And Kicked and Beat
Him Severely.
Especial Correspondence,

Barberton, Dec. 16.--Tbere was a
fair sized riot here. Saturday night, as
the result of an assault OH Mr.. ED
Snyder, a Carroll st. butcher, by one
of two men who lad stolen hams from
In front of the shop. Mr.. Snyder
was stabbed In the right arm. The
wound bled profusely and was quite
deep.
All evening, Mr.. Snyder had noticed
two suspicious characters who remain
ed near his place of business, but had
paid no especial attention to their ac-
tions.
About 0:30 he left his shop, while he
crossed the street on an errand. While
he was gone the strangers entered the
place, one by one, and stole six hams.
AZ the last man was leaving Mr.. Snyder
returned and caught him. He asked
him "where lie was going" and tried
to get the hams away from the thief
The fellow resisted and drew knife
| lie made II lunye at Snyder, who
threw up his right arm, and caught the
blade between his wrist and elbow,
making q serious wound. In the scuf-
fe the stranger escaped and ran east
along the street, followed by n rapidly
increasing crowd OF Barberton citizens,
who were innignant and sought to
capture the stranger. The latter final
ly ran into the canal, where the water
was waist deep and attempted to hide
behind some bushes, but was pulled
from his hiding place by Mr. Snyder
and Officer Boerstler. The officer was
unable to protect his prisoner from the
crowd, who took him In charge and
beat and kicked him severely before he
could be secured again and taken to
jail.
Up to the present time no trace of
the other man has been found by the
BnrbertOn police. The prisoner who
gave his name and address cs Frank
Smith, st. Clair St. Cleveland, was
tried by the Mayor Monday morning,
pleaded not guilty, and was bound
over to Common Plens Court on the
charge of cutting with intent to wound.
Smiths bond was fixed at $500.
Mr.. Snyder's wound was attended
by DR.. A. II. Belford. and he was un-
able to appear In court Monday morn
ing. The prisoner. who Is evidently
a lew, and will give little or no ac-
count of himself, was brought to Ak
ron and lodged In the county Jail by
Marshal Ferguson Monaay morning.

What would You Think"

What would our citizens think if
they were to get up some morning,
and, walking on, discover several
large cracks whore the earth had
parted in the streets, and by look
ing down which they could soc
huge veins of granite or walls of
granite that parted also, and eleva-

They would think it strange
phenomenon, truly, and yet it is
what has been going on at Butte
