J. {. BLACKBURN
MEETSTRAG|CDEAIn
UNDERFREIGHT TRAIN
Well Known Ohio Man Is Killed When
Train Strikes His Auto at
0tway.

The Ripley Bee recounts the tragic
death Of Mr.. j. f. Blackburn we'll
known here and the father of |. K.
Blackburn, the popular Ripley Farm
Agent, as follows:
An accident that ended with the
tragic death Of ]. E. Blackburn, GA,
took place at 0tway, at 6:3O Saturday
morning.
Mr.. Blackburn was driving a Ford
truck over the railroad crossing, on
the road from Otway across the bridge
on the way to Mineral Springs. He
was the only one in the machine, but
Valley Freeman, otway, 50, was stand
Ing on the running board. The ma
chine was struck by west bound,
double-header freight train, going to
Cincinnati from Portsmouth. Upon
seeing that the train would doubtless
hit the truck, Mr.. Freeman shouted to
Mr.. Blackburn and leaped to safety.
He was not injured.
The freight struck the machine
squarely, hurting both the truck and
the unfortunate occupant some dis
tance. Mr. Blackburn was killed in
stantly. Both legs were cut off at the
torso. His head, arms and remainder
of his body were intact. Portions of
his legs were scattered along the track
for some distance. The engineers stop
ped the huge locomotives as soon as
they could. The first engine stopped
in front of the home of ]. F. Gordley
and the engineer called him to rush to
the scene. They extricated the body
of Mr.. Blackburn from beneath the
wheels, and although warm from the
heat of life he was dead when they
reached him.

Three SONS ARE
HELD FOR MURDER
OF THEIR FATHER
Older Brother Charged With Murder
and Twin Brothers Held for
Conspiracy In Clark
Killing.

Winchester, KY, August II. - Her.
bert and Hobart Schumacher, 10 years
old, twin sons Of John Schumacher, Sr.,
whose body was found last Tuesday at
his home between Kiddville and Oil
Springs, with two shotgun wounds,
testified Tuesday at the examining
trial In county court that they saw
their brother, John Schumacher, Jr.,
aged 81 years, shoot and kill their
father on Monday morning August 8,
following quarrel in the kitchen Of
their home on the farm Of Holt Ever
man, where the elder Schumacher was
a tenant.
The boys corroborated each others
statements throughout concerning the
details Of the killing. They stated that
they had been living with their sister,
Mrs. Lindsay Cisco, at West Bend,
Powell county, about five miles from
their fathers home, and that on Mon
day morning, August 8, their brother,
John, came by and asked them to ac-
company him to the Everman farm to
"feed the chickens"
They said their brother told them he
had had trouble with his father the
week before and had gone to the home
of his wife's parents to live. They
found their father in the watermelon
patch, and an argument between the
old man and the older brother ensued.
Josh Schumacher Jr., drove to the
house first and was sitting on the
porch when the twins arrived with
their father, the boys said. The father
went into the house and the twins fol-
lowed to get something to eat. They
stated that they were standing in the
door of the house when their brother
John came in and renewed the argu-
ment.
They claimed that their father
reached, for knife, whereupon John
presented a double-barreled shotgun
and fired one shot. They both ran and
did not hear anything further. They
remained in the barn for some time
and later John came in and set the gun
down beside some fodder Herbert tes-
titled that his brother threatened him
by saying that he would kill him If he
ever told. Hobart did not testify that
he was threatened.
Hobart and Herbert were held to the
September term of the Clark circuit
court on bond of $2,5O0 each, charged
with conspiracy in the killing Of their
father.
John Schumaker, Jr., this afternoon
waived examination and was held to
the grand jury without bail.

rifled and $50 in money missing be-
sides some checks. He and his wife
live in rooms above the store and they
did not hear any noise the night be-
fore indicating anything wrong. 1t is
supposed the burglar had a skeleton
key and unlocked the door. The cash
drawer had a bell on it and it is not
known how it was opened without the
bell ringing. Nothing but the money
and checks were missing. Later: 1t
develops there was no burglary at all.
Mr.. Gillespie found his missing cash

was probably fatally wounded and
sam Ray, q taxicab driver, was in
stantly killed when the officers auto
mobile was riddled late Tuesday by a
band or a dozen men standing out In

ty, had captured fifty-gallon still in

The two officers with G. T. Purvis,
a farmer, who had led them to the

returning to Hodgenville at 6 o'clock
after destroying the outfit when they
passed a group Of armed men stand
ing about twenty feet in front of a
mousse not far from the site of the raid.
When the car had gone seventy-five
or a hundred feet beyond the house
fusillade of rifle shots rained bull
lets on the automobile.
The driver dropped dead with a bull
let through his head.
Officer Mcfarland, shot twice
through the lower part of the back by
bullets which first penetrated the hind
part of the car, fell to the bed of the
machine.
The band of men with their smok-
ing rifles stood motionless in front
Of the house.
Sheriff Hornback, believing that il
would be suicidal to return the fire.
drove the car out of reach of the rifle
fire. Ascertaining that Ray was dead
he and Purvis gave first aid to the
Federal officer and then drove to a
Hodgenville hospital.
Physicians pronounced McFarland's s
