BECOMING EPIDEMIC.
Down at GAINESVILLE Saturday outraged
citizens tried TO lynch man who had as
saulted young girl, and nov comes a
dispatch from Wooster that indicates
tb at hanging or some other violent
m easure is rsqui cd in Ohio. The woos-
ter special says:
"An indictment was found by the
grand jury against Dsnitl Currar of
Summit county on the charge Of rape
CO mmitted upon Jessie Kisner, who
lives between Sterling and Easton.
Sheriff Mccoy started last evening at
O'Clock and landed his man in the county
Jail this morning at 9 O'Clock. Currsn,
who resides Just over the Wayne county
Il Inc, works at Barberton and is man Of
81, but looks somewhat older. His
victim, Jessie Kisner, is a girl Of a
years, large and well matured for her
age, and was the principal witness
against him before the grand jury. Cur.
ran admits having had criminal relations
With the girl, but claims it was with her
consent. AS the age of consent in Ohio
is 10 years, the gilr's consent would be
no defense to the charge against Currsn.
He also makes other duplicating state
ments."

KILLED AT ENSLEY
Negro Shot by Unknown Person Affair
Shrouded in Mystery

About 6:3O o'clock yesterday morning a
negro man was shot and killed at Ensley,
his body being perforated with eight bull
let's The shooting is supposed to have oc-
Cured at the furnace boilers, the negro
stopping there on his way to the steel plant,
where ne was employed as a helper. In
some unexplained way he and a young
white man who attends to the boilers, got
into trouble and the shooting followed. A
flash from a pistol was seen, but no one
could say positively who did the shooting,
though it is said that the dead negro in
his dying statement declared that a white
man shot him. VIII Scott and another man
named Duncan were arrested, but Coroner
Dallas, who went out to Ensley, says they
proved an alibi and were released.
The affair Is shrouded in mystery and no
one really knows who did the shooting.
