DEATH IN BRIGHTWOOD YARDS.
He stood in the Middle of

f. Heidroski. recently from Louisville,
was struck by a cut of cars while walking
down the Big Four tracks in the Bright
wood yards late last night and both of his
legs were cut off, causing his death a few
minutes later. He was brought into the
city in box car on a special train. Drs.
Jeffries and Seaton, of the City Dispensary.
met the train with the ambulance. Before
they could move him from the car into the
ambulance he died from the loss of blood
and the shock. Heidroski lived at $50 Eng
lish avenue and was a stone cutter by trade.
Letters in his pockets from his wife would
indicate that he was a heavy drinker, as
she writes of his habit of drinking and
asked him to stop IL. He was in company
with two friends, all more or less intox-
icated, when the cut of cars backed down
upon them. The two friends were sober
enough TO see the train approaching and
got off the track, but Heidroski stayed on
the middle of the track and was killed. His
body was taken to the morgue and his wife,
who lives in Louisville, was notified.

MAY ERECT A TEMPLE
KNIGHTS AND LADIES OF HONOR
PROPOSE ONE FOR INDIANAPOLIS.
Also May Make Lodge Dues Payable
Monthly Instead of Quarterly,
at Present.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Sept. 15.-The knights
and Ladies of Honor began their fourteenth
annual convention here to-day with an at
tendance of 100 delegates from all parts of
the country. There will be no radical
changes in the general laws of the order,
although few minor amendments will be
made TO the constitution. The organization
has been in existence twenty-six years and
has membership of 1900. The supreme
protector is l.. b. Lockard. of Toledo. New
officers will be elected near the close of the
convention, which will probably remain in
session fourteen days.
Resolutions were introduced providing
for the erection of temple at Indianapo-
lis at an expense of $4,000 and to have
lodge dues paid monthly instead of quarter
ly. The cost of supplies to subordinate
lodges were reduced in some cases about
60 per cent.

NOBLESvILLE. Ind. Sept. 15.-william
Howe, laborer, of this city, killed his
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Horace Howe, to-
night, and later attempted suicide. He used
a winchester rife. The woman was killed
almost instantly, being shot in the left side,
presumably through the heart. 1t is
thought Howe will recover.
The tragedy occurred in Howe's rooms.
on the west side of the public square. The
woman, who was twenty-five years old,
came here from Muncie a few days ago to
secure evidence in a suit for divorce she
had instituted against her husband. Howe
succeeded in persuading her to come to his
rooms. and the theory is that he made
overtures of an improper nature to her.
He locked the door of the inner room in
which they were, and refused to allow her
to go out.
Finally she induced him to give her the
key so she could let her dog out. She went
into an adjoining room, which was lighted
only by the arc lamp in the street. Howe
followed her. and raising his rifle. fired.
The one shot was enough. The woman
sank to the floor and was a corpse in a
few moments.
Barefooted. bareheaded and hardly clad,
Howe ran down the rear stairway and
went to the home of his sister, Mrs. Num-

her what he had done and said he was
going 10 kill himself. He told Mrs. Num-
sell she would md his body next morning

But he did not wait to carry out that part
of his plan. Stepping out on the porch
of his sisters house he placed his rifle to
the right side of his face and fired. The
ball made a CHASTITY wound. but the doctors
