Logansport, Ind., Dec. 11.- With military honors, the body of the late Lieut. Morris Brown, of the United States navy, who died Tuesday in Washington, D.C., was conducted here Saturday.

Logansport, Ind., Dec. 11.- The police are positive that John Maze, whose body, mutilated by two gunshot wounds, was found in the bushes along the Wabash river yesterday, was the victim of the vengeance of an Italian secret society and that his slayer is a man marked for death by the same secret organization.

Among the papers found in Maze's pocket was a note written in Italian, but so bloodstained as to be indecipherable. The signature, a rudely drawn hand, the inhabitants of the local Italian colony interpret to indicate a command or warning from the Black Hand society.

Shortly after the discovery of the body, John Ballamo, an Italian, known to be unacquainted with either Maze or Bibo, appeared at the police station and assumed direction of the search for Nicholas Bibo, suspected of having knowledge of Maze's death. Ballamo left at once for Peru, saying that he was confident of finding Bibo and that he would prosecute his search to Boston, Mass.

Logansport's Italian settlement is large and a factor in politics. [SOURCE: The Muncie Morning Star; December 12, 1904] Transcribed by DJ Faust, contact DEFLEUR@prodigy.net for info on copies.

Frank Brown, more familiarly known as "Beecher," died at 12 o'clock last night at St. Joseph's hospital in Logansport. The remains will be brought to Star City, his former home, this evening, and will be taken to the home of his brother Harry. The funeral will be held Saturday, with interment in the Mull cemetery.

Frank was injured on the railroad about two weeks ago. He was braking, and was on top of a car at Bradford, Ohio. As the train rounded the big curve there he fell off, alighting on his back across the rail of a side track. His back was broken, and his legs were paralyzed from that injury. He was brought to the hospital, and had been reported getting along, so the announcement of his death came as a surprise. He was thirty-six years old, and leaves a widow and one child.

Mr. William Jamison, a well known and very highly respected resident of Harrison township, this county, died yesterday, (Wednesday) at noon, of congestion of the brain. This announcement will sadden many hearts that were knit to the deceased by his honorable life, and manly qualities. He was an old resident of this county, and one of its most successful and highly esteemed citizens. More than thirty years ago, he bought a wild land farm in Harrison township and settled down there to make his home and it was a beautiful home place that he builded up around him--a little Paradise on earth. It seemed to the passing eye that he was prepared for the quiet and peace of a good and restful old age, but alas! Death claimed him, and like one of old, he saw the "promised land." He was a true, good man, however, and those who mourn his death may hope that it is well with him. The funeral will take place to-morrow (Friday) at Indian Creek Presbyterian Church conducted by Rev. A. Adams.
