GAGGED AND BOUND.
Miss Mauds Osborne, of Custom,
Has a Frightful Experience with
Two Masked Men.
Burglars Enter Her Room and Cru
ely Mistreat Her.
THE FIENDS ARE UNKNOWN.

Last Sunday morning, at Custom, Meade
county, Miss Maude Osborne was found
bound and gagged in her room. Miss
Osborne is an lSyear-old daughter OF Mr..
and the particulars of the outrage are
about as follows: About three o'clock in
the morning Miss Osborne says she was
awakened by noise and saw a masked
man leap through a window into her
room. She screamed and attempted to
leap out through the window when she
was met by another disguised man, who
placed his hand over her mouth aud VIC
lently threw her to the floor. She was
then gagged and securely bound hand
aud foot and tied down on her bed, the
rope being wound several tim"s around
her neck. They then began search for
money.
In an adjoining room Mr.. Osborne and
his son were sleeping. They were not
disturbed by the scream and scufile in
the young lady's room and for this reason
Mr.. Osborne thinks that they were drug
ged. The burglars entered their room
and from their clothing took s. in
silver. This was all the money they OBJ
tanned and nothing else was missing.
The rope with which they bound Miss
! Osborne was taken from the undertakes
establishment, which they had visited
before entering the residence.
All the time the searching of the rooms
was going on the young lady was lying
on the bed an unwilling and silent wit.
ness. After satisfying themselves that
they could get no more money they left
the house by the same window through
which they had entered.
They attempted no violence to the
young lady further than to bind and gas
her, though as they passed her on their
way out one sugg, sted that they kill her
This was strenuously objected to by the
other and the dispute was continued out
side the window
The description given OF the two mer
is rather meager, as they were deeply
disguised and wore masks. Miss Osborne
says that one man was large and tall
while the other was smaller and rather
short.
The news OF the outrage soon spread
and searching parties started to hunt the
offenders. 1t was learned that two men
were put off the Texas train Saturday
night at Rock Haven These same men
boarded the train at Stephensport Sun.
day night and got off at Cloverport. They
were suspected and officers passed down
the road Monday in search of them
They were found in this city Tuesday
morning by Detective John r. DeHaven
and interviewed. One of them is known
here, having worked here laying brick
last fall. Their route from Rock Haven
has been discovered to have been through
Brandenburg, Paynesville and Union
Star. They were in Louisville broke and
were trying to get here, where they had
friends and could get work.
| They were not arrested, as it would
have been impossible for them to have
been in Custom at the time the house

hope that it would injure Mr.. Gross but
instead il defines his position in the last
U. s. Senatorial contest exactly as Gross
has always said it was. Workman "in-

The Senatorial canvass last week in
Hancock was a continuation of the ova-
ton that Gross received at Lewisport
Everywhere they went Gross was receiv-
ed with enthusiasm. He made many
friends while Richardson lost correspond
ingly. The break that Richardson made
at Lewisport in attacking Josh Powers
was his mistake of the campaign. He
would gladly have said nothing more
about it, but Gross was too good a poll
tician not to call him to time on every
occasion, and he was compelled to repeat
his abuse to the offense of the Hancock
people and his own detrm' mt.
