THE CONDUCTOR IS BEING HELD BROTHERHOOD TO RESCUE Rhodes Declares He Saw The Operator Close Switch, And Is Not Guilty. Leonidas T. Rlidtkes, freight con-ductor, who is held on a charge of manslaughter as a result of Coroner htlackwell's investigation of the Big Four wreck, near Brightwood, in which two trainmen were killed as reported in these columns last week, will be assisted in a fight to clear himself by the Order of Railroad Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. Rhodes, who is taking things easy in a cell at central police station, indicated to Judge Collins that he was satisfied to let his bond remain at $ 5,000 until friends come from Bellefountaine, 0., his home. Judge Collins con-tinued the case until Tuesday. Rhodes. under arrrest for the first time in leis life, says his conscience is clef r. - Re persists i: 1 hit sta ,, e-meat that tio. saw F. - Cos. es, the east yard station, lose the switch through which train o. 9, was wrecked in collision with a soldiers' special train. He says he cannot explain how the switch came to be open, causing the wreck. The arrest of the conductor caused considerable comment among rail-road men. It was the chief subject of conversation in the yards any-where about . Indianapolis, for Rhodes is well known on the Big Four lines, and despite the damag-ing testimony against him at the coroner's office, he it credited with a reputation for carefulness in his work that won for him the name of " Crank" Rhodes. Many of his rail-road friends point to Rhodes' failure failure to close the switch himself and the results that followed, as an example of " bard luck." For thir-teen years Rhodes built on his repu-tation on the Big Four for careful-ness and then in a single moment lost all. Rhodes said he expected officials of the 0. R. C. and B. of R. T. would call on him and as soon as bond had been arranged attorneys would be retained for Isis defense. Coroner Blackwell says he acted quickly in causing Rhodes's arrest, as the conductor's residence is out of the state. Under other circum-stances he would have sent his recommendations to the grand jury and the arrest would have depended on the result. Under the law, police court has no final jurisdiction in the ase and Rhodes' case will probably be sent to the grand jury. He is charged in police court with invol- Amtary manslaughter. The penalty provided by a state law on con-viction of the crime charged is from two to twenty one years' imprison-ment in the state's prison. Luther Reel, executor of the es-tate of Joseph Hinkle, deceased, will sell at public sale at his late residence 2 miles southwest of Greentown on Wednesday, Sep-ember 28th, horses, cattle, hogs, hay, corn, implements, household goods, etc., belonging to said estate.

Jimmy Got Lost. Jimmy Frakes of this city got lost a few days ago, and was in the reg-ion of the Forks of the Creek on the upper Wildcat when he found him-self. It happened in such an easy way, that Jimmy would never have told it, had not Isis wife been the cause of it all. , He had accompanied her out to L. D. Carter's, on the old Farrington farm southeast of Jerome, and for-getting that the road ran east and west, instead of north and south, he drove off to the east thinking all the while that he was going north. He failed to find the Cuthrell pike, or any place that looked like it mind then he discovered that he was sure lost. Meeting Elijah Stevens be was given the direction to Green-town and finally got home in time to feed the chicken. Picniced At The Park.

It was brought to a stop and passengers assisted the crew in picking up the mangled pieces of the body. Mrs. Hiatt was decapitated and her head, like the body and limbs, was so badly muti-lated that it lost the appearance of that of a human being. The mangled remains were brought to Marion on a Summitville car and were taken to an undertaking estab-lishment and prepared for burial. Mr. Hiatt was prostrated over his wife's terrible fate and the ghastly sight he witnessed. • Car Off The Track. Traffic was delayed here about an hour at noon yesterday, on , account of a box car loaded with hogs jump-ing the track at the Switch, and climbing over onto the new platform. Two rails and the switch point were pulled up and carried for two hundred feet. An engine from an east- bound through freight pulled the car of hogs on the track again. Ben Ellis was down from Jerome yesterday after a load of " firewood." Ile has a fine team of 3 and 4 year old black mares as ever went down the pike.

Mark Nesbitt, living in the south-western part of Grant County, com-mitted suicide about noon Sunday, by drinking a quart of carbolic ' acid, which he swallowed in the presence of au eleven year old daughter. After drinking the deadly drug, Nesbitt started to walk to his home from his country home a few rods away, and by the time he reached the veranda he started to fall, and was helped to a chair in the _ house by members of his family. Dr. Vigus was called in and did what he could, but the drug had done its work, and in two hours after swab's lowing the same he was dead.

Several of the country children had the closest call for a complete drenching, because it was the first day of their term, and while it had been cloudy all during the morning, such a wet time was not looked for. Reports from the storm say that over towards Peru and Logansport, it was much worse than here and considerable damage was done in quite a few sections.
