BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, OCT. 26, 1900 SALOON KEEPER KILLED Howard Diedrich, Of Indian Springs Gets a Bullet In His Head. There was a Democratic speaking at Indian Springs Saturday night, and some of the boys became very enthusiastic. They gathered around Diedrich's saloon, yelled for Bryan and punched each other's head until the saloon keeper became angry and coming outside with a shotgun, ordered them away. They replied with jeers and Diedrich fired the gun in the air to frighten them. Immediately a number of revolver shots were fired by members of the crowd and Diedrich fell with a bullet through his brain. It is said there were five pistols shots and that it will be hard to tell who fired them. Diedrich died just before the Southern Indiana train pulled in at 7 o'clock. Diedrich was defendant in a damage suit at the last term of the Lawrence Circuit Court. Benjamin N. Crane claimed to have been robbed of $100 in his saloon while drunk, and sued for the amount, but the jury hung and the case was to be re-tried. Indian Springs Station and town is in an out-of-the-way corner of Martin county, has two saloons and is a very lawless place.

BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, OCT. 26, 1900 ASLEEP IN JESUS. William Thomas McAfee, born in Lawrence county, Indiana, Sept. 5th, 1836, died Oct. 5th, 1900. He left a wife, two brothers and one sister and a host of friends to mourn his loss. Mr. McAfee had been a member of the Methodist church for over 40 years, and was a devoted Christian. He was an honest and upright citizen. He was loved by all who knew him. We must not grieve for him For we know he is safe at home. He is free from the pain he so patiently bore And stands at the great white throne. The pearly gates of heaven And its streets of purest gold Have welcomed another sweet innocent lamb Into his great Shepherd's fold. I have lived for him and his sake only; Now my heart is broken and forlorn. All the house is darkened now and lonely, What is home with my dear husband gone? Death's grim angel by his fireside found him; O'er the stream of Jordan he has crossed; Dying, while the ones he loved around him Cried their hearts out for their loved and lost. O'er the quiet grave where he is sleeping, May God's angels, ever fair and true, Whisper as their vigils they are keeping. Still your loving wife remembers you. While in peace your happy soul reposes, While she thinks of you both day and night May her prayers fall on your grave like roses, Making all the way to heaven bright. WIFE.
