DASTARDLY DEED.
Attempted Murder OF a Young
Woman i'm Muskingum County.

ZANEsvrLLE, O., September NELSON
Stein and family, residing on "A farm
near Roseville, this county, being de-
sirCus 10 make a visit and having lot OF
little chickens and some household pets
TO care for, arranged with Miss Alice
Crooks, a near neighbor and very re-
spectacle young lady, eighteen years of
ace. to visit the Stein residence for the
purpose OF feeding their chickens, &c,
during their absence. On Saturday even
ing Miss. Crooks went 10 Mr.. Stem =
for that purpose, and after attending
70 such duties as were necessary she
went 10 the cellar for the purpose OF get
ting some fruit Mrs. Stein had told her
to take home, and while in the act OF
picking up the jar containing the truit
was struck with club over the head by
an unseen assassin, knocking her insen-
sible. in which condition she lay several
hours. On her recovery she found her
hair had been cut from her head, dress
torn from her person, her hands badly
cut as with knife, and a piece OF her
dress tied about her mouth and eyes.
As soon as Miss Crooks was able 10
walk she went TO her home, about a
half mile distant, and told her parents
all she knew concerning the affair The
news spread very rapidly, and the
neighbors became very much excited.
Suspicion rests on young man, who, 1t
is thought, knew OF the arrangement
made between Mrs. Stein and Miss
Crooks. and, in fact, II is so strong that
his arrest will probably take place to-
4.
prostrated, from metal excitement more
than bodily injuries. 1t it not thought
any outrage was committed on the per-
son Of Miss Crooks, but the intention Of
the assassin was 10 commit murder.
