each hour the chimes give four notes;
at the half hour eight; at three-qua
tiers, twelve; and at four-qnarters,

hours is distinguished from that of
the quarters by the use of single tone
for each stroke of the hours, while for
the quarters different tones are used
on each stroke. The clock has been

Marengo, Aug. %. - Three masked
men captured Earl Wagner, the
eighteen-year- old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Wagner, at the Marengo Brick
and Tile Works about 10:30 o'clock
at night and tortured him in sew
eral ways. He was first gagged, then
stripped of his clothes, and when the
father and mother returned home at
midnight from a lodge meeting they
found the boy in this condition and
tied to a telephone pole. Just who
the night providers were is still mys-
tory, but the sheriff is conducting an
investigation.
The Wagners have been the victims
of night providers for the past two
years. Mr.. Wagner, the elder, is the
owner of the tile works, situated
abort two miles from here, Some time
aga he was one of the promoters Of
the proposed Marengo and Milford in
terurf an, which met with considerable
opposition from the farmers, and it is
said that since that time he has had
some enemies who sought underhand-

The Wagners have been attacked sew
e-al times, and the whole affair
seems to be a decided mystery
When the son was found last night,
he was in critical condition. Being
gagged he was unable to call for help
and stripped of his clothing on a night
that was comparatively cool, he was
chilled to the bone. No marks were
found on his body and he had evil
