OBITUARY
       DUNK POWELL
Killed at Glen Dean Monday
Falling From His Horse -- Neck Broken --
      Well Known Man
       ___________

     The body of Dunk POWELL was found on the road Monday evening about 1/2 mile 
from Glen Dean by Dr. P. E. Dempster.
     The neck was broken, and death had occurred probably two hours before the 
body was found at 7:30 o'clock.
     A coroner's jury was summoned by Justice B. A. Whittinghill, and after an 
examination, it was declared that death had resulted from being thrown from his 
horse.
     It was thought when the body was found, that death had resulted from foul 
play at the hands of someone, but on examination, no bruses or injuries were 
found except a dislocation of the vertabre at the base of his skull.
     Dunk was last seen at Glen Dean about 3 o'clock in the afternoon when he 
went away in company with D. B. CLARK.
     The body was taken to the home of his parents at Glen Dean, and his family 
notified of the accident.  He was in Hardinsburg in company with his father 
Monday morning, leaving here on the noon train.
     He was about 35 years of age, and leaves a wife and several children --
