Cleveland, O., Sept. 2S.-Just before
dark Sunday night Edward Wald,
ship carpenter residing at So Mulberry
street, narrowly escaped lynching at
the hands of an Infatuated mob of west
side citizens. Valid came home under
the influence of liquor, quarreled With
his wife and finally struck her. The
14-ycar-old son Edward seized his ia
theirs arm and entreated him to quiet
down., whcreupon the brute became en-
ragged and threw the boy down the stair
way leading to the street, distance
of 20 feet. The little fellow screamed
for help and rolled out of the open
doorway into the street writing in
commissions and frothing at the mouth.
DIR. c.. A. Turner was summoned to at
tend the boy, and crowd quickly COL
lected to revenge the brutal outrage.
Rev. John McHale, Catholic priest,
was hastened to the scene and admin
istered the last rites of the church to-
the dying boy. Meanwhile the crowd
increased to a mob, which was goaded
into fury by the sight Of the helpless
child struggling in commissions on the
pavement, until the clamor for revenge
swelled to IN ominous roar. An i'm
promptu delegation of 40 forced their
way into the house to drag out the in
human father, and others were dis
patched for a rope. VALID had locked
himself in bedroom. The door was
broken open, and the brute dragged
into the street, fighting desperately.
The police arrived before The rope APP
peared and thus intercepted lynching.
The mob gave battle to the police, de-
termined not to allow Valid to escape
them. During the scrimmage the pris-
oner broke loose from those who were
holding bin, and ran down an alley
toward the river. The mob was close Mt
his heels and when the fugitive reached
the river, knowing that his chance for
life was less than even If captured.

the Cuyagho and was drowned. His
body has not been recovered. The boy
will die and the wife's injuries may also
prove fatal.

to the ears of the militiamen. The fire
was returned, the heavy ring of the
Springfield rife sounded on the air, and
