Bee Is Saved.

Bee Is Saved.
MAssILLoN, O., Oct. 7.-At Dalton,
village north OF Massillon, an attempt
was made last night to lynch man
named Weimer. The rope was ad-

but cooler heads persuaded the mob to
spare his life. Weimer confessed that
his wife and daughter had tried to burn
the house which was owned by Edward
Houghton, proprietor OF the Dalton
pottery. Houghton had discharged
Weimer and the latter swore vengeance.
Dalton people are positive that Weimer
applied the match that burned the
business portion OF the village and rem
dered forty families homeless just
month ago. He all but confessed the
crime last night. Weimer will be held
for trial and if convicted of firing the
town will be lynched without delay.
