TOLEDO. July 30.-Pairdstown, an oil village
on tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, about
twenty miles south OF this city. has had five
incendiary fires within a week. and every
business house has been destroyed. Some
time ago the authorities passed m ordinance
iorbidding the sinking OF any gas or oil wells
within the town limits. Men who were holding
town lots at big prices, hoping to sell them to
oil men. thus found their aspirations checked.
Rcmarks were made that what is below the
ground Is more valuable than what Is above
It," The idea that a part OF q community would
sat deliberately to work and burn up u town
with the view OF converting the.site into oil
producing territory is stngul ar. and yet this
statement is publicly made by citizens OF the
destroyed village.
A Cincinnati detective named Burkett went
there a few days ago, and soon declared that
the citizens were engaged IN conspiracy to
burn tho town. An Indignation meeting was
held. and the excitement became 80 intense
that q scheme was started to lynch MIN. On
Monday night he was taken from the Gala
boosc and od to the woods whero a rope WAS
placed around his neck. II Is said the object
Was simply to Brighten tho fellow. but Mayor
Nusbaum reached the scene OF the lynchinG
none too soon. as tho young Dlnn was even
then being lifted Half dead with fright. he
begged piteously for mercy and promised to
leave the town.
