BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, SEPT. 14, 1900 MITCHELL NEWS School peons Monday in town. Leo SPENCER, of Georgia, was in town Monday evening and was made a Mark Master Mason in the Mitchell Chapter, No. 23. It is a settled fact that the Southern Indiana Normal College will be rebuilt. Architects and contractors are making plans and figures to that end. Crushed stone is being unloaded and used in repairing Marion township roads. If it was not so coarse some folks say it would be more satisfactory in filling ruts and holes. Herman CHASTAIN, aged 23, single, was killed Saturday night in the east yards by the work train backing down on him. He was an employee of the B. & O. S. W. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon. CHASTAIN is said to have been under the influence of liquor and asleep on the track when hit. Charles GILBERT, the wagon maker and an old resident of this place, died Monday, of a complication of diseases. Funeral Tuesday at 2 o'clock. Mr. GILBERT was quite an old man and had been a vigorous industrious worker all his life. He leaves, besides the aged widow, two sons, Perry and Garvey, and one daughter, Mrs. Shubel BURTON. "Shine" TYLER and Jack HARRIS two colored "sports" from Bedford participated in a "race war" last Saturday night and of course came off second best. Shine entered a plea of guilty to a charge of carrying concealed weapons and was fined $10 and costs which will cause a temporary retirement for about fourteen days at Senor 'DOBBINS' castle. Jack HARRIS with his head sewed up and an expression of injured innocence pleaded guilty to assaulting Lynn DODD, Fireman on the Bedford branch train although shortly afterward MR. DODD stated in court that he did not know who knocked him down. The plea of guilty had been entered however and HARRIS was released on his own recognizance to see if he could raise $9 to satisfy the Court.
