The deceased's brothers, Constable George and Marshal ADAMS, of this city, accompanied by Coroner SHIELDS, went at once to the scene of the accident and found that the report was only too true. Myron's dead body had been found about 7 o'clock in the morning lying near the track at a crossing two miles west of Akron, with his skull crushed in such a manner that death was, no doubt, instantaneous. The body was conveyed to the residence of the deceased's brother, George, in this city, where an inquest was held and the following report made: . . . . . death by a passing train while either standing, lying or sitting near the track of the C. & A. R.R., two miles west of Akron, Indiana, in which the accident was caused by the carelessness of said Myron Adams while in a state of intoxication. . . . A. M. SHIELDS, Coroner, C. J. LORING, Clerk. This report probably explains the cause of the accident as well as words could portray. On Thursday Myron went to Akron where he imbibed freely and started home late in the evening on the railroad track. Later he was discovered lying on the track about 80 rods west of the Akron depot and removed when he refused to leave the track, and again started westward. This was the last seen of him until found dead the next morning and from every indication he must have sat down or laid down on the crossing just outside the track so that some part of the engine of the west bound freight, which is due at rochester about 9 o'clock, struck him with fatal result. Deceased was about 33 years old, and leaves a wife and two little girls to mourn the sad and unnatural death of a parent and husband who was a slave to strong drink. The remains were interred in Citizens cemetery Saturday afternoon when a large concourse of people turned out to manifest their sympathy to the grief stricken relatives.
