SHERIFF is CALLED
Neighbors Corral Negro Hobo In A
Lane And Hold Him Until Arrival

Thought Slightly
Demented

Wooster Sept. 23-Robert Ruff, col
ored, is in the county jail, having been
placed there early Friday morning by
Sheriff M. G. Miller, who made a hur.
ried trip to the home of Mr.. and Mrs
Adrian Shisler, three miles northwest
of Smithville, to get the man after
complaint had been telephoned to
Sheriff Miller that he Shisler family
and relatives had the man corralled
in a lane.
1t is thought that Ruff is slightly
demented. Sheriff Miller was told by
members of the Shisler family that
they will come to the probate court at
some arranged time and make af1l-
davit to have Ruff's mental condition
inquired into.
When Sheriff Miller reached the
Shisler farm he found that the Adrian
Shisler family and the members OF
other branches of the same family,
who live on several farms in the vi
cinity, had gathered in the lane, cut
ting off the advance or retreat of Ruff.
Sheriff Miller had no trouble secur-
ing possession Of the man, who came
with Sheriff Miller without resistance.
Ruff appeared at the Adrian Shisler
home early Thursday morning and
asked for something to eat. Mr.. and
Mrs. Shisler gave Ruff a big break.
fast. At the conclusion of his break
fast, Ruff refused to leave the house
Mr.. Shisler ordered him to go on
his journey. Ruff again refused and
he intended to stay where he was and
that if anything took place that did
not suit his fancy he would kill those
opposing him.
While Mr.. Shisler watched Ruff
Mrs. Shisler went to the telephone
and spread hue and cry to the neigh
bors, who soon arrived in a number
that brought Ruff to the realization
that he was not master of the Shislel
home. The men of the neighborhooC
soon had Ruff out of the house ant
| in the farm lane. Another telephone
message was sent to Sheriff Miller
who made a quick trip to the farm
and secured Ruff.
An examination by Sheriff Millel
showed that Ruff was not armed b!
either firearm or knife.
Friday morning Sheriff Miller tool
up the case with Probate Judge Wei
ser and arrangements were made t.
give Ruff hearing in the probat,
court at some time when the member
of the Shisler family can be in cour
to testify.
Ruff appears to be a man who'll,
without education.
