The Police Trouble

Was referred by the City Council to the
committee on city officers, composed of
COuncilmen Werner, COldren and Bast.
The committee met in the council COM
mittee room on Thursday evening at z
o'clock and proceeded to investigate.
City Solicitor Welty was also on hand.
Policeman Lehnis was first called on
and related the difficulty with his col
league LOthamer substantially as it was
given in the DEMOCRAT last week.
Mr.. LOthamer followed, admitting he
was somewhat under the influence Of
liquor; admitted the alteration at Mas
sillOn, and claimed Lehnis pulled out
some of his beard; did not recollect
drawing a revolver on LehniS in the
Mayors office. Mayor Piero said he had
LOthamer for intOxicatiOn
and that Lehnis was not. Both were
good officers.
Several other witnesses were exam
ined, after which the committee went
into secret session. After consulting
on the matter vote was taken on dis
LOthamer, which was carried,
Bast voting no. The committee will
thus report at the next Council meeting.

RihemsnS Racket at Myers Lake for a
Deer.
At the shooting match for a deer, at
Meyers Lake, about thirty spOrtsmen
attended and Canton was fttingly rep
resented by p. p. Rush. DR.. Pecher Of
Pike township, Gust Herbruck, Tony
ShanabrOOk and the eirrepressible, round
faced, silent, yet wonderfully talkatiVe
Louis DumOnt, who had a weapon on
his shoulder that was feaTfully and won
derfully made, and closely resembled a
mountain h0witzer, and when he
brought it to his shoulder men stood on
ttptOe as soldiers in army times did on
mortar boats, for the detOnRtiOn was
severe enough to loosen the back teeth.
1t Is eminently in order to say that MIR.
Dumont made an excellent score and re-
minded the close student Of history in
the early times of the way that trees are
"blaZed," as his bullets brought of nu-
merOus sections of bark from the tree
on which the target was placed, and
one irreyerent spectator said that his
fourth shot struck in Plain township
and opened a new and previously un-
discovered, coal vein. This statement,
however, is given with the privilege of
nifty per cent off at thirty days.
ANOTHER NIMRoD

scribe arrived on the ground, took him
by the button hole, led him around be-
hind a tree, and impressiVely told him
that the rules of the tournament were
that only four rifle shots at fifty yards
distance could be fred by each man, u
20 cents shot, and with tears in his
eyes, this truthful man said that he had
shot his regulation four shots and made
five bulls.eyes." Repeated inquiry
failed to elicit how this leg6rdemain
was done, but the carpet man says it's
a fact. The reporters idea Is that the
ball after striking the centre, struck off
on tangent toward MasslllOn, carOmed
on a coal bank, was DETECTED and again
hit the same mark, in the same place.
While She shooting was going on a
little side game was started up, being a
money purse at 70 yards, one shot with
rifle, with thirteen entries. Mr.. 2. l..
Manly was the victor and bore away the
prize. The judges decided that Frank
Brauchler, engineer of the steam yacht
at the lake has won the deer, but accord
ing to agreement, awarded him the
money and the deer will again be shot
for in the course Of a couple of weeks,
due notice Of which will be given in the
DEMOCRAT.
The thanks Of the reporter are due
Mr.. Chas. Sliker for cOurtesies shown.

found a claimant. On Saturday an
officer from Leetonia who identified the
property in his possession as belonging
to a store in that village, which had
beeu burglarized few nights since.
He took charge of the gentleman and
carried him back to LeetOnia to answer
for the crime. At his hearing he owned
to the name of Thomas Mccoy. and con-
fessed to the burglary of the dry goods
store of Snyder Il Sons. He was sent to
the county jail at New Lisbon for safe
keeping.
Leander South, brakeman on the p.
Ft. W. " G. railroad, on Sunday night, at
ShreVe, attempted to set brake but it
broke and threw him from the box car

he struck an adjoining fiat car, breaking
several ribs, thence to the ground, cut
ting his head in terrible manner and
injuring the spine. He was brought to
his home in Alliance, where he received
the attention of DR.. Tressel, the rail
road surgeon. His injuries are very
painful, but II is hoped will not prove
dangerous.

