Abe Parker is Killed North
of the City.
5OOY IS STIFF WHEN FOUND
Laid All Night Along G. M.
& B. Track.
Coroner Determines That Death was
Caused by His Attempt to AlIght
From Fast Moving Carr Skull
Fractured in Sixteen Places

Abe Parker. aged thirty-eight years
and unmarried. met horrible death
Friday night when he attempted to
jump from n fast moving north bound
interurban car. His body was found
early Saturday morning by the mot
orman on the early morning Bucy-
rus car.
Nobody will ever know the exact
details of the accident. 1t is pre-
sumed, however, that Parker boarded
the eight o'clock car Friday evening
expecting to go to Bucyrus.
1t is thought that when the car
reached the Hamilton quarries just
north of town, for some unknown
reason he attempted to jump.
The body was cold and stiff and
the head and part of the shoulders
were buried in the track bank, when
the Schaffner call wagon and Coroner
Hinklin arrived. The coroner's
thorough examination disclosed that
the victim had plunged headlong in
to the gravel bank which arose on
either side of the tracks. His head
had struck fairly into a small crew
ice washed out by the water, bury
ing the upper part of the body. The
victims skull was fractured in six
teen places and the brains were ooz-
ing from the crevices of the frac-
tured tables. The left arm was also
broken and the shoulders were cut
and bruised. The coroner pronounced
death as having occurred instantly.
Judging from the position of the
body, the coroner decided that Park.
er was thrown headlong into the
gravel bank when attempting to
alight from a north bound interurban
train. His verdict will be to this ef-
feet.
A peculiar feature of the accident
Is the fact that no person saw
Parker get on the car and no one
saw him In his mad leap. The last
seen of him alive was at about 6
o'clock Friday evening in local
restaurant.
The deceased had resided in Marion
all of his life. For near
ly twelve years he had been en-
ployed as a hostler at the livery
stables of Bert Crow. He is sur
vived by one sister and five brothers.
Funeral arrangements have not
been completed.

SQUIRREL SEASON
For Thirty Days Bushy
Tailed Fellows Will be
in Danger.

The fall season for shooting squir-
rels began Friday and quite few
sportsmen from the city left bright
and early for the big woods south
east of Marion. The law will be in
about thirty days.
The reports from the hunters dis.
close that there are more squirrels
than usual in this vicinity. The gray
squirrel Is almost extinct but the fox
squirrel seems much In evidence i.
The groves. which contain squirrel,
are said to be all located east and
southeast of Marion. The north and
western parts of the county are bar
rem so far as the squirrel hunting
sport Is concerned.

.MARYSvILlE WRESTLER
GETS DISLOCATED SHOULDER
Italian Strong Man Wins
Match in Armonry.
Devotees of the Sport Saw n Very
Good Exhibition of the Once Very
Popular Game Here.

A few faithful followers of the
wrestling game saw a mighty clever
match in the armory last night as
"a result OF the challenge issued TO
Joe Alvina, the Italian strong man,
by Lewis Winslow. the Marysville
middle weight mat artist.
The Italian won the match after
thirty-five minutes of wrestling
Getting a hammerlock on Winslow
he threw the latter's arm so far
back that the shoulder was dislocat-
ed and Winslow had to forfeit
Neither man had gained a fall in this
time although the Italian had sever
al times all but downed the sturdy
American.
Alvina claims Rome, Italy as his
home. His particular stunt is fol-
lowing the fairs and daily amusing
the crowds by allowing a man with
a sledge hammer to break 500
pound stone on his chest. Alvina also
takes penny nails and bends them
into staples with ease.
during the match the italian was
the aggressor and several times had
holds that looked certain to bring
fall' Winslow showed cleverness in
getting away.
This Is the first time that either
Wihsiow or Alvina have appeared
here. The side bet OF $50 posted at
ringside went to Alvina along with
the meager gate receipts.

The best days sport on the half

three fast races and two good events
postponed from the day before were

er persons on the grounds.
The party opened with the fifth
heat OF the 2;16 trot, the $400 event
which was undivided at sundown on

in the piker betting could not finish
better than fifth.
The unfinished 2:20 trot followed.
There was n surprise or two In this
event, two heats OF which were pulled
on on Thursday. Independence was
touted to win and Baron Lavish was
thought TO have show for the
money Czaretta, the bl. m. driven
by Tallman, OF fleetwood, and

There was some nice driving in this
event Hamboro. n speedy chesnut

than on the day before. He threw

drawn.

little sport until the final heat.
