KILLED ON THE
VANDALIA RY.
RAY BEERS CONDUCTOR,
DISEMBOWELED AT
SOUTH BEND FRIDAY
NIGHT-KNOWN
BY r. X. MEN
HERE.

Ray ID. Beers, 33 years old, con-
ductor of the South Bend yards
of the Vandalia railroad was in
stantly killed in grewsome ac-
cident Friday night about $50 o.
clock.
The accident occurred while the
train crew was switching cars in
the yards near Ewing avenue. w.
f. Pixler, a brakeman, was the
first to discover Beers. Pixler
made a coupling and then gave
Jacob ]. Weiss, another brake
man, a stop signal, as there was
another coupling TO make before
the cars could be shunted onto
a siding. In making the second
coupling Pixley spied something
under the car, took a long look
and then said: "Weiss, we've
killed Ray" Weiss hurried TO
the end of the car and found
Beers body laying across the
rack with his head on one rail and
his feet on the other.
The theory of the trainmen is
that he slipped and fell between
the beams of the two cars, while
attempting to make a coupling.
Beers was disemboweled and life
was already extinct when his fell
low employees reached his, body.
The couplers had struck him mid
way in the diaphragm and had
crushed through his body and
met. In falling the left leg had
struck the track as The wheels had
run over it near the ankle and ali
but severed it. In addition the
head was crushed and battered.
Mr.. Beers was exceedingly popu-
lar with the men with whom he
worked and was held in high es-
TEEN by his employers. He leaves
a wife, Maude, and four months
old daughter.

THEY ARE AFTER
BLOCKS OF FIVE
EACH OF 10000 EMPLOYEES
OF LIQUOR INTERESTS
GED TO A ID
FIVE DEMOCRAT
&c VOTES TO
OWN.

That each OF the 10000 saloon
keepers, bartenders, saloon port
ers, brewery agents and brewery
workmen and saloon hangers-on
in Indiana is to be asked to
pledge himself to secure five
votes for Thomas K. Marshall for
.Governor, it developed Sunday, is
the latest plan of the liquor inter
ests in the present campaign. 1t
mas also come to light that it Is
the plan Oh the breweries to line
up as much OF the colored vote OF
The state as possible, and the word
comes from Allen, Delaware, st.
Joseph, VanderDurg and Vigo
counties, especially, that an Ell
fort is already being made to
reach the colored saloon patron
age through the saloon porters,
VINO in many instances have been
assigned to the work OF organic
ing them.
A determined effort is being
made in indianapolis, through the
fifty or more colored men who
own saloons, to line up the color
ed saloon patrons for Marshall.
In a number of instances little
neighborhood meetings for this
purpose have been held in the
rear of saloons ON Indiana avenue
and vicinity.
The colored voters are being
appealed to on the ground that II
they vote for James +. Watson
they vote to sustain the county
local option law which must be
repealed ait all hazards or the
personal liberty"-tbc right of
the colored man to drink what he
pleases-will be taken away.
Ii has also developed that an
effort is being made to club all OF
the temperance Democrats who
signed petitions that went to- the
Legislature at its recent special
session, urging the enactment OF
county local option law, into
supporting Thomas r. Marshall
and Democratic candidates for
the Legislature. To these men
the argument is being used that
county local option has been TAX
CT out of the campaign as an is
sue and the thing for them to do
now is to rally to the support OF
Democratic candidates and issues.
Party loyalty is being appealed to
in this way. Names of the tenn
perance Democrats were copied
from the petitions by the mem
bers of the Legislature from the
counties in which the petitions
had their origin and were then
furnished to the Democratic com
mitteemen.
Thomas T>aggart has always
exerted considerable influence
among the colored voters OF Indi-
annapolis. That is being used to
the fullest extent and at precinct
meetings held by the' Democrats
plans to organize the colored
voters are being formulated. The
Colored Anti-Saloon League oi
Indiana is appealing to colored
voters to uphold the hands of the
party which passed the county To-
cal option law, for which the
league declared itself shortly after
its organization in Indianapolis
At Ft. Wayne the brewery
workers are advising the liberal
element of Republicans to vote
for Taft if they choose, but to de-
feat Watson at all hazards. The
same advice is heard in Muncie
Terre Hute, South Bend, Evans
Vile, Vincennes. Anderson and
other cities besides indianapolis.
