bered twelve or fifteen. Feeling In the
nefghborhood, which has been divided
regarding the classification of Hall, is
likewise divided over the assault.
Seized Under Blanket.
Details Of the assault obtained from
q friend Of the Hall family are that the
party of young men drove, first to the
home of Halls parents, where they
discharged a volley of firearms, and
asked for Raymond. The elder Hall
told the party that Raymond was at
his home, a short distance away, and
the automobiles drove in that direc-
ton. They met Raymond on the road
coming toward his fathers house. In
dicating that they were out for a
treat" from the groom, Hall returned
to his home with them and brought
out the cigars. While in the act Of
shaking hands with one Of the boys,
another smothered him with blanket
thrown over his head from behind, and
threw him into one Of the cars. All
drove rapidly away.
Left in Overalis and Shirt.
The details Of what happened later
could not be learned. except that Hall
is quoted as saying that he was taken
to Marietta, daubed with paint and
grease, and left on the bridge clad In
his undershirt and overalls. Whether
he was forcibly undressed and the
paint was applied to his skin could not
be learned. He walked home from the
bridge, distance Of seven or eight
miles. The automobiles came to the
Hall home about o'clock. 1t was
1880 when Hall reached home.
In the meantime Mrs. Hall. the
bride, alarmed by her husbands alb
sence and not knowing where he was,
set up an alarm that resulted in either
a member Of the family or friend tele-
phoning Sheriff Edgar from Minerva.
The officer was reused out Of bed
about 1890. He was told that a posse
had Kidnapped Hall and was asked to
come and search for him. The officer,
believing it was joke said so. NO,
it's no joke" he was told. He did not
go out on the search, still thinking it

Draft Case Has Caused Feeling.
Feeling regarding the draft classifi-

many of the people Of the neighbor-

was unjust. There has been much talk
and feeling openly expressed in the
neighborhood. On the other hand
there are some in the neighborhood
who believe the classification just, and
that Hall was entitled to exemption.
Hall was first classified by the dis
trict board in Glass 2. Appeal was made
to the board, and he was reclassified in
Glass 1. Still another appeal was
made to the board in his behalf by his
father, who filed affidavits in behalf
Of his son. The result was the district
