Investigating GAULT'S Death.
Believing that there may have been foul play in the death of Otto C. GAULT, 
27, of Frazeysburg, at Red Bud, Illinois, his uncle, Attornery Joseph W. 
HORNER, and his mother, Mrs. Sarah ASHCRAFT of Frazeysburg, have started an 
investigation.

GAULT lef Frazeysburg two weeks ago to go west in search of a position, and 
when he left he had several hundred dollars in his pockets.  This money is 
missing, as his body was sent to Neward without a cent in the clothing.  There 
were no marks of violence on the body, but investigation revealed the fact 
that the man't neck had been broken.  The right hip pocket had been cut from 
his trousers.  Undertakers at Red Bud, who forwarded the body, had the remains 
labeled unknown, although Mrs. Emma PRIEST (typo should read PRESTON) of 
Monogahelia, PA., had heard of the death and ordered the undertakers to send 
the remains to Ohio.

The young man was killed Sunday when he fell from a Mobil & Ohio train at Red 
Bud.  He was a highly respected young man.  The funeral was held Thursday 
morning in Newark, and interment was made in Cedar Hill cemetery.  John GAULT 
of Frazeysburg is a brother.
