J, Snell, have been carried out. The ashes of the late doctor wero tossed to the winds, and found a resting plate on the bosom of the Ohio river. Seven years ago, when the phy- sician died, he made the request that his body be cremated and the ashes thrown into the Ohio river. The body of Dr. Snell was cre- mated, but the ashes were taken back to the home of his son, Thom- » and kept in an urn. Time and again the son decided to complete the request of his father, but he was timid in the matter. Finally Monday, he came to Cincin- nati with the urn of the dead. Quietly walking out on the Sua- pension bridge, Thomas, without any ceremony, but with a tear-stained face, dropped the urn into the Ohio and all that was left of his father sank from his sight forever. Dr, Snell was a wealthy resident of Muncie. His annual vacations were spent in cruising about the Ohio in a palation pl ure boat. The Ohlo was his favorite place for pleasure, and his favorite place In death, His request is granted, BY MOONLIGHT. Jacob Is Charged With Man- ufacturing Whisky. Jacob M, Woodring, of Mount Ver- non, is in the county Jail awaiting the action of the United States grand jury, on the charge of running an iMett distifery and disposing of | moonshine whisky. His alleged of- fence is the first of its kind ever brought to the attention of the Fed- eral court in Seattle. Woodring says the accusation {ts the result of spitework.
