COWARDLY ASSAULT,
A Gang of Young Ruflians At
tack q Defenseless Woman.

The hard times have turned loose upon
the community at large, a class Of people
whose chief delight in life seems to be to
frighten the other classes out of their
senses, or to engage In cowardly assaults
upon the defenseless. Tuesday after
noon about two o'clock Mr.. Streb residing
in the west end, drove to town leaving bis
vile at home alone. Az he drove from
his yard, Mr.. Streb noticed some seven or
eight young men In the yard of the house
on the opposite side Of the street, but as
there are frequently such groups he paid
no attention to them. Mrs. Streb was,
a. has been related, alone in the house.
About twenty minutes after Mr., Streb's
departure, seven young men, or boys
rather, entered the yard and asked for q
drink OF water, which was given them.
They then asked for ''some.
thing stronger" and upon Mrs.
Streb declaring that she had
nothing "BtronRer" to give them one of
the boys cried :"Knock HI out of her."
One Of the boys held the door open while
the other made a dive for Mira. Streb, and
srasped her by the throat and in the tus-
ale that ensued tore her dress badly about
the neck. Mrs. Streb tried to get away
from the rufilans and in the fray bit one
in the ear and the other in the arm, draw.
ing blood in both instances. The boys
let 60, and like the cowardIy ruff1ans they
were, made track in the direction Of
Buck Hill. Mrs. Streb alarmed the neigh
bors and search was instituted. bat
nothing has been seen OF the young hood,
lums since the escapsde. There is O
gang of these boys going about the coun'
try, and siIverware and henroosts are
likely to suffer while they are at large.

daughter, Mrs. Reed, on Housel street.
Mr.. Dewslt was the oldest resident ofCsn-
ton and save one, of the county, having
on the eighteenth Of July celebrated bis
ninety,forut birthday.
In 1903 Mr.Dewalt came with his parents
TO Canton, from Milbeim, Centre county,
Pennsylvania. His father was proprietor
Of the first holel In Canton.
Mr.. Dewalt was matchmaker by trade
but he was more interested In
horses than in watches, and often struck
some good bargains. He for q number Of
years served as constable in the city, but
has not engaged In active life for the past
twenty years, although his faeu ties were
unimpaired. 'liidc@ u nobf
He probably knew more about Canton
and It's growth, It's noted men andits gen.
eral history than any one man now living
In the city. ~ oe. ..-..sJ
Mr.. Dewalt was twice f6sfhsd, Infst to

passed her one hundredth birthday, while

Mr.. Dewalt was staunch Republican,
but not an intolerant one. He was lame
for many ears. .Hehelped draw the cannon
to Ft. Wayne during the war Of 1912, but
was never engaged In active war services.
However, there are services quite as
honorable and Distinguishing as those the
soldier renders, and those services Mr..
DewAlt was always ready In rendering.
He grew up with Canton and Cantonians,
and the city may we'll feel proud to num-

nothing more beautiful in science than
to hear any man candidly owning to
his ignorance. 1t is so little the habit
of men who cultivate knowledge to do
so-they so often have recourse to sub

than to a plain, manly declaration.

Vegetation itself seemed listless and

against the enforced activity.
The people on the big, vine-sheltered

walked restlessly up and down and re-

against such eXertion with degree of
smpatience that was remarkable in him.
