Seemingly Born to Be a Criminal.


The Leader few days ago made
mention of the fact that Fred Brown,
a colored boy about foruteen years of
age, was locked up in the county Jail
on the charge of assault with intent to
kill. The boy was brought in by a
constable from Barlow after having
mad hearing before Squire A. H.
Benedict.
Apphcation has been made to admit
the boy to bail until Common Pleas
Court convenes and the Justice has
sent in some information regarding
the case. Probate Judge Rood We'd
nesday afternoon made out the neces-
sary bond and sent it out to Vincent
for the parties to sign, and if properly
signed and returned the boy will be re-
| leased
In Mr.. Benedicts letter he says
1.-THE evidence showed him to be lit
tie wolf" He states the case as he
understands it occurred, that Brown
decoyed the Francis boy into wheat
! field a hundred yards or so from the
road with the promise of showing him
a birds nest. When the little fellow
would go NO further he turned upon
him, throwing him down and telling
him he was going to kill him, and
pushing his head into the dirt he got
upon him with his knees, struck him
in the mouth with his fist and choked
him. At this time two men happened
along and heard faint cries in the di-
rection of the field, and thinking that
a child might be lost up in the field
they called to 1t, when Brown ran
| away. The little Francis boy, bruised
and bleeding, came running to them
wanting to find some place to hide
from the little fiend.
Soon after this another man came
along In buggy and Brown came out
o. the field and got into the rig with
him to go to the home of an uncle 1t
is claimed that he made admissions to
this man which are of an incriminat-
ing character He is reported to have
tried to decoy another litUle boy
around straw stack TO see a rabbits
nest and when the little boy would not
go he assaulted him with club. He
is also reported TO have beaten anoUh-
er boy in the same neighborhood
The boy seems to have no fear of
anything and it is not likely that any
form of punishment would scare him
into being good, as he seems TO care
for nothing.
His motive for decoying children
away where he may have them in his
power has not been expressed, and it
can only be guessed at. 1t is said that
he claims another boy did the deed for
which he is now confined

Oil Notes.
YRsTERpAY,s MARKET.

The Black well is stl.. keeping up it's
production and IS being pumped dur
ing the day time.
The well on the Nice lot is just at
the top of the sand and good flow Of
gas has been encountered. Drilling at
night has been suspended and the tool
dresser's shop removed. The well at 8
o'clock Wednesday morning was down
1890 feet The prospects for a good
well are very flattering,
The we'll on the Deets lot being
drilled by the Morton Company is
down about $50 feet Preparations are
being made by this company to start
the shallow wells TO pumping on the
Claggett and Waller farms. The
pumping station on these leases was
down last fall. Two large tanks are
fun of oil and it is of the lubricaung
brand, worth about IS barrel,
The well ON the Hawes farm has not
been tuDed yet, but it is still showing
up first class. It has been flowing at
intervals ever since it was shot and
looks like it will make between % and
so barrels.
Several rumors have been afloat as
to big strikes in Winterseit and Senec-
aville, but nothing definite could be
obtained before we go to press.-Re-

Ohio Sunday School Convention.

The fortieth annual Sunday School
June 6, and with 712 delegates
present representing rs out of 88
counties. Owing to change in the
basis OF representation, the delegate
attendance was smaller than chat OF
other years, but 1t was regarded by far
the most representative in the history
Of the Association. Never before in
Ohio have there been gathered such an
array Of county officers.
The Epworth Memorial church,
which has a seating capacity of 1900,
was filled to overlooking at almost ev-
cry session of the convention; and the
special conference for pastors, preach
ers and primary workers we're enthus-
Iastic and largely attended E. o. Ex-
cell, of Chicago, H., conducted the
music.
The report of the general secretary
was very encouraging, and it revealed
the state to be more thoroughly or
ganized than ever before.
The program provided for Round
Tables on Sunday School management,
and county and township work. This
feature was new one, in the state
convention, and it proved to be most
valuable.
The evening addresses presented by
Rev. C. W. Gullette, of Dayton; Rev
w. c. Thompson, D. D., Oxford, and
Rev. John Henry Barrows, D. D., of
Oberlin, were strong deIiverances.
The financial problem was squarely
and heroically met, and for the first
time in many years, the convention
closed without debt, fact which will
greatly encourage work in the state.
The moment of most intense interest
in the convention was reached on
Thursday when Mr.. Marion Lawrence,
who for ten years has so efficiently
filled the Office of general secretary,
announced his acceptance of the office
of General Secretary of the Interna-
tBonal Association, to which he had
been recently elected. The convention
was greatly stirred by this announce
ment,, which called forth many brief
and tender addresses in which was re-
Vealed something of the great esteem
in which Mr.. Lawrence is held by the
State OF Ohio. While the convention
exceedingly regretted the loss of its
popular secretary, 1t rejoiced with
him over his new honors and felt a
pride in contributing its beloved sec
retary TO the international work.
Suitable resolutions were presented
and were ordered engrossed for pre-
sentatlon to Mr. Lawrence.
Washington county carried off the
honors, having 81 per cent out OF a
possible 100 retaining the convention
prize banner which has been in poses
sion OF the county officers the past
year.
Marietta secures representation on
the Executive Committee in the per-
SON of one of its prominent business
men, Mr.. C. F. Strecker. at present
treasurer of the County Association.
The new officers elected were Rev.

Well, duty is duty-she can mlscon-
strue him if h will, laugh at him If it
so pleases her, but lie will have his
say, and just tell her plainly and Sc
riously that she ought to go to Oak
ford.
With this resolution uppermost in
his mind he mounts the large, fiat
doorstep and pulls the bell. As a rule,
when the whole family are at home,
the hall door stands open to admit the
summer sunshine-now it is closed.
and Robert Champley notes with a
sigh that it badly wants a coat OF
paint.
"a man has no right to build such
a house as this, and imPoverish his
family by so doing, unless he has
means sufficient to leave them com
fortably provided for" he muses. impa-
tiently. This house must be a white
elephant to Mrs. Widen, n yet she
cannot bear the idea of letting it, and
moving into a place more suited to her
means! Well, 1 can ~sympathize with
her weakness, for, though the country
round looks upon her late husband in
the light of a selfish spendthrift, l
dare say she still contemplates him as
a departed saint" Then, no answer
having come to his summons, he rings
again, wondering vaguely at the great
stiffness which pervades the house
Presently, however, that stiffness is
broken by the sound OF heavy bolts be-
ing withdrawn, ending with a grating
turning of the iron key; then the door
is opened. and Susan stands revealed.
L knowed it vas you, sir. through
peeping beside the window-blind," she
explains with a slow broad smile, cor
else 1 shouldn't ha' opened"
Quite right, SUSAN" agrees Mr..
Champley, stepping int the hall with
out waiting for an invitation-'quite
right to be cautious. 1 want to speak
to Miss Shell for a moment. Is she
in?"
"Eh?" asks Susan, putting her hand
behind her ear, and assuming a list
en1nS attitude-for she is a little hard
OF hearing, n the question is uttered
rapidly.
Robert Champley again expresses his
wish for an interview with Shell, and,
what is more, the old woman's eyes
being liked steadily on him as he makes
his demand. he feels himself growing
red as he makes it. When Susan's
face finally relaxes into a broad smile
he feels that it would afford hin IN
finite relief to box her ears.
Miss Shelf" the old woman repeats,
still smiling at the joke. Her isn't
here-her went away two hours ago."

mands her visitor, looking b~ewildered.
