TRIES TO CARRY OFF GIRL

Madman Whips Three Men Who At* tempt to Restrain Him at Fullertown, O. Chardon, O. —Charge of assault and battery was made against Blaine Redding, thirty-two, after his 'arrest when, it is alleged, he tried a few nights ago to carry away Miss Ethel Springer, seventeen, from her home in Fullertown. Later the charge was withdrawn and he was adjudged to be insane. He was arrested only after having thrashed three men who tried to hold him. He was taken in charge by a deputy sheriff at his boarding house when kneeling in prayer. “I will marry Ethel Springer, no matter what happens," said Redding, as he left later in custody of Sheriff Ballard and Deputy Rhodes for the Newburg state hospital after being adjudged insane.
