Horrible Experience Of Marion Wo-
man, Visiting Here, Who Meets
Strange Man In Hallway
Wednesday Night 7

Accosted by strange man hiding
in the recesses of an outdoor hallway
while returning to the house, Mrs.
Joseph Johnston of Marion, who is
the guest of her sisters, Misses Mary
and Florence Seymour, los West
Pleasant street, brushd past the in
truder with the words, "What are you
doing here?" only to hear, according
to her story, the report Of revolver,
and feel a bullet whiz through her
hair. She fell, recovered herself and
walked into the house where q ply
sician was summoned who found the
injury to be minor scalp wound, tri-
angular in shape, on the back of Mrs.
Johnston's head. This happened
Tuesday night at 7:45 o'clock.
Naturally, Mrs. Johnston was fright
ened and unstrung, but she was able
to describe the strange man as slen-
der in build, of medium height and at
tired in blue shirt. He was stand
ing near one of the doors in the hall
way. At first, Mrs. Johnston thought
it might be a delivery boy and then
the idea occurred to her that it was
her sister, at which she asked, 'Is
that you, Flo?" Perceiving that the
intruder was neither, she hastened
past him and was shot.
The report of the revolver was not
heard by the Misses Seymour, nor By
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark ]. Benoy, who re-
side across the street Mrs. Lester e.
Bennett, COL North Mulberry street,
who was sitting on her porch with
her baby, heard the shot, Mrs. John
ston's screams and the thud of her
fall. Frank Dickson, who resides
near by, also heard the sound of the
gun
| The injury to Mrs. Johnston's head
did not even require stitches. How
ever, the shock to her nervous system
was great. She has been in ill health
for some time and came to this city
to rest.
L
No explanation of the encounter
can be advanced by Mrs. Johnston,
save that her assailant was mentally
irresponsible. Neighbors have no
ticed the queer actions of a man who,
for several days, has driven up and
down Mulberry and Pleasant streets
| in his automobile. sometimes stopping
his machine and prowling around
through yards.
Policemen were summoned to the
scene and went over the ground care
fully. They could not locate the bull
let from the revolver, nor could they
find any traces of the intruder who
was supposed to have run across the
front lawn after firing the shot. The
investigation will be kept up, in the
hope of obtaining some clue or clues

As GubGrndtOFidI And Senator
iaI Candidates OF Parties
Congressman AShbrOOk Car.
rieS Mt. Vernon And
Knox County

Representing about so per cent of
the electorate Of both the Democratic
and the Republican parties, the vote
cast at the primaries Tuesday when
expression was made by ballot for
preference for state offices, U. s. SEN
ator, congressman, state senator and
county tickets, came very mucn as a
surprise to those who keep a close
tab on matters concerning elections
and who had estimated that only
about 25 per cent of the vote would
turn out.
The vote from country precincts
was larger than had been anticipated
on account Of the showers early Tues
day morning, a weather condition
which undoubtedly induced many
farmers to lay off work long enough to
go to the polls.
Tuesdays primary was the second
which has been held in Ohio for the
selection Of state nominees. The first
was in 1914 when the total Democrat
ac vote polled in Knox county was
1873, as against 1908 of this year.
Two years ago, Republican voters to
the number of 2,316 embraced their
voting privileges, while in 1916 this
was increased to 1880.
The Democratic vote of Tuesday is
slightly in excess of so per cent of
the party strength in this county,
while the Republican vote is just
about one-half of the normal turnout.
The larger Democratic showing this
year is attributed to the fact that
there were more contests for offices,
since in 1914 there were but two.
The opposition to the denomination
of former Governor James M. Cox
was more formal in nature than any
thing else, neither Martin nor Sandles
displaying any particular strength
The same was true in respect to Gov
ernor Willis.

inee for United States senator, re

Willis Horn of Orrville broke the

during the past two years.
Under the rule of rotation, the nom
ination was due Morrow county ant
the Democrats of that county pre-
sented Carl V. Beebe. There was ar
animated contest between the two
candidates. Beebe carried his owr
county by 639. The other three coun
ties went to Horn-Holmes by 1S9
Wayne by 1900 and Knox by SO. ant
