a Young Lady Arrested for Arson.

4 Young Lady Arrested for Arson.
Special to the Sentinel:
WINCHESTER, Ind, April II. = Marshal
Fletcher, of this city, arrested one Melissa Ann
Woodbury., at Salem, this County, late Satur-
day night, on the charge of arson, and
brought her 10 this place and arraigned her
before Esquire Patty for trial, who bound her
over I'm the sum OF $500 for her appearance
next Thursday. The particulars of the case,
which are rather sensational follows:
On August 8, 1873, a gay young LothariO of
Salem, who had been keeping Melissa COM
pany for quite a while, promised to take her
buggy riding in the evening. Failing to put
In an appearance at the appointed time, she
took up her position on a prominent street
corner, to watch for his coming She had but
a few moments to wait, as he soon came DASH
ing down a by street; but 10. and behold an
other fair damsel was occupying the seat
that Kate desired, which aroused her
ire. AS they passed, bystanders heard her
(Melissa) say, "By God, he will never ride her
or any other id woman in that buggy"
That night Booman's fathers barn was fired
and totally consumed with all its contents. in
Guiding the horse and buggy in question, en-
failing loss OF 81 500 upon the senior BoOman.
Suspicion pointed to Melissa as the incendiary,
and her arrest was talked of at the time, but
nothing was done, however, until last Satur-
day, when Mrs. Matilda Gates, married sister
of Melissa, voluntarily came forward and
swore out the Necessary affidavit for her arrest.
After a lapse OF seven years, the evidence
against her is conclusive and will, no doubt,
result in her conviction. She is the first
female ever arreste1 in this County on the
charge OF arson, it is supposed. Melissa has
been sufficiently revenged, as after lapse of
seven years the young man has not yet en-
tered the matrimonial state, either with
Melissa or the other girl, and she has made no
attempts at coercion. Great interest is being
taken In the case here.

SIDNEY, OHIO.
A Cold BIooded Murder.

Special to the Sentinel:
SIDNEY, o., April e.-This evening as train
No. IL on the Bee Line left Sidney, Ohio, going
west, a tramp got ON the rear end of the last
coach. When approached by Conductor d.
Murphy he refused to pay his fare.
The train was stopped at Harden,
the first station, five miles west of Sidney, and
the tramp got on. The train was again started
whereupon he reboarded it, and the train was
again stopped and the tramp put of. After
the train was again underway the man once
more boarded 1t, making the third time. After
getting on this time he drew his revolver and
fired through the glass of the doors. 1t is sup
posed that he intended the leaden messenger
of death for the heart of Conductor Murphy
but instead OF striking Mr.. Murphy 1t pene-
trated the head of Mr.. Joseph NJ. Leahman, a
passenger on his way from Sidney to Huston,
o., where he resided. Mr. L. died in a short
time after the fatal shot was fired. A wife
and one child are left to mourn his untimely
death. After firing and killing Mr.
Leahman, the villain jumped from
the train, and fired once at the
brakeman, but without effect and then fed to
the woods. The employees and officers did all
In their power TO make the wounded man
comfortable before death. The officials of the
road have offered large reward for the cap
ture of the murderer, but up to a late hour last
night he had not been arrested.

A man was walking along one road, and q
woman along another The roads finally
UNITED into one, and reacking the point OF
junction at the same time, they walked on
together. The man was carrying q large iron
kettle on his back; in one hand he held the
legs of live chicken; in the other, a eane; ):
and be was leading a goat. They neared
dark ravine. Said the woman: II am afraid
to go through that ravine with you; il is
lonely place, and you might overpower me
and kiss me by force" Said the man: "How
can possibly overpower yon and kiss you
by force, when 1 haze this great iron ket-
tie on my back, cane in one hand,
live chicken in the other. and am leading
this goat? / might rs we'll be tied hand ana
foot" Yes" replied the woman but u
you should stick your cane In the ground
and he your goat 10 it and turn the kettle
bottomside mp and put the chicken under 1t,
then You might wickedly kiss me In spite oi
nv resistance" Success to thy iDgenalty
o. womanl' said the rejoicing man TO him
self. II should never have thought OF this
or similar expedient." And when the,
came to the ravne, he stuck his cane int
the ground and tied the goat to it, gave tn
chicken to the woman, saying: Hold
while / cut some grass for the goat" an,
then-so runs the legend-lowering the kel
tie from his,shoulders, he put the fowl unde
it, and wickedly kissed the woman, as SD
was AFRAID he would.
