Coatesville, Ind. February 9 – Frank Snodgrass, age 56, a widely known farmer living at Fillmore four miles west of here in Hendricks County is dead as the result of being attacked by hogs after he was stricken with apoplexy in the barnyard of his home yesterday evening. Mr. Snodgrass was feeding stock at the time. When he did not return to the house after the usual period, his wife made a search for him, finding him unconscious and the victim of several hogs that had chewed off one hand a part of an arm, one ear and the back of his neck. Mrs. Snodgrass was carrying a broken arm in a sling and was unable to assist the injured man. She went to the telephone and called several neighbors, who finally succeeded in beating off the animals. Mr. Snodgrass regained consciousness several hours later but died soon after midnight. In addition to the widow, one son, Charles Snodgrass survives.

William "Shades" MACKEY killed in North Salem (1899)
submitted by Karen Zach:
Source: Weekly Argus News (Crawfordsville, Indiana) - issue of Saturday, November 4, 1899 - page 3
A shooting fray took place at North Salem Saturday night in which [William] Shades Mackey was shot and instantly killed and William Ragan so badly wounded that his life is despaired of. Ragan married a Miss Bateman in this city several years ago and is well known here having been a frequent visitor.
He was here last during the week of the street fair and worked "at Pitcher's saloon." Since that he has been working at Hayne's Drug Store at North Salem in which place the fight began. The dead man, Mackey, was a farm hand who worked near North Salem. He had a habit of visiting that place occasionally, tanking up on fighting whiskey and terrorizing the town. He was engaged in that favorite past time Saturday night when Ragan objected and both men drew revolvers. A perfect fusillade followed winding up in the street where Mackey fell with a bullet through his temple. Mackey, it is claimed, killed two men in Tennessee.
He served one term in prison and escaped another by leaving the state.
Ragan was known hereabouts as a sober, inoffensive fellow and not in the least inclined to be quarrelsome. He at one time lived at Ladoga.
