TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN OHIO,
Two Children Murdered and Their.
Bodies Thrown in a Brush Pile.

Two Children Murdered and Their
Bodies Thrown i'll a Brush Pile.
PAULDING (O.), Nov. 5.--A most ap-
palling murder was discovered here this
morning. Two children of Samuel Good.
living three miles north of town, were
found in brush pile murdered, and an
attempt had been made to burn the
bodies. The girl, aged 6, was decapitated
and disemboweled, and the boys throat
was cut from ear TO ear and his head
nearly severed from his body. The boy
is 8 years old.
Inc children left home at o'clock yes-
tefday. Az P. NJ. searching party was
organized and searched all mig ht, and at
O'Clock this morning the bodies were
found. They presented' most horrible
spectacle.
The news of the affair spread rapidly
and soon hundreds OF people were on the
scene. Sheriff Staley was among the
number, and arrested Charley Hart,
nelghbors boy, who was at once sus-
pected, and the peoplefof the neigbbo
mood are firm in thes conviction of his
guilt. Young Hart says he cannot read
or write, and does not know his age, aud
Is very nervous.
The bodies were found within three
fods OF young Harris home, and about
half mr1e from the ehiidren's home.
Ihe little boys boots were found in the
grass short distance from the bodies.
Their little hands were tied together with
piece of tarred rope attached to a billet of
wood, resembling rough-hewn pump
handle.
one of the grounds of suspicion is that
when the bodies were found the boy dis
charged his gun and ran to his home in
an excited manner. He was one of the
searching party, and was not far distant
when the children were found.
HART IN DANGER OF BEING LYNCHED.
NANwERT (O.). Nov. 5.-As soon as
Hart was taken to the PauIding iaiI. a
mob OF 300 10 800 men organized to hang
the prisoner at once, but were dissuaded
on pleas that the chances were largely in
favor OF the boys innocence, and that the
guilty party was still at large. 1t was
evident that this argument would hold
the crowd off only until night came on.
Tho Sheriff watched his opportunity to
spirit the prisoner away to the iail at
this place, distance of thirty miles. 1t
is currently reported tonight that the
mob IS coming from Paulding into Van
vert County in such numbers that it
cannot be resisted by the authorities
here.

tween the A. 2. a. and the regular politi-

The only possible basis for the story is
that Colonel Simons of the Third Regi-
ment ordered Company ID on duty to-
night and Company A tomorrow for the
purpose OF guarding the armory. The
order was made on the ColonePs own re-
sponsibility. Under the law, if the mill

be on the written call of the Mayor and
Sheriff, who must first exhaust all their
means to preserve the peace.
