John Rucker by Wilcox, in Monroe county,
Ohio. Another affair, less serious In It's con.
sequences, but in somewhat the same limo, Is
now reported. Recently young girl named
Mellott, daughter OF q well.to.do farmer liy-
ipgon Mellotts Ridge, in Monroe county, was
standing at her fathers gate, when she saw
young man approaching whom she took for q
neghbor. Thinking 70 have some fun, she
hid behind post, and Just as the man passed,
she sprang out and shrleked. What was her
surprise 10 fnd the man an entire stranger.
This feeling was changed 10 horror when he
raised large knife, and with the exclama-
ton, Are you prepared 10 die?" plunged 1t
into her left side. She was saved from serious
and perhaps fatal injury by her corset steel:
The man sgain struck her, intiicting second
bad cash, aud rendering her insensible, when
be fed. He was seen by members OF the
the glrlS screams, but not recognized. The
case Is certainly mysterious one.