1t is a lesson to heed, especially for
wayward youth, or needless parents.
Two young men, born and raised in Can
ton, somewhat under forty years of age,
are now serving terms In the Ohio Peni-
tentiaTy. Both are married, and left be-
hind wives and children. In both these
cases the parents are worthy people,
honest and Industrious, and well to do.
Their position in society has ever been
good, and their means ample to give
their SONS good start. They have ever
been ready, to their credit be said, to do
for these reckless sons. All their efforts,
however, were of nOaVail. Other inhu-
ences had educated them in the way of
recklessness that leads to crime. We ap-
prehend the twain referred to never
took to books nor to honest daily toll and
industry. The company of the vile and
reckless was more cOngenial, and they
went onward, step by step, until they
were convicted of crime, and consigned
to the states prison for term of years.
1t is sad lesson, and shows the import
ance of seeing that our youth are kept
from evil associations and Influences,
and are taught dOcility, obedience and
industry.

TIE rARIFF ON LumnER.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The action OF
the Senate in placing lumber on the
free list has stirred up row that bids
well to defeat the tariff bill. Plumb and
Ingalls,, Of Kansas, Van Wyck. Of Ne
braska, and McDill, of Iowa, have taken
decided stand for free lumber, stating
that they voted as their convictions lay
and.in aeeOrdauce with an irresistible
demand of their respective constituent
cies; that 1t would be folly to attempt
ed wire and keep their respective States
Republican. The lumber members, on
the other hand, say unless the tariff is
continued on 1t, they Will vote dead
against the tariff bill as a whole on its
final passage. Other interests are liable
to lock horns in much the same manner,

At Louisville one day last week DR.. j.
P. Sehilling's Office was more than
usually lively with business. A Mr..
Gordon, an employee Of the Ft. Wayne
railroad, got off freight train betwee 4
Louisville and Canton when running at
full speed and was tumbled along on the
double quick, dislocating an elbow. He
called on DR.. Schilling to have the mem
Der set right. This job was hardly
through when Mr.. RebillOt, the butcher,
came In to have his hand dressed, which
he had severely cut. This job was not
completed when Elias Essig, of the
planning mill, came in to get piece of
steel extracted from his eye, having
neglected to put on his specks. DR..
Schilling is an expert surgeon and

Mayor PierO, after a hearing in the
case Of Desler, the porter at the Ameri-
can Hotel, concluded the testimony was
sufficient to bind defendant over to
court. The bail was fixed at $500. Dur
ing the trial at the Mayors office A. II.
Harris, travelling man for Cleveland
shoe house entered, having just got off
the train. He was one of the victims of
the American Hotel robbery, and as he
passed through the crowd In the Mayors
office to take a.seat inside the railing,
his eye caught 0esler, and pointing at
him, said: "Why, there's the thief who
was at my door," 1t seems Mr.. Harris
awoke during the night and looking up
saw man standing in his door way,
which was half open. On. the stand he
testified that the accused was the person,
to the best Of his knowledge. Mr.. Har-
ris's loss was $50.

The Akron Beacon says: Several
days ago some of our leading manufac-
turers while in Cincinnati had a con-
versatiOn with Mr.. Hall, of the Hall
Safe 81 Lock Co., in which Mr.. Hall is
pany never intended leaving Cincinnati.
Mr.. Hall added, however, that he did not
propose to stop the reports which were
flying through the newspapers of the
State, as theI were the best possible ad-
vertisements that his firm could get. 1t
is further said that the Hall Safe & Lock
Co. do intend to enlarge their shops, but
that they anticipate that Cincinnati
will pay as much as any city in the State
rather than let them leave where they
are now located and have so much pro-
perty." This is shrewd Yankee practice
at all events.
