WIXAJIAC, Jan. 10. Special. Excitement In the vicinity of Winamac runs hi&h from the brutal and inhuman treatment that Mrs. Mattie. No, wife of Lewis J. Noe, a gardener living one-half mile north of town, has of late received at the hands of her husband. Mr. Noo at one time was one of the county's most prominent citizens, his wife being the daughter of ex-Treasurer Jacob Byers, h himself having been elected a number of times to the office of county surveyor. Some years ago he commenced drinking to excess, as a result of YThich within the last year he had been adjudged Insane and for a Fhort time Incarcerated In the Long Cliff asylum at Logansport. He stayed there but a short time, however, th officers of the institution pronouncing him more devilish than insane. Since his return he has continued to drink and been more inhuman and brutal In the treatment of his wife and family than ever before. During the last month he has carried his meanness on with such a high hand he has become unbearable to his neighbors and last niwht .1. M. Conn came to this place and tiled the proper affidavit, the result of which (Jardener Noe languishes within the county Jail. When thv matter was brought before the authorities it was learned that for th laM two davs that h has spent his ntir tiiiit within the saloons and his rights in abusing his wife. Yesterday morning while engaged in whipping his wife, his driest daughter undertook to assit her mother, when h- turru-d on li-r and with a club gave. h-r a. hot hase for a full half mile, several times striking the child and at cne time he knocked her to the ground. This was seen by Neighbor Krebs. wli came to the rescue of the child and whik the inhuman father was engaged in aquarr"d with Krebs the child escaped to Neighbor Peiper's, where, she is now lying at the point of death from exhaustion and injuries from the club. List nieht neighbors, who had heard the streams of the family, gathered about the X"e residence, where they found Mis. Nc seated in a (hair with her ba.be in her arms, it being the thirteenth child brn to thm, eleven of whni are living, while the unnatural father was amusinc himself by slapping his poor wife in the face with his open hand, striking her first with the right hand and throwing her head to its natural position with a return blow with the left. Not satisfied with this fiendish treatment. h- would size her by the nose with his l.ft hand and punch her in the eyes with the stiffened foretlnger of his right until hr eyes lecame so swollen and discolored that she now looks bs if -h had just finished a four-round bout with r prize-fighter. Tixi.iy when Prosecutor Stcis called at the Noe farm to learn the particulars of the case he found the following whitecap notice posted In a conspicuous place In the rear end of th garden which read thus: "Lewis N'ie. you have been in the habit of coming home drunk and trying to kill your wife and family long enough. We are going to stop it. We intend to watch you and if this notice does not stop you. yen will be taken out and horsewhipped, and if that is not sufficient we will then swing you up to a tree. Pl-ase stop or you will be brutally punished. WHITE CAPS." Noe is sUII in Jail and will remain there until it is fully decided as to what step shall be taken and the nature of the proceedings that shall be brought against, him, thus leaving his family in perfect Safety. However, xcitement runs high and ugly iumors are heard from the sturdy farmers within the neighborhood, so that Sheriff M'Cay and bis several guards or special deputies need not be surprised ir they should be called upon tonight to witness a whipping bee? within the cnnrt house yard and that their prisoner. Noe, should be the victim. WINAMAC. Jan. 11. Special. The excitement in Gardner Noe's case has not abated in the least and the culprit still languishes in the county Jail. Now that he has had time for reflection over th' heniousness of the offense, he begins to replize the danger of not only the result of legal proceedings, but what may tj the- result of the unpleasant temper of the infuriated citizens. All day long ugly rumors have been afloat that the threat of the white-cappers, would h-? carried out and Sheriff McCoy has left no stone unturned to secure the prisoner's safety. He has been begging the sheriff to give him an audience with his wife, but Mrs. Noe absolutely refuses to have anything more to do with him. The Sentinel correspondent visited the No residence aaia today and found that the little daughter. Mamie, was improving n'cely and will be able to be ip wtthfn a few dass. but the; mother is suffering severely from her bruises, her eyes being nearly closed, the skin scratched from almost the entirs surface of each chee'e and her face swollen to twice Its usual size. A conversation with the poor woman reveals the fact thac she and the children have been living almost wretchedly for the past two years, frequently being driven from the house to spend the night in grraneries. stacks and such other place as would afford them safety and reasonable shelter. Only a few months ago when the wife was aout to become a mother the brute drove her from the house at the point of a dagger and she was compelled to seek shelter and safety In the second story of the wheat granary, where she spent the entire night. The citizens are united in their denunciation of the man and he stands in danger of being punished severely by a land of white-caps before the law has had a chance to prescribe his punishment.

