LITTLE IS KNOWN
OF SAD ACCIDENT
Relatives Not Informed Of
Nature of Disaster.
Remains Of Earl Kunlsle Have Not
Arrived Mothers Condition Is still
Quite Critical.

Relative to the death of Earl Kun
kle, the Marion lad in Topeka, Kan
sas, little has been learned. The par
ents of the lad Mr.. and Mrs. A. Kun
kle, residing at the corner of Leader
and Chestnut streets have only re-
ceived the sad news of the accident
and death of their son and the word
that the remains were being shipped
here. s Smmmn
II Is thought that word may be
received today concerning the man
ner in which the young man met his
death. The news of the accident came
as a great surprise to his many
friends here Friday. Young Kunkle
was well known in this city and had
come here from Gallon, where he was
employed In the shops. After leaving
his work there he. together with his
parents, moved to this city some
eight months ago and the young man
left shortly after to take up work in
the boiler shops at Topeka, Kansas.
The father Of the lad is an engineer
on the Erie running between here
and Ohio City and at the time, when
and Huntington, at the time, when
upon his run. The news could not be
brought to him until his return Fri
day. The mother Of the lad had spent
the day at the Crawford county fair
and upon her arrival home the news
was broken to her.. The sad message
prostrated the woman and she is now
In serious condition.
Mr.. Kunkle, the father of the lad
was victim of an accident but q
few mouths ago in the yards at Hun.

ed Off.
