DESPERATE TRAMP.
Tie Holds n Mob at May with RevoIv-
ers and Escapes Arrest.


Findlay, o., May 3O.-An unknown
tramp demanded food at the home of
j. d. Kelly, residing mile west of
Benton Ridge, last evening. He was
ordered out of the yard and for an
swer began shooting at Mr.. Kelly,
who retreated to the house for
safety. A posse was formed at Ben
ton and started in pursuit of the
tramp. Marshal John Butt and Dep
uty w. T. Hughes, who were in the
lead, came suddenly on the stranger
in clump of bushes. They were
close enough to touch him, but he
opened fire and got away.
He was chased a mile up the rail-
road track, where he took off across
a field. He ran almost into the arms
of Dallas Greer, n farm hand, who
was compelled to flee before the fire
from the tramp's revolvers. The
fellow entered a barn and held the
mob at bay for half an hour, then
escaped again by dropping through
the floor and crawling out of n hole
in the foundation. He was wounded
in the head, but continued his fight
until within three miles of McComb,
where he eluded his pursuers. 1t is
reported that he attempted an as
sault on young woman near the
Putnam and Hancock county line.
