Killed The Father To Get His Girls

In order that Joe Bean, a brutal negro farm hand, near Newfane, Ua., might have the two attractive daughtersof A. B. Leigh, a prominent farmer, at his mercy, he decoyed Leig-h from home at midnight, then went for Mrs. Leigh, who, he said was also wanted to attend a sick farm hand. The women, seeing that Bean had a' pistol, grew suspicious, and "Willie," Leigh's 17-year-old daughter, got her father's g-un and frightened the fiend away. The latter shot twice at her before his flight.
