THE DUNCAN CASE.

II tell you the people out my way are
wondering why no arrests have been made
in that Duncan affair."" remarked one of
the most prominent farmers of Ellsworth
township TO a Vindicator reporter last
night.
"The coroner undoubtedly knows his
business, but with every indication point
ing to a murder, it is q little strange that
suspicion should not rest upon any one.
"The generally believed theory of the
people in the vicinity of the crime is this
That the girl was in the barn when she
received the blow which caused her death /;
that the body was carried from the Earn
and concealed in the smoke house,
where it was during the search made the
night of the girls disappearance and
that the body was placed where it was
found, but a short time before the
brother discovered il. One OF
the things that leads the people to think
that the girl did not meet her death at the
place where che was found, is the fact
that at the first examination made, her
mouth was full of clay, and that there Is
no clay in the yard where she was found.
"Another thing which is looked upon as
peculiar is the fact, that after looking for
the girl the night before, and finding that
she was not at any OF the neighbors', the
members of the family all went about
their work the next morning, betraying
no anxiety concerning the girl, and max
ing no effort to discover her whereabouts
until she was accidentally discovered by
John. To all appearances IL looks as IL q
murder had been committed, and that an
effort was being made to shield the muir
derer."-l Youngstown Vindicator.

"A STRANGE CASE.
Something More Regarding Ida Nor
risOn Of Carrollton.

CARRoLLToN, o., May 1,--[Special.l- J.
After the excitement over the attempt to
kill Miss ida Morrison, the young lady
employed at the Hotel Van Horn, has sub
sided, the facts appear substantially the
same as published in the NEws'DEMocRAT
at that time.
Miss Morrison was born in Boston,
Mass, while her mother was visiting there
and is about nineteen years old. she does
not know the name of her relatives but
has faint, childish resollections OF her
childhood being AMONG luxurious sur
Her first recollection is Of the time when
she was placed in the Cleveland Protes-
tant Orphan Asylum, by woman named
Morriosn, who charged her never TO men
ton the name of Carpenter.
1t has been ascertained byinquiry at the
Asylum that the woman said that
the girls name was Blake,
taken from the Asylum by Mr.. Solomon
States of Kilgrove, with whom she lived
until last fall, when she secured position
in the Hotel Van Horn.
Some few days before the assault,
stranger raped at the side door OF the
hotel and asked for Miss Ida Morrison.
She replied that she was the person. The
stranger then warned her to keep indoors
as her life was in danger and with an inn
pressive manner, said: "Mind what tell
you,n and quickly walked away in the
darkness. The girl greatly frightened,
turned to her companion Miss Mary Long,
who had heard the warning. She was
alone for some days, but being
brave and resolute, she shook of her fears
and thought no more Of the mysterious
warning.
Tuesday evening she was upstairs in the
room occupied by Miss Alma Stemple, and
started down stairs. The ball
was in total darkness, although
few moments before two lamps were
burning. As she turned corner
in the hall some one seized her and she
struggled to free herself, and just as she
succeeded another person said, "Damn it,
why didn't you shoot?r
She ran screaming down the stairs
where crowd quickly gathered, anxious
to learn the trouble. Ii was some time
before she was able to relate the occur
renee. The house was quickly searched
but no one was found, as the men had es-
capped by an unused passage over the
Racket store, whose proprIetors heard
them running overhead. Miss Stemple
heard the noise but was afraid to open
the door of her room. Miss Morrison had
her side bruised and was completely pros
trated, being confined to her bed for sew
eral days. ..
Since the occurrence she has received
letter from Mrs. Bowen OF Boston, Mass,
who says that she travelled in the South
some years ago with party, among them
being little girl called Ida Morrison, and
who was well connected.
She has also received a letter from q
man in New York containing proposal
of marriage. She regards it as being the
work of a crank, and does not divulge his
name, 1t would not be surprising IL all
her trouble should end in reunion with
her lost relatives, and SO compensate for
her persecution.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Henry ]. Sommer Sustains Painful
Injuries
while Attempting to Replace Belt That
Had Slipped Off wheei---The PartiOu-

A serious, and what was for a time
Thought to be fatal accident, occurred
at the Plain Centre Mills, situated about
two and one-half miles north of Canton.
Last evening, shortly before six o'clock, a
belt connecting one of tue machines in
the establishment to the main shaft, clip
ped of anG the miller, Henry j.. SoInmer,
attempted, as he had successfully done
many times previous, to again put II on
the wheel. The main shaft was making
900 revolutions per minute when the at
tempt was made to get the belt on the
wheel. In some manner MIR. Sommer was
caught in the belt, and is unable to tell
just what happened until he found him
self lying on the floor OF the mill.
He was alone in the mill at the time the
accident occurred. When discovered he
was suffering intense pain, and for time
his life was despaired OF by the family.
DIR. Fraunfelter was summoned from Can.
ton, and careful examination ELECTED
the fact that the miller had sustained i'm
juries which will incapacitate him from
duty for at least two weeks. His hip was
badly dislocated, his arm terribly bruised
and he sustained other injuries of a more
or less serious nature. The physician
gave the injuries proper attention, after
which the injured man experienced great
relief, and has since been resting as quiet
ly as the nature of his injuries will permit.
