MURDEROUS ROBBERS At
LITTLE MOUNTAIN, OHIO
THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MEM
BEERS OF THE GANG THAT
ROBBED CHARDoN BANK.
THRoNGs OF ARMED FARMERS
ARE SEARCHING THE WOODS FOR
THEM SINCE THEIR ATTACK
ON JOHN LEMONS HOUSE.

LITTLE MOUNTAIN, Ohio, April 5.
One hundred or more men, armed with
shotguns and rifles, are securing the
woods and fields in this section to-day
for three robbers who riddled the home
of John Lemon with bullets last night.
Lemon, who is IS and a bachelor,
lives one mile cast of Little Mountain,
on the Knob road. A Mr.. Smith, wife
and Mr.. futile, neighbors, were at
Lemons home about 1920 O'Clock last
night, playing cards, when Lemon went
to the door in answer to a knock.
Three men stood back from the glare
of light which came through the open
door. One asked Lemon to sell them
wine. He CURLY answered that he had
o n to sell, and stepped back into the
house, closing the door.
Immediately three shots rang out and
the panel of the door was shattered.
One bullet ripped through Lemons
coat between his arm and his body.
More shots followed in rapid succession,
the bullets crashing through doors and
windows, Breaking pictures or the walls
and smashing the chimney of the lamp
on the table where the card players had
been sitting.
Lemon and his guests were unarmed
and made a hasty exit via a rear door,
climbering owe fences and through
fields to a n~eighboring house. At day
break Lemon returned to his house to
find his household effects turned topsy
turvy and 800, all the money he had,
missing.
Meanwhile the country for miles
around had been aroused, and farmers
turned out with their dogs and guns.
1t is believed here that the three men
are the u~ncaptured members of the
gang that robbed the Chardon bank,
Wednesday night. This place is four
miles east of Chardon. 1t is supposed
that the robbers lay hidden in some
barn or in n of the many thickets
and gu.lies in this section all day yes
terday.
The country is now thoroughly arous-
ed that there is good reason for be-
lieving that the men will be captured.
The searchers are in a dangerous
temper and will not hesitate to shoot
down the desperadoes on sight, If they
make any move to resist.
CHADRCN, o., April 5.-Two men,
arrested at Willoughby on suspicion
of being connected with the robbery
of the Chardon bank, were brought
here to-day in irons. Blood was found
on papers carried by n of the men.

PARKERSBURG, nv. Va, April s.
Word was received here to-day from
Calhoun county, near the Clay county
line, stating that a Mrs. Morris had
burned her infant child to death in the
most cruel tanner.
She wanted to he rid of the child,
and held its feet in the fire until they
were burned off. then putting its head
in the flames, she held it there till
the child was dead.
Horrible and improbable as the
story sounds, it is said to be we'll au-
thenticated, and there is no doubt
that it is true.
The child was about a year old, and
had worried it's mother by crying.
The region is remote and no word
has been received as to whether she
was arrested or not.
At Minora, Calhoun county, a young
woman named Siers recently gave
birth to a baby which was claimed to
have been born dead, and was buried.
Rumors have arisen charging infanti-

cording to all accounts, the enterprise

1t was said the company would be
formed under the laws of New Jersey
for the purpose of conducting a gen.
eral freight and transportation bust
ness throughout the United States, that
the company would hold a controlling
interest in all of the great railway
systems and that the management OF
the road would be vested in the con-
trolling company. According to the
proposition each road would preserve
its own identity and corporate exist
ence, but the new company would con-
troll the affairs of all. BY this policy
it was claimed large Sums of money
could be saved as a result of econ
omics in management and the stoppage
of rate cutting. The anne of men like
