NERVE HE DISPLAYED
He Missed His Footing and Fell From
the Caboose and Was Dragged
Under the Wheels.

The Palladium yesterday gave an
account of the death at Elwood of w.
B. Phillis, the particulars of which
could not be CLEANED yesterday. Last
evenings Call Leader gave the fol-
lowing additional facts:
"The young man was at the rear
end of the train which was pulling out
of the yards at the depot. With his
lantern, he started to climb to the top
of the caboose and signaled the engi-
neer to go ahead. In some manner he
missed his hold and fell.
"The plunge to the track was di-
rectly in front of the wheels of the ca
boose, and they passed over his body.
He was picked up mangled and bleed
ing, by the persons who chanced to
witness the fall and whose call for
assistance brought others. Smiths
ambulance removed Phillis to the Of
flee of DIR. Hoppenrath.
"The company's surgeons. Drs. Ed
wins and Hoppenrath, assisted by
Drs. Newcomer and Runyan. made
an examination of the injuries. 1t
was found that both legs were crush
ed just before the hip joint The in
jury was one that appeared to be
fatal at once. The physicians gave
every attention, knowing at the same
time that nothing could save the
young mans life. An hour later he
was dead.
"Phillis' nerve was remarkable and
while he was considered an easy-going
sort of fellow by his companions of
the road, where he had been employ
ed as brakeman for about year, he
showed a GOODNESS last night, after
being hurt that surprised all who saw
him. He famed himself complacently
while his injuries were being exam
ined and talked with the surgeons.
"The young mans mother is said
to be in Iowa, and his father is be-
lieved to be a resident of an Ohio
city. After the coroner's verdict Of
accidental killing was rendered, the
body was taken to Richmond on the
80 Panhandle train this morning,
where the interment will take place.

and one whose name is familiar to
followers of rifle tournaments, being

The New Jersey team in its trial
tournament made some excellent
scores and the riflemen were confident
that they would stand an excellent
chance to win the National tourna-
ment.
''Our chief competitions said a
soldier to Palladium reporter, "will
be the shooters from Fort Sheridan,
near Chicago, whose records. made re-
Gently are the best made for many
years.
The rif1emen attracted quite a good
deal of attention at the station dur
ing their five minute stop, and were
kept busy answering questions from
the onlookers. The team travelled in
a special sleeper.

mo TYPHOID
CONTRACTED
IN THIS CITY WHICH IS CLEAN
AND SANITARY
THE RECORD OF CASES
Of Typhoid Fever in Richmond-All
But One Contracted in Other
Cities.
THE RECORD OF GASES

Richmond is one Of the most sani-
tary and clean cities of its size In
this part of the country. The water
is pure and not infested with typhoid
germs, or in fact, of any germs what
ever.
"Richmond has reason to be proud
of the excellent record it has Of a
clean city," said City Health Officer
Davis this afternoon to Palladium
representative, "for it is very seldom
indeed that any case of any kind
of disease is contracted. Of late there
have been nine cases of typhoid in
this city, and with only one exception
the disease has been contracted in
some other city. The one case refer
red to is that of laborer, who has
been in the habit of drinking from
wells in whatever part of the city he
has happened to be working. Be-
sides this, there is one case, that of a
four-year-old girl, in which the origin
Of the disease can not be traced"
"Of the nine cases of typhoid fe-
yer that have been in Richmond two
were contracted in Cincinnati, one in
Columbus, Ohio, one in Cottage
Grove, two in indianapolis, one
from drinking water from the
various wells throughout the city and
in one the origin can not be traced. "
This is certainly fine record, and
shows that the efforts of the sanitary
officers have not been wasted.
"Typhoid is the great 'hot weather
disease, :" said DR.. Davis, "and
Richmond has been very fortunate up
to date in the number and kind of
cases of typhoid that have been in
the city. Typhoid is not always a
water-born disease, that is contract
ed from the water,' said DIR. Davis.
1T can be conveyed in many other
ways as we'll. -

GUILTY FIVE MURDERS
The Noted Stranger Pronounced to
be Dead in Seven Minutes-A
History of His Life.

COlumDuS w., August I9.-AlIfed
A. Knapp, convicted Of the murder Of
his wife, Hannah Goddard Knapp,
and who confessed to five murders,
was electrocuted in the annex at the
Ohio penitentiary a few minutes aft
er midnight.
Knapp, who weakened when he
found his last hope for life had gone
and expressed fear that he would
have to be carried to the death chair,
regained his nerve and met his fate
with little show of fear or emotion.
The electrocution was conducted
without hitch, the first shock being
applied at 1902, the second min
uate later and at 1900 he was pro-
nounced dead.
Alfred A. Knapp, although convict
ed and electrocuted for the murder Of
his third wife, Hannah Goddard
Knapp, confessed to having commit
edfive murders, all of his victims be-
ing women.
Knapp was born in Greensburg,
Ind, in 1862. He had spent more
than half of the past twenty-five years
behind prison bars.
In 1854 he married Emma Stubbes
at Terre Haute, Ind, but was divorc-
ed from her within the year. In 1886
he married Jennie Connors at Law
renceburg, Ind.
Between 1856 and 1894 Knapp was
confined in the penitentiaries at JEFF
fersonville and Michigan City, and
shortly after his release, according
to his story, he murdered Emma Lit
tleman in lumber yard in Cincin-
natl. Knapp also claimed to have
killed May Eckert in Cincinnati in
1894.
Later in August of that year the
body of Jennie Conners Knapp was
found in a canal in Cincinnati, the
circumstances pointing to suicide.
Knapp claimed that he killed her on
