died Lemons House With Lead.
fBy the Associated Press.

Little Mountain, Ohio, April 5.-A
large posse of farmers, all armed with
shotguns and accompanied by dogs, to-
day searched the surrounding country
for three men who last night riddled the
house of John Lemon with bullets. When
the Lemon family were entertaining
some neighbors three men, supposed to
be members of the gang that robbed the
Chardon Bank Wednesday night, raped
at the door of the Lemon home and asked
for food and drink. Upon being refused
the strangers drew revolvers and began
to fire rapidly into the house. One bull
let ripped through Lemons coat between
his arm and his body. More shots fol-
lowed in rapid succession, the bullets
crashing through doors and windows,
breaking pictures and lamps. Lemon and
his guests were unarmed and all beat a
hasty exit by a rear door, clambering
over fences and through fields to "a
neighboring house.
At daybreak Lemon returned to his
house to find his household effects turn
ed topsy turvey 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 Subsequently many of the farm
ers who joined in the search for the
marauders returned to their homes with
out having found any trace Of the trio
1t is feared the men have escaped.
