AGENT SHOT
And |. {. Depot at CeruIean
Robbed of S2O0,
Struggle Tin the Darkness Be-
tween the Agent and the
Burglar.
NO. 2zk

The /. (. Depot at Cerulean
Springs was robbed at an early
hour Saturday morning and the
agent, c. L. Layman, so badly in
iured that he was taken to Padu-
cab and put IN the l. c. Hospital,
Mr.. Layman gives this account OF
his struggle in the darkness.
Il sleep in the office at Cerulean
Springs, which is in the ]. G. depot
and away from the town proper.
came back 10 the station about 1:S0
o'clock this morning and went to
bed in the front room. had hardly
laid down when / heard a noise in
the back room. l jumped up and
started for my revolver, which was
in the rear room, when in the dark
ness l bumped into the robber. He
fired once, striking me in the arm
and then ran.
Gas soon as ! could strike a light
! made an examination and found
that he had forced an entrance to
the money drawer and stolen 5000.
The room was badly disarranged
and it may be that something else
was taken, but of that ] am not
certain.
II believe from the glance l had
of the man that he was a negro.
He had evidently been in the build
ing some time.
AS soon as possible Mr.. Layman
had bis arm dressed and was trans
ferred to Paducah for treatment.
He is suffering great pain, his
arm beng badly swollen. The
bullet, fred at close range, entered
the biceps, above the elbow and
flattened against the bone. 1t was
removed with some trouble.
Route Agent Chas. Abbott, of
Paducah, went to the scene Sun.
day to look after the matter.
The depot at Cerulean is remote
from the town, in a lonely spot well
suited for such deed.
Mr.. Layman was agent OF the I.
c. road and also of the American
Express Company. 1t is not clear
upon which the loss falls. 1t is
probable that all OF the funds of
both companies on hand were taken.

EXPIRES ALONE.
Mrs. NJ. E. UlriCh, of Lafayette,
Found Dead Friday Night.
Lying Where She Fell in Her
Cow Pen, Victim of Heart
Failure.

Mrs. NJ. Ellen Ulrich, Of Lafay-
cite, an old lady about 73 years of
age, died suddenly one day last
week. The exact time of her death
is not known. She lived entirely
alone and was first missed by her
tenant who called at her house
Friday morning and could obtain
no response. As she was in the
habit of absenting herself from
home at times, the tenant thought
nothing OF it. When he returned
that night and could still arouse no
one ne went to some of the neigh
bors to inquire for Mrs. Ulrich.
Failing to ind her, q searching
party was organized and some
time in the night her dead body
was found lying in the COW pen,
near her house. There were no
marks of violence on the body and
the old lady had evidently died sud
denly of heart disease. She had a
cup in her hand and had evidently
gone out to milk her COW. The COW
was not in the pen and she could
not have been killed by the animal
She had evidently been dead since
Thursday night.
Mrs. UlrIch was a very eccentric
widow, who lived on her own farm
and was possessed OF a good deal
of property, including real estate in
Louisville. She leaves three grown
children. Her son Clarence Ulrich
lives in Denver, Colo, and one
daughter, Mrs. A. NJ. Gilliland,
lives in Belle Aire, Ohio, a suburb
of Wheeling, w. Va. Another mar
ried daughter lives in Chattanooga,
Tenn. Her husband, from whom
she separated D or 80 years ago
has long since died. She was a
sister of Mr.. W. K. Lacy.
The body was taken to Louisville
and buried in Cave Hill Cemetery
Her mother died suddenly o.
heart truoble many years ago.
