which nave been received here of the
dragging to death by a horse of the,
12-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. M.

Onion County Commissioners
Will Pay $500 to Find Men
Who Killed Nelson.

J ELK Point, g. d., July 5.-More than
three months after the death OF Ed
c. Nelson. of Alcester, and with con
H1ctfng reports circulating as to the
cause OF his death. the commissioners
OF Union county at it's meeting this
week offered a reward Of $500 for EVIL
dence that will lead to the conviction
OF persons implicated In his death
which, according to the report Of the
coroners jury, was caused from "vio-
h jury"
1t was first reported, when the re-
mains OF the mar was found, thai he
might have been struck by a train
while, walking along the side Of he
rack In an Intoxicated condition, and
the jury inclined to this theory until 1t
was determined by more critical ex-
animation that, besides an internal
rupture of vessels in the intestines
there was eight ounces of blood In the
abdominal cavity, and in his stomach
ar ounce OF liquor and a small piece of
fresh ham which could not have been
secured from the slaughter house,
where he had been at work three hours
curing the afternoon previous to his
peath and must have come from the
meat market, where it is claimed that
ne mao not beer during that time.
Evidence of Crime.
The most significant factor in the
NAOiSLiC dSdli, however, was
found in the fact that while there was
mud along the track where the remains
or Nelson was found, there was no
mud on his shoes. but where his sus-
penders were broken in the back his
shirt hung out and it, as well as the
inside OF the back of his coat, was
coated with mud, the only other APP
p~earance of mud on his clothing being
Where the body was found in contact
with the ground. All this is taken to
indicate that he was carried to the
place where he was found feet forward
by two parties. one at his arms and the
other at his knees, with the limp BODY
sagglng down where the clothes came
In contact with the mud.
The belief is that there were other
parties with Nelson in the meat mar
ket during the evening previous to the
nnding OF the body and that a row was
preclp1tated and hat without inten-
ton 10 XIII him he was struck in the
stomach and afterward carried to the

that he was killed by a train.
