was amended to make the number nine and
that the tress and assistant treasurer be
added to the committee as members ex-

HORRIBLE CRIME.
Young Boy and Girl Murdered
and MutiIated.
Girl Evidently Outraged and the Boy
Killed to Prevent Detection,
Two Suspects Jaied and Barely Kept from
HANDS Of Excited Citizens.

PAULDISG, o., Nov. 5.-Georga and
Nellie Good, aged 8 and respectively,
children of Samuel Good, who lives about

afternoon the children we're playing in the

nearby wood. They failed to return and a
searching party was organized.
The bodies were 10 brush heap The
girls head bad been pounded to pulp, her
throat cut and she had been disembowelled.
The boys head was nearly severed from
The body, which was terribly mangled The
bodies were tied together with tarred rope
and thrown into the brush, which was af
terward fired, but owing to the heavy rain
was too damp to burn and only blackened
the bodies.
But one theory is advanced as to the
cause of the crime and that is that the little
girl was outraged and her companion killed
to prevent his telling the awful tale.
Sheriff Staley arrested Charles Hart, aged
-, who resides near the Good home, ON
,uspicion. Hart Is an illiterate boy and by
some considered insane. His arrest was
,ue to his strange action. Leo Cain, 3
aegro, 81 years, who has been companion
Of Hart, was arrested and jailed.
Paulding was quickly filed with men
'alking wildly of lyrching the arrested per-
IONS. Judge Shook and leading citizens
made an effort to quiet the mob by deliver
ing numerous speeches ON the street. At 3
this afternoon bloodhound was sent to the
scene. The attitude of the mob continued
10 grow more and more threatening and the
prisoners were quietly sent to Van Vert for
safe keeping.
