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.
