The little town of Batavia, situated about
twenty five miles from Cincinnati, is in a
state of excitement over picturesque lynch
ing which took place about 3 o'clock this
The affair grew out of an elope-
ment. On Sunday night last Mrs. Charles
industrious farmer of Clermont county, left
liam Story, who had relatives in the neigh
some time, ostensibly to visit them, but
really to pay court to the young wife, who
had been former sweetheart of his. The
lovers had beel having frequent meetings
in the very presence of the patient husband,
until at last there was an explosion,
followed by the flight of
the pair westward. They were intercepted
at Cincinnati by atelegram sent to the police
there's were returned to Clermont county,
where Story, alias Allen, was held in custody
at Batavia. The people of the region where
the elopement had occurred, locally known
as sHell's Half-Acre,'' determined that an
example should be made of Story as warn
ing to the city chaps. At 8 o'clock this
morning about seventy-fye of them came to
Batavia, entered the Munson house, and de-
manded the prisoner at the hands of the Of
fcer who was guarding him. Story, who is
strong and courageous fellow, offered to
fight any five of them in fair field. but
when the rope was fastened about his neck
he surrendered, and begged for his life.
They hustled him down stairs, and dragged
him, with rope around his neck, and his
| arms pinioned behind, along the street a
square and half to the new iron bridge
over the Little Miami river. In going to
the bridge Story unfastened:his hands, tied
4 behind, but kept them in their place as
hough tied, to help himself if nee essary.
4 The regulators then threw him over the
bridge with the rope about his neck, but the
rope either broke or slipped over his
head, and the man fell forty feet into
the stream below. The water at the point
where he fell did not exceed a foot in
depth, and the mob, supposing their victim
u to be dead, fired two or three shots at him
4 and left. Story, ba tered and stunned
crawled ashore, returned to the Munso1
House, apd gave himself up to the constable
His injuries are severe, but he will recover
from then. His escape under the circum
stances was almost miraculous. The peopl
Of Batavia had no hand in the lynching, an.

the deed. Mrs. Atchley is a woman of ith
form and graceful carriage, the best horse
back rider in the county, and the sympathie
