Citizens of Kansas Town Assaulted by a
Mysterious Unknown.
1t is believed that there is in Leoti. Kan, a
reproduction OF the Jekyll and Hyde theory in
one OF the citizens For a long time the peo-
pie have been puzzled over the periodical ap-
pearance of demon. His form is slight and
his carriage good, but he takes pleasure in
Suddenly striking any one who may be near
him alone with a heavy cane. which he always
carries in his hand
Those who have seen his face say it bears the
imprint OF most malignant rage whenever he
strikes, and his whole action is that of per-
son who takes delight in causing suffering.
These attacks became SO frequent that much
comment was excited, and strict watch is be-
ing kept to ferret out the mysterious person if
possible.
Leotl is such a small town that every one
hvlng IN 1t is known, and it is impossible for a
stranger to have remained there for the length
OF time over which the attacks have occurred
without some one knowing of it. As there is
no stranger in tho town it is believed that the
person Is either a disguised resident or man
who has the power OF changing his appearance.
