SOI VICTIM OF VICIOUS ATTACK Greenville, Ohio. May I—A mysterious slugger attacked Wesley McClear 14-year-old hoy on the McClear farm southwest of Greenville, Friday ulghl. About 8 o’clock the boy went out to feed and care for a small pet lamb, not returning within a short time, TUs fat iter went out to see what was detaining him and fouud his son lying on tlie ground, unconscious, his clothes were slashed 4*l deut by a sharp instrument, presumably a knife. Ho picked tho boy up and summoned a Greenville physician and one from West Manchester, who worked with him three hours Itefore he was revived. The lad bad evidently been struck across the hack of the head, at the base of tile skulk with a blunt weapon possibly a club, and the immediate response on the part of tin: due tots mav hive died. Thu young lad was uiablo to tel! anything übou* the attack outside of the fact that jin; as he .topped from the porch he was struck, and then everything went ula k. It is iHissible that the young lad may have ran iutiFu gang of thieves, who 'were intending to pillage the farm, but this robbery theory is blasted, by the appearance of his tii/gpe.-. Young McClear wthre heavy overalls, and these garments were tipped and cut in feiuish fashion, hut stranfikly there were no scratches, uts or mart, of any nature 01/ the lad's body. During the past few days. McClear stated that he Iras noticifjl evidence that prowlers have heeji in his barn,, and it may he tJs.it the attack was made l,y some or persons who have been making their sleeping quarters in McCtear’B barn Htjwever the clothes and the nature of the is au 1 lend to the belief that the attack was the workings of‘a deranged mind, and i! may he liiat a lunatic prowler U at laige in the south part of the county. fc) Drake County authorities are completely baffled by the atlaek, but will maintain stiiet viliglance lines in Hie attack grea for the next few days.
