Of the Elephants was in
wardly grieved and astonished at these
words. and went to the fountain. wherein
he saw the Moon indeed. because the water
was clear and the Moon then shone very
brightly. Then said the Rabbit to the
Elephant. You see the sacred deity: take
Of the water TO wash yourself. and pay
your alterations The Elephant very ODE
diently took some of the water, but puddled
the fountain with his trunk; at which the
Rabbit, Infidel.' said he, you have pro-
famed the fountain with your unhailowed
touch. and behold. the goddess is gone
away in a passion, retire therefore 1 con-
jure you. with speed from hence, with your
whole army, lest some dreadful misfortune
befall you
This threatening language put the King
of the Elephants into a trembling, and ter
rifled him to that degree that he presently
commanded his army to decamp; and away
they all marched. never to return to the
sacred Fountain of the Moon again. And
thus the Rabbits were delivered from their
enemies by the policy Of one of their So
ciety.-Pilpay.
