JAMES LACEY, WHO'S DEAD.
Joke That Haunts the Obituary Col
umns Of Indiana Newspapers.

Indiana newspapers many times
each year in long obituaries record the
death Of man who never existed. His
name James Lacey. and the supposed
place of his death, Echo Knob. KY,
which is not on the map have become
household words. Notwithstanding
the fact that the notice of Lacey'S de-
mise appears in the regular death col
umn, some folks always laugh when
they read it.
Colonel William Penn of Tcrre Haute
a railroad man and former kentuckian
introduced Lacey to newspaper men
several years ago. 1t came about this
way:
Colonel Penn was sitting at his desk
one day reading the comic section of q
paper in which an imaginary Kentucky
duel was described. Three Ken
tuckians were pictured as playing
poker. Suddenly a fusilade Of shots
was heard.
.Trouble, it seems" said one.

first card player.

coolly.
The card game was continued with
out another word.
The story amused Penn and was
passed around to his associates. He
had hardly resumed work when club
reporter brushed up to him. saying:
"Any news today, colonel"

"Who is hep" asked the reporter
eagerly.
"A former employe of this railroad
here" said the colonel, earnestly. Gle

The reporter hastily drew out his

Of the office force. the joker related the
killing of Lacey, as told in the funny
sheet, carefully emitting the card
players.
The reporter. who was on an evening
paper. by dnt of hustling. caught his
edition and soon the town was reading
of the cold blooded murder. Editors
of the morning papers wired Louisville
Tor more particulars. and were in
formed that no such town existed.
They took no chances of being beaten
by their rivals. however. and printed
the story anyway.
On investigation they found that the
story was a hoax and it was quietly
dropped. The cub reporter nearly lost
his job and the tale leaked out, but
was soon forgotten.
After that every time a new reporter
came on the railroad run he was told
the tale of James Lacey's death; but
the murder features were cut out to
| avoid attracting too much attention.
Editorial forces were small and
changed frequently. and from time to
time the account of Lacey's death
would slip by a new editor or a hurried
