Gardner of Seymour, in that state. Gardner was yesterday morning found in a culvert on the line of the J., M. and I. Railroad in a dying condition, one of his legs having been severed from the body by a passing train in the night. He was carried to Jeffersonville where he recovered consciousness sufficiently to tell his frightful story. While walking on the track the night before, near Henryville, he was attacked by three men. Not satisfied with robbing him, they tied him to the track over a culvert and left him to a horrible fate. By a desperate effort he succeeded in releasing his body from the ropes, but an approach train warned him that he could not clear his legs, which had been fastened with brutal ingenuity, in time to escape. Driven by despair, he wrenched his body from the track leaving a leg to be crushed by the train. He died at nine o'clock yesterday morning.
