Aycv Device by yI.vhv.ymen.

CLEVELAND November IA strange
affair taking place on Woodland avenue be-
yond the work house the other night has
Just come to light. A lady living near the
hill was taken seriously i'll and a neighbor
and the hired man OF the house tooka bug
gy and drove to DIR. Stevenson's office, OPP
posite the work house, to call him TO the
sufferers bedside. On the return, when
about hundred yards from Bolton avenue
driving cautiously along, out OF range OF
the gas lamps, they were passed by two
men who were walking rapidly, and who
peered into the buggy as they went by.
But a short distance further a heavy
coil of Iope was thrown from
the roadside, evidently aimed lasso-fashion
at the horses neck. Ii missed, but caught
his feet sufficiently to cause him to STUN
BILE. The fellows, supposing their pray was
unable to drive away, came out from their
concealment and made for the buggy.
The hired man driving took in the situa-
ton, and in response TO the call OF "Driye
quick" he whipped up his horse, who
stepped high, evaded the rope coil, and
trotted smartly on. This is new scheme
of foot pads. The men were tall and heavy
built, with the general appearance OF being
ugly customers. The rope devise was most
certainly used as an antidote for the way
occupaniso OF buggies have Of whipping their
horses when asSailed.
