Portland Cement Co.'S plant at Bufing-

The accident happened at about $50

panions. Fearful that some har mhad
befalle nhtn, number OF workmen be-
gan to look for him. They searched
everywhere they thought he might be,
without avail and finally some one
thought of the vat. With long pole
they began to fish about in the liquid
cement and on striking an obstruction
they brought it to the surface It
proved TO be the body of Hello, liyid and
horrible to look at. Several of the men
almost tainted. and all turned sick
with horror. They managed to get the
body out and the ambulance from
Krebs and Burns undertaking estab-
lishment was summoned. The body was
in such a frightful condition that it
was impossible to keep it a decent in
terval before burial, and interment took
place yesterday morning In Hammond.
The deceased. who was % years old
was married and lived in Butternut
street between 137th and 1sSth streets.
He had no children.

picked up and taken to the Mercy hos
pital 1t was found that he had lost one
foot broken three ribs and was injured
internally,
Early Sunday morning the unfortu-
nate young man passed away in state
of coma. One of his first thoughts af-
ter the accident had occurred was to
request that his parents Mr. and Mrs.
A. Smith of Michigan City be notified
that he was injured. When word
reached them the last car for Gary had
left and when they arrived in town
they learned that their son had passed
away.
A sad feature in connection with
his death was that Smith had planned

Several southern towns were patrolled

The mob spirit seemed to rise where
ever a negro cheered for Johnson aft

CORONER
RETURNS
VERDICT
THAT Peter Ripley Met His
Death as Result of Acct
dental Fracture of Bones
.2ii.: -'.;;;.-::=. of Neck While
Auto Was Speeding"
Especial to THE T1MEa.)

Hobart, Ind, July 5.--Deputy Coroner
Gordon of Hobart, who had charge of
the inquest over the remains of Peter
Ripley, today mailed the verdict of the
coroner's jury to Coroner E. NJ Shank
lin of Hammond. Shanklin would
dinarily have had charge of the in
quest, but his friendship for the de-
ceased and the other members of the
party was such that he thought In the
interests of the public the inquest
should be held by disinterested per-
son.
Consequently Gordon was called up
on to hold the inquest, and today the
verdict of the jury was mailed to
shanklin. The verdict is nothing more
than a finding of fact. No comment is
made about the causes of the acct
dent that lead TO the death of the we'll
known Hammond man.
The verdict merely states that Peter
Ripley died as a result of an accidental
fracture of bones of the neck in an
automobile accident, which happened
June 81.
Car Driven Recklessly.
The report states that the car was
less rate of speed" 1t states that
the steering gear was out of order. 1t
further states that the car was over
crowded.
The public is evidenly left to draw
its own conclusions as to the respon-
sibility for the accident. There was nc
censure of the driver of the car. but
the statement was that the evidence
shows that the car was over-crowded
and that 1t was being driven at ian
excessive and reckless rate of speed.
There seems to be some question as
to whether the steering gear was out
of order before the car took a chunl
out of the first telephone pole. The
fact that the steering gear was dam
aged after the first pole was strucl
has no bearing on the matter. The
question is what were the causes which
lead to the striking of the first post.

ACCIDENT
At H|RSH

A runaway team belonging to A
Schultz ran out of the Hirsch-Ste
plant this afternoon and crashed into
the passenger train which goes through
the city at 1:12 p. m.
One horse was killed, the other was
uninjured. and the wagon was de-
molished. The driver was not on the
wagon when the horses ran away. The
horses ran into the side of the rapidly
moving train and that both of them
were not killed seems a miracle.

Notice to Fat Women

Presumably you know, ladies, that
the proper caper nowadays is lines.
Curves are passe. You have got TO
take off your fat. This must be done
in one of three ways. BY dieting, by
exercises, or by means of Marmola
Prescription Tablets. The two former
will keep you busy for months and
punish you pretty severely, the latter
will cost you 75 cents at the drug
gist's. The tablets will not make any
alteration in your diet necessary, and
yet in all probability, before you have
used up one case, you will be losing
from y to 16 ounces of fat a dag.
Which method do you like the best?
If you fancy this pleasant method
of getting off the fat, see your drug
gist instantly, or else write the Mar
mola Co., 1871 Farmer Bldg, Detroit,
Mich, to send you a case by mail.
These cases contain so generous a
qantity of tablets that the treatment
is very economical. 1t is, also, quite
harmless, for the tablets are made ex-
actly in accordance with the famous
Marmola Prescription.