A ALLEGED O.M-'KSSIOV. Methodist Preacher Said to Have Confessed to the lllnnliaw Mnriler. RICHMOND, Jan. 1.". Special The Item publishes the following startling information tonight: "Readers of the Itenj will no doubt remember the particulars of a most atrocious murder that was committed in Randolph county, close to Wayne's border line, two years ago last June. "William Hinshaw, a young man living in the county three miles east of Winchester, had been paying attention to Miss Minnie Royd, who lived south of Lynn on the Richmond turnpike. On the Sunday of the murder Hinshaw had been to the house, remaining until quite late. He started home, down the dark road, driving his horse at a pretty lively gait. Before he had gone a great distance he was shot to death and the next morning his body was. found along the roadside. His pockets were rifled and money and watch gone. This seemed conclusive evidence that robbery was the first intention of the murder. Rut subsequent facts made thingx look in another direction, and it was supposed that the murder was committed from some othT motive. Sheriff Buck Fletcher of Winchester, assisted by nur erous detectives, worked on the case, but found every detail clothed in mystery, and while suspicion rested upon several persons there was nothing that would justify an arrest being made. Thus the affair went on to be soon forgotten by people generally. This morning there came a rumor from - Fountain City and Lynn that another chapter in the cilme had become known ami the additional matter is very much on the sensational order. It was stated that the Rev. Benjamin Baldwin, a methodist minister who formerly occupied the pulpit at Fountain City, had made a full confession of the murder. He is now at Troy, O., and has been brooding over the awful affair until he felt that to make a clean breast of the murder would ease his mind. It is said that Baldwin was a suitor to Miss Bond, who did not admire him, but on the other hand was partial to young Hinshaw. The father of Miss Hoyd favored the minister and they together concocted the plot to murder the young man. Baldwin in his confession implicates Bond as Us helpmate in the crime. "The Item telephoned to Winchester this morning to learn the facts In the case, but notning Is known definite. The rumor there is to the same effect as here. Ruck Fletcher Is not in Winchester, but It is thought went to Troy, O., to arrest Baldwin, and will then proceed to California where Rend now lives, and arrest him. Everybody from Fountain City and Lynn, who happen to be in Richmond today, are very talkative upon the subject and say that those towns are thoroughly aroused over the sensation." EXPLOSION AT WINCHESTER. A Iii Four noller : with Frightful Havoc. . WINCHESTER, Jan. 1". Special. A big farm engine was blown to pieces near th depot about 10 o'clk last night by the explosion of the. boiler. It was engine No. which was pulling a through freight, that was the cause of the accident, the. boiler being blown to pieces. The train was headed to the east and was running at the rate of about ten miles an hour when the explosion took place. Roth ends of the boiler and th bottom were blown out. and different parts of the engine were scattered along the traek for two hundred yards. Parts of the engine were found thi morning in buildings close to the accident. A piece about a foot square passed throusrh a window of the packing house of Jesse Conner, tearing the entire window out. but no on was hurt by the scattering fragments. Albert Rankin, the fireman on the engine, met a horrible death. He was standing in the cab and received the contents of the boiler. He was scalded to death; the skin of his face was completely removed and he presented a pitiable sight. His teeth were shattered, and from his face the blood was oozing from every part. His eyes presented the appearance of being torn from their sockets, but this was due to the fact that the skin was all removed from his face. A piece of the Iron from the boiler struck his left arm, laying it open from the shoulder to the elbow. He lived about thirty minutes, and hi3 last words were: "My God, my wife." He resided in Bellefontaine and left a family. The remains were taken to bis home this morning.
