Columbus, Ind., Dec. 31-A terrible accident happened here this afternoon by
which Guy Griffith, aged 15 years, son of Len Griffith, a prominent grain
dealer, lost his life. His boy in company with two others were out in a
rickety old boat on Flatrock River when it upset. Two of the boys got
ashore, but the Griffith boy sunk and was seen no more. The body had not
been found at four o'clock. He was an intelligent boy and the idol of his
parents. The river is very high and the recovery of the body is doubtful.

Livonia--One of the most shocking accidents that ever happened here took
place Monday at about half past eleven o'clock at the grist mill at this
place. Green Huff while attempting to adjust a belt, by giving away of a
scaffold, was thrown into the wheels and killed instantly, horribly mangling
the body and tearing his clothes into threads. There was no one in the mill
at the time of the accident except the engineer, Lee McPheeters, who was
down to the engine room. He discovered that something was wrong with the
machinery, went above to see the cause, and a horrible sight met his eyes.
The body was still in the wheels while flesh, blood and clothing of the
unfortunate man were scattered over the floor. He went below and stopped
the mill and gave the alarm, and the remains were gathered up and taken to
his home. Mr. Huff was a soldier in the war of 1861-65 and was about 60
years old. He has been for many years employed by Sam A. Patton to run the
mill and is known to all as an honest, upright man, always fair in his
dealings with everyone, and a loving husband and father. He leaves a wife
and several children single and two daughters married. All have heart-felt
sympathy of the entire community. It will be remembered that a few years
ago a son was killed by the accidental discharge of a gun while out hunting.
The funeral occurred at the Baptist Church Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock
conducted by Rev. J. K. Howard assisted by Rev. Shelt (difficult to read)
after which his body was laid at rest in the Livonia Cemetery

AN HISTORICAL BRASS CANNON
Young American, when in need of money, has no regard for historic
recollections and would undoubtedly sell a piece of the craft that carried
Noah and his passengers were he fortunate enough to own such a relic.
Six lads of Lexington, Ind., a few days since, stole a six-pounder
(difficult to read) brass cannon to which attach many historic
recollections. The gun was made in Paris, France, in 1792, and was captured
by the Americans at the battle of New Orleans in 1815, just 65 years ago.
It was presented to Mr. McFarland who participated in the battled and who
founded the town of Lexington. The gun was kept at the town through
generations and boomed liberty notes on every 4th of July and at every big
demonstration in that part of the country.
When the raider, John Morgan, captured Lexington, his men spiked the gun
which was mounted in the court house square, and they battered it with
sledge hummers. It had two brass loops just over the trunnions (difficult
to read) and these were broken off. Another touch-hold was bored
subsequently and it was remounted. A few years since it was stolen and
recovered just before it was to be melted in a foundry furnace.
Fortunately, the old relic was recovered after its recent theft, and it
hoped that it will not be stolen again.

DIED IN HIS SON'S ARMS
Sudden End of Dr. Solomon Davis, a Well-known Resident of Lexington, Ind.
Death came without a moment's warning to one of the most prominent as well
as the oldest resident of Lexington, Ind., back of Jeffersonville, yesterday
morning. It was Dr. Solomon Davis, a widely known physician and a veteran
of the late war. For several years past he had been a confirmed invalid as
the result of falling on the ice and breaking his hip, and for months he had
been unable to leave his room. Yesterday morning at six o'clock, while his
son, William Davis was assisting him in dressing, he uttered a moan and fell
dead in his son's arms.
Death was directly due to heart disease, an affection he had long been a
sufferer from. He was born in Jefferson County, Ind., in September 1810 and
had consequently reached his 81st year. He had resided a greater part of
his life in the vicinity of New Washington, but later he removed to Columbus
and subsequently settled at Lexington. During the war he served in the
capacity of a surgeon. Dr. Clapp of New Albany was his lifelong friend. He
was a devout member of the Presbyterian Church and a man respected for his
general goodness of character. One son and two daughters survive him. The
funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.
Hagerstorn (IN) Exponent, March 15, 1882, p. 3.
Connersville, March 8-The mother of the child born in a storm a few weeks
ago, under a tree below the city, is at the County Asylum with her offspring
which as been named Sycamore as suggested by the only shelter he had at
birth. The mother has hitherto maintained a mysterious silence concerning
her name and antecedents but is announced today that she now says she is
Miss Jessie McPharen and that her home is at Mitchell, Ind. It is now
claimed that she is of good family and that she has come to her present
surroundings through the old and bitter experience of woman's trust and
betrayal. She will be sent to Mitchell in a day or two when more light will
probably be shed upon the subject.

CITY MARSHAL KILLED BY A GAMBLER
Mitchell, Ind., Nov. 21-Yesterday evening a fight occurred in front of
McDonald's saloon between Thomas Bell, Thomas Bolliver and Skip Shomel in
which Bell shot and slightly wounded Shomel in the leg. Town Marshal George
Easley arrested Bell and took his pistol from him. Suddenly Bell snatched
the officer's pistol from his hip pocket and stepping backward a few feet
fired upon Marshal Easley the ball striking him in the side and ranging
downward into the abdomen. The wound will, the surgeons say, prove fatal.
Bell fled after the shooting but was followed by a number of citizens and
captured and taken to Bedford and lodge in jail. Bell is a gambler and had
he not been immediately taken to Bedford would have been lynched. He is a
resident of Louisville and had been at Mitchell but a couple of weeks.
Marshal Easley was a brave and good officer and highly respected.
