Massillon, March 1O.-North Law
renee, a mining town west of here, vas
the scene Of an interesting man hunt this
morning which almost terminated in a
lynching bee. A rope had already been
procured and the covering wretch upon
whom the mob wished to wreak its ven
geance was led to suitable tree, when
cooler heads arrived an prevailed upon
the infuriated miners and citizens to re-
consider their action.
The object of the mob's fury was an
Assyrian peddler named Thomas Mosey.
He applied at the home of X. r. Pollock
and found Mrs Pollock alone. She in
formed Mosey that she did not care TO
buy any Of his ware, but the foreigner
refused to 60. Grasping heavy poker,
Mrs. Pollock undertook to force the ped
dler to leave the house, when Mosey
drew a revolver and threatened her.
Hearing Mrs. Pollock's screams, neigh
bors ran to her assistance.
Mosey escaped, but was soon over
taken by throng Of angry citizens and
severely handled. His Captors were
finally persuaded from their intent to
nang the offender. Mosey was brought
here in charge of Constable Hiram Kel-
Ter. Mosey was arraigned upon the
charge ofcarrying a revolver and pleaded
guilty. He was fined S25 and costs.

Minnie Drumm, seventeen year old
Canton girl, was brought to Canton Fri
day night by police officer from Salem
and placed in the city prison. The girl
tells story Of her experience in Salem
which is to the effect that about month
ago she, in company with a young girl
named Bott, from this city, was induced
to go to that CITY, being told that she
could have work as cook at house
Of Minnie Hamilton, who is known in
Canton as Eta Lahm. The Drumm girl

and she claims she tried to get away, but
could not. She finally became sick and

back home, but she fatty refused, saying
that she could make better living away

pecially the mother, and from that time
they have disowned her.

Farmers Claim Delay at the City
Scales John Leininger Interviewed.
Farmers who bring hay to Canton
complain that they are oftentimes de-
layed about the city scales. they are
obliged to have their hay weighed there
and they object to waiting unnecessarily.
Louis Kasey, farmer residing north of
the city, said Wednesday to a News Dem
ocrat man that at various times he has
been compelled to wait, when those in
charge Of the scales at the Central engine
hopse were engaged in playing cards.
He did not feel that this was quite right.
John Leininger, who attends TO the
scales, was seen Thursday and said;
"When ain at the engine house, no one
has TO wait, but l cannot be there all the
time When the market house Is built,
the market master will do the Weighing,
ana he will be there all the time. Every
fireman at the Central is authorized TO
weigh hay and do not think any one
has ever refused to do so when asked, un-
less Ii was Immediately after run TO a
FIRE and they were engaged In unhitohing
and getting in readiness for another call.
II the farmers request their hay
weighed and are then delayed, would be
glad TO haze the matter reported 10 me

SOUGHT THEIR FORTUNES
And After Three Years Of Searching
Find Them at Cripple Creek.
CFrom the Cleveland Leader }

Alliance, o., March 12 Three years
Ago several Germans who had been resid-
gnts of this city for number Of years
went to Colorado and began digging for
gold in the Cripple Creek district. A
mining company was formed here among
their friends and money furnished them
for their board. The companys claims
have shown promising results and recent
ly they refused 500, 900 for their prop
Brty.
A letter from Cripple Creek yesterday
said that John HARLAN and Abe Abeglan,
who have been working several claims
independent Of the company, had made a
big strike on the famous Squaw Noun
tain, near the Independence mines. As
says of the mineral ran as high as 81, 900
per ton in gold, and the fortunate owners
Of the mine were getting ready to come
home and get their families. The lucky
find has made the poor Germans indie.

CANTON'S POPULATION.
Local Statisticiaus Figuring ON It
The Highest Estimate 3S.S29
and the Lowest 3S,047.

The question as to Canton's population
is now agitating the brain of some OF
our local statisticans, and number
Of them have been figuring on IL. The
figures 40 not shoot wide Of the mark
the lowest being s,O47 and the highest
3S, 500.
One Of the best statistieians in the
state, who lives outside Of canton, says
that Canton has population Of over
38, 500. This is based on the vote and
school census Of 1896. This estimate
would make an average growth of 1000
year since 1892, and ii Is n very CON
seryatiye estimate, considering the num-
or OF manufacturing establishments that
have moved 20 Canton since 1899 and the
number OF Canton industries which have
doubled their capacity since the above
