MACKALL'S SAD END

Two Hunters Among the Hills North of Fredericktown Make a Ghastly Find.

THE ATTORNEY COMMITTED SUICIDE

By Hanging Himself—His Father-in-Law and Brother-in-Law Both Positively Identify the Remains—Mackall Was Missing Since July.

D. L. Gilbert, carrier of the mails between this city ad Fredericktown, brought with him the story of the finding of a suicide's corpse on the Cronin farm, one mile north of Fredericktown.

The two sons of John Black, while hunting among the hills, came across the badly composed body of a man. The corpse lay under a tree, from a branch of which hung a strap, by which the deed had been committed. The head was severed from the body, and lay some distance away. The two boys reported their find to the people of the village and many flocked to see the ghastly sight. It was thought by the villagers to be the body of A. R. Mackall, the attorney of this city, who disappeared last July, and word was at once sent to his father-in-law, J. M. Smith, in this city, and his brother-in-law, L. D. Overlander, of East Palestine. They at once hurried to the scene, joined by James Mackall, a brother of the deceased.

The remains were identified beyond doubt by these gentlemen as those of Mackall.

HIS MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE

Mackall had always been successful man, and was reputed to be very wealthy. In 1894 he suffered a severe illness, which affected his mind and caused his removal to Newberg asylum for the insane. In the spring of 1898 he had so improved that he was released, his brother-in-law giving bond for his safety. Mackall, however, was not cured, and in July he suddenly disappeared one night. At the same time a horse was missing from the barn of Mr. Overlander. The horse was afterwards found, but the halter-strap was missing, and nothing more was heard of him. For awhile it was believed he had gone by rail to the home of his sister in Kansas, but he was never again heard fo till his bleaching bones were found among the desolate hills above Fredericktown.

STORY OF HIS LIFE.

Addison R. Mackall was born in 1849, at Achor, Middleton township. He read law in Lisbon, under Hon. J. M. Dickinson, and was passed before the bar, coming to this city in 1876. In 1882 he married Rosa K. Smit, daughter of J. M. Smith, of Fourth street, and from this union resulted one child. The wife and child now reside in Wooster, Ohio.

Mackall was unusually bright and was an able barrister. At one time he had as a law partner, Hon. R. W. Tayler, now congressman from this district.

When the company was organized to build the East Liverpool bridge he was one of the leading spirits. Besides owning considerable realty, he controlled a goodly lot of Pittsburg street railway stock.

The sad news of his terrible ending brings forth expressions of sympathy for his family from the entire community and all who knew him. Mrs. Mackall was notified by wire Wednesday evening, and a funeral will be given all that of our old townsman.

FATAL ACCIDENT

Little Bessie Hargreaves injured by a Street Car – Hands, Arms and Legs Crushed.

Bessie, 12-year-old daughter of James Hargreaves, of East End, met with a fatal accident Tuesday morning (Jul. 3, 1901)

The little girl had been sent by her mother to a neighbor to get some milk. She rode a part of the way on the rear of an ice wagon, from which she jumped directly in front of an approaching car. It was too late to stop the car and the girl was caught up by the trucks.

Both hands, arms, and one leg were crushed into a shapeless mass.

Drs. Marshall and Trimmer were at once called and amputated the injured members. The little one was still living Wednesday. No blame was attached to the motorman.

The Street Railway Company has done a very clever act in stringing a wire up the hill to the Hargreaves home and putting in an electric fan for the comfort of the little girl.

LITTLE GIRL DIES

The little girl, after a most comforting talk with her mamma, died last evening between four and five o'clock. She said: "Mamma, I am going on ahead ot heaven – just a little while before you, It may seem long to you – but it won't be only just a little while. I'll be watching for you."

She was kept under the influence of aenesthetic<sic>, so that her death was painless, and she just sank to sleep from exhaustion.

The funeral will take place Friday afternoon at two o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Hargeaves have the sympathy of the entire city in their sad sorrow. Bessie was a dear, sweet little girl that everybody loved who came within the radiance of the sunshine of her girlhood nature.

The East Liverpool Tribune

May 2, 1899

Late Tuesday evening T. M. Bradley, William D. Fisher and John Thompson, the latter of Calcutta, went out for a boat ride, and after rowing as far as Babb's island decided to change oarsmen, when Fisher and Bradley agreed to exchange places, and in so doing Fisher stepped on one side of the boat, upsetting it, and all were precipitated into the murky waters.

Lying near, tied to the beach, was the towboat, John A. Wood, and the crew heard the cries of the young men, but by the time they got to them only Thompson was above water and he was rescued.

Word was at once sent to Robert F. Bradley and Benjamin Fisher, fathers of the boys. The news was a heavy blow to their families, but searching parties to recover the bodies were at once formed and on Wednesday afternoon the bodies were found near the scene of the accident.

JUDGE L. W. KING - Obituary

King, Judge L. W.

The East Liverpool Tribune

Judge L. W. King, of Youngstown, Ohio, died Saturday, July 15, (1899), after an illness of a month's duration, with a complication of diseases. During his illness he was attended by his brother, Dr. A. L. King, and four sisters, but all efforts of medical science and tender loving care were unavailing in prolonging the life of one of God's noblemen.

Funeral services were held at Youngstown Tuesday at 9 a.m., and were attended by a large concourse of sorrowing friends, including members of the Columbiana County Bar.

We take the following from the Pittsburg "Dispatch":

Judge King was born in Unity township, Columbiana county, in 1854, and attended the public schools in Lisbon. Before attaining his majority he located in Canfield, this county, entering the drug store of M. Y. B. King, and upon the election of the latter as probate judge, entered his office as a clerk and began reading law with W. S. Anderson, now of the firm of Anderson & Jones, of this city. Later he formed a partnership with Mr. Anderson. Prior to this Judge King had taken an active part in county politics and by reson of his eloquence passed rapidly to the front as a Republican leader. He was nominated and elected probate judge, and at the end of the first term unanimously re-nominated and re-elected by a large majority.

After six years in the probate office he retired at the end of his second term and formed a law partnership with his former, tutor, W. S. Anderson, which continued a number of years. Judge King then retired and formed a partnership with John E. McVey.

Judge King enjoyed politics as a relaxation from the heavy work of the law, and since attaining his majority has attended every national, state, congressional, and county convention of the party, and was always honored with recognition by the chair whenever he arose to speak, and given the closest attention, no matter how large the audience. Possessing the courage of his convictions, he did not hesitate to utter them, regardless of the time or place, or the effect his utterances might have upon him personally or politically.

At the instance of numerous friends, Judge King decided to enter the list at the Salem Congressional convention in Alliance two years later at which the present Congressman was nominated, Judge King was urged to allow his name to be presented at the convention by a sufficient number of candidates to insure his nomination. His reply was: "I promised to support Bob Taylor for Congress, and I intend to stand by my promise, as I know he would do under the same circumstances." The action of Judge King was typical of the man, and the eloquent speech he made in presenting R. W. Taylor to the convention showed that he had the courage to do what he knew was right, even when the temptation of a certain nomination was placed before him.

Judge King was a keen, public spirited man in the broadest sense, always taking an active part in whatever would advance the interests of the city in which he lived. He was largely interested as a stockholder in the Youngstown Ice Company, the Finished Steel Company, the Andrews Bros. & Company, and other leading corporations of the city. In social and secret society circles he was always active, being a member of the Elks, Masons, and Knights of Pythias, and was at all times ready to respond when called upon, either in the lodge room, or to contribute to worthy charity.

Judge King was never married, finding his greatest pleasure with his sisters and brother, whom he idolized, and to whom he gave the wealth of his affections.
