A CASE OF ABDUCTION.

Two large men drove into this city
in buggy Thursday afternoon, and
after making some enquiries with ref
erence TO certain citizens, induced a
man named Doty to get into the buggy
with them, after which they drove out
of town at a lively gait, going toward
Neutral. Ii transpired later that these
men came here for the purpose of cap
turing Doty and a man named Beale
who formerly lived here, but now re.
sides in Neutral. II seems that Beale
and Doty have been acting as spies for
the prohibition element, and recently
informed on some Weir City joint
keepers. 1t is the superstition that the
kidnappers are connected with the
liquor interest and have undertaken to
deal with the informers in their own
way. Another report is that Beale
and Doty, after filing information
against certain jointists, went to them
and offered to compromise for com.
pensation, or in other words compound
a felony, and that they are 10 be taken
to Columbus, there placed in Jail and
stand trial for the above Oflrnse.
The matter is quite serious from any
standpoint, and the outcome will be
looked forward 10 with interest by all
parties. While there was very little
sympathy expressed on the streets for
the abducted men, there was a general
anxiety to know what had become Of
them or what would be done with
them. The kidnappers told several
parties here that they intended 10 go
by way of Neutral and take Beale
along with them. 1t looks as il the
whole business had been pre- arranged
in a spirit of revenge, and that there
is an organization in the county Of
men who propose TO take the law in
their own hands.

would become convinced that Nc.

a barn than he has for missionaries.
