THIRTY-FIRST YEAR NO. 48, CEDARYILLE, 0 A SUCCESSFULSHOW. pierced through tin? heart with a bullet, the body of David Wallace aged 40, was found a t & o'clock Tuesday evening, lying beside a fence along tbo Columbus pike, a t the edge of Xenia. , ITnder his log and partly con- oealed by it, was a 32-caUbi’e. revel- vet, with a barrel almost eight incites long. Ju s t over the fence inside the field, Was found a half filled sack of corn. Near the road­ side was also another sapk of 'corn,' which had evidently been, hastily dropped. The police and Coroner Johnson believe that the man was hiurdetect by corn thieves. They say tha t the* position of the revolver and the lo­ cation of the wound preclude-the possibility of fctio suicide theory. Tiie body of Wallace is now being held by the coroner. A man who lives, near the spot Where the body, was found, W, H, Cordell, says tha t a t about 7:30 •o'clock he was startled by three •successive shots, I t was John Lewis, who was on his way to Xenia, who found the body, abouttorty-diveuiiontee later. He hurried to'the house ot^Cordell, With the news,, and later stayed with the body until the coroner ar­ rived. Wallace wasa tenant onthefarm bn which he \vas found dead, the owner of the place- is Roacoe Conklin. Wallace lived with his Wife, but she has been visiting in Leesburg for several days. The Victim! wag in Xenia in the after­ noon and was bringing, but not heavily* Those who saw him say th a t he could, not have been drunk, and the condition of his body did not indicate it. The most tehable theory seems to - be, tha t of the pdKce and coroner— tha t Waiiace tried to capture corn, thieves and, was shot down in cold blood. The Weapon is treasured by the officers aa a clue which wilt pTdbably lead in the npprenenaidn 'Tfao coi'&'oliOW held by the Gam Improvement Association. _jui -this epuptywas^uite a,'success.
