Third Tragedy of Four Killed A quarter of a century ago four men were killed at the Owen crossing a mile below Ellettsville by the Monon midnight Chicago express. 1897 four men were also killed about 4 miles west of Ellettsville, near the Ellettsville and Spencer pike. They were engaged in quarrying stone and were setting off a blast. A premature explosion of the dynamite killed four of the workmen.
