Upon receiving the news of the das
tardly outrage committed ia our
neighboring village of Carey last Fri
day morning JEFF commissioner was
Immediately dispatched to the scene
of action to get the particulars of the
terrible crime, of which the following
is correct account
Mrs. H. Hopkins,the wife of a respect
able citizen and brickmason of Carey,
was sleeping alone in a room on the
ground ioor of her residence, her hus
band being absent in Wbarton,bnrg.
nine miles distant, at work. Her txo
little children, boy and girl, were
asleep ill the next room. Between 8
and o'clock in the morning she was
awakened by noise at one of the
windows. Looking ont she saw man
who, from the outline against the
light she thought she recognized. She
psjd little attention to it, however,
and again went to sleep. 1t seems
that the fellow then weut around to
the back part Of the house, aud BY
placing box on table and a chair
on the box, entered the house through
an upper window, removed his shoes,
and de cended the stairs, thence to
Mrs. HIS room. She was aroused by
his being at her bedside, and he hoarse-
Iy whispered in her ear. ''Don't make
any noise, or resist, or I'll kill YOU" He
lid NOT place his hand over her mouth
as reported, but she, being paralyzed
with fear, made no resistance while
he fend accomplished his purpose and
departed.
1t was some time after befure she
,ould summon sufficient strength to
light lamp and raise an alarm. Upon
he entrance of the neighbors she re-
ated what had occurred, and SAID that
he believed the guilty person was
). B. Rush, disreputable young man
bout twenty years old. who a short
ime ago served term ii the peniten
iary fer robbery.
Mrs. dopk ins was in state of utter
'rostration Friday morning, and re
NAMED very much enervated during
but was gradually improv
ng.
Shortly after z o'clock, Friday
norning, Rush was arrested at the ]
ouse of widow named Barnheiser, !
rho had adopted him when quite
oung. Rush was in bed when Mar
hal Mcclure entered the room. He
sked what he was arrested for, and, :,
'hen told, denied his guilt. He was I
cry nervous on the way to Jail, ex-
laiming ''Dou't let them hang me-"
nd requested to be locked in cell.
The news of the outrage spread like 1
'ildfire. The citizens became greatly I
kcited, and murmers of lynching were t,
card on every hand. No effort was
lade to lay violent hands on the pris- ]
ner, however, but fearing that an at !
.mpt would probably be'made to :
'nch him Friday Dight,. and Lot
eeming it iudicious to wait for the
veaing train, the Marshal took him
} Upper Sandusky in buggy Friday
fternoon and lodged him In Jail, lie
aving previously waived an examina-
on at Carey before Mayor Carnthers,
ho bound him over to court In the
I'm of $1,000. p
While imprisoned at Carey . repor

, be heavy set, smooth faced, aad
lllen, with rather villianous express
on. He declined talking beyon ex,
ressing denial of his guilt. He is a
larried man but his wife has left
