The Maennerchor singing society of
Cleveland, together with the Maenner-
choir singing society of Canton held
picnic at Geisen'S Grove yesterday.
which is about two miles southwest OF
town. The Cleveland crowd came
down on an excursion train of twelve
cars. There were at least six or seven
additional cars that were run out to
the grove that were filled with Canton
people. Quite number drove
there in carriages. After some of them
became pretty well saturated with beer
things began to get pretty lively They
became noisy and were quite quarrel
some.
In the afternoon Charles Julian was
arrested by Constable Weber for shoot
ing at Philip Eckert with intent to kill
1t is claimed that Julian had been
brandishing a revolver about there and
had aimed 1t at couple of small boys
and threatened to kill them. Soon af
ter this he discharged his revolver
while holding it in his coat pocket, the
hall which was a 90 calibre hitting
Philip Eckert.
After the shot was fred suspicion at
once pointed to Julian as the guilty
man, and when he was accused of the
matter he denied it, saying that it was
impossible for him to shoot for he had
no cylinder in his revolver. The re-
volver was produced but the cylinder
was gone. When pressed about the
matter, he finally admitted that he shot
the fellow. but that it was accidental.
The ball entered Egbert's leg in
the back part OF the knee and made its
exit short distance below the knee,
thereby making two holes in his pants
and two in his leg. The wound is only
flesh wound and is not considered
very dangerous. Had the ball taken
downward course it would have very
likely severed the popliteal artery,
which would have been a dangerous
wound and laid the gentleman up for
some time.
When Julian was searched at the
jail there was found upon his person
two revolvers, a candle, picture and
few other things. He gave his age as
16 and he claims he is from Pittsburg.
He is good chunk of a boy and is no
doubt q or % years of age.
Julian was brought before Mayor
this morning and plead guilty. He
was fined $500 and costs and sentenc-
ed to ten days in jail AS soon as his
time expires he will be arrested on an
other charge.
Constable Weber had a good deal of
trouble in trying to bring him to Can
ton. Julian made three attempts to
get away before he got him on the
train. With a great deal of difficulty
he succeeded in Handwriting him. He
told Constable Weber that if he would
give him five feet of start he might
shoot at him all he wanted to-
Constable Rebholtz receive two blows
on the head with a leaden cane. There
were number of fellows under the in
tluence of intoxicants who were quar-
reling with each other. Mr.. Rebholtz
was trying to pacify them, and while
so doing someone in the crowd behind
him struck him with the cane. The
blows were rather severe, for the skin
was broken and blood flowed from the
wounds. lrr l

InIrISVIILE AUG

LOUISVILLE, Aug. 80.
A small vote was polled at the Dem
ocratic primary on Saturday. The far
mers picnic and the picnic of st. Louis
aid society, had tendency to draw a
great number of voters away. The

friend Schmactenberger and Judge"
Bill are Democrat favorites here.
The farmers picnic held at the Maple
Grove school house on last Saturday
was well attended. Speeches were
made by j. w. Myers, Hon. j. E. Mon
not, Rev. J. J. Leberman and j. Martin.
A good time was had.
At meeting of the village school
board, Prof. Jones was elected super
intendent of the schools for the ensu-
ing year to fill the vacancy caused by
Prof. Kerstetter'S sickness.
Ed. Newhouse is taking orders for
enlarging pictures, and reports good
success His work shows that he un-
derstands his business.
The Hon. J. E. Monnot dropped in
among his numerous friends on Satur-
day, and reports the Democratic out
look good.
The st. Louis aid society held their pic
mic at Meyers lake on last Saturday.
1t was largely attended.
The action of our village council has
demonstrated that they favor the erec-
tion of town hall.

air so as to render the atmosphere with

this can be overcome by allowing the
windows in the sleeping apartments
open, which should be the custom
when the weather will permit. A
more serious objection is allowing the
branches to hang so low as to interfere
with persons walking the pavement
with raised umbrella. There is diff
ference IN the quality of trees-that is,
In their powers of ABSORPTION and
elimination, which may to some extent
effect the health, but on the other hand
when it is considered that shade trees

more than counterbalances any objec-

cultivation. May they be extended
along our private streets as they add
much to the beauty of the city.

Monday evening in Justice Fulmer's
Court Malvern Burkholder, of Elton,
a wealthy farmers son, was there to
answer to a serious charge preferred
against him by Malinda Speck, hand
some young lady of the blonde type,
former resident at Elton but now resid-
ing in Richyille. She charge him with
the paternity of her child.
The prosecuting witness and defend
ant were present with their attorneys
and an attempt was made to com.
promise the case. The young
man through his attorneys stated that
he was willing to give sum equal to
that which would be awarded by the
highers court if the case came up for
trial, but this the attorneys of the pros
ecuting witness would not listen to,
and upon plea of not guilty being ell.
tered by the young man he was bound
over to court in the sum of $500.
From reliable sources 1t is learned
that this young couple have been keep
ing company for a number of years.
They are both about twenty years of
age, and fine looking. The young man
has wealthy parents and is the sole heir
to fire farm lands that would sell readi
Iy for thousands Of dollars. Last Oc-
tober was the day set for the wedding
of this handsome couple, but from
some unknown reason it didn't take
place. In February the girl alleged
that she gave way to temptation, the
result of which has been this suit.
Such cases are usually compromised
before they enter higher court, and,
as stated, an attempt was made TO eff
feet a compromise in this case, but it
was opposed for the alleged reason that
it is the intention of the young lady to
bring through her attorneys a suit for
breech of promise, the damages being
placed at high figure. 1t is thought
this action will be begun soon.

LEOPOLD BIECHELE.
Leopold BiecheIe, who is a candidate
for the Office of inirmary director for
the second term, was born in Baden,
Germany, in 1926, and is therefore 62
years of age. At the age of II he be
gan to learn the timers trade. He
served as an apprentice until he was
drafted into the army. His parents
mad some time prior to this removed to
America, and by reason of this he was
released. He then concluded to emf
crate to America, and he and his
brother GuStavus shook the Prussian
dust from their shoes and set sail fUl
the United States. They landed upon
the American shores in the summer OF
1926 and Immediately struck out fol
Canton, Ohio, where his brother, who
had come over shortly before, and some
relatives lived. While yet living in
Germany his father died. His mother,
step-fatner and another brother, who
lau also come to this country, met
their deaths by the blowing up of a
steamer on the Mississippi river
When Mr.. Biechele first came to Can
ton he worked for ID. H. Harmon for a
period of six years. After this
he formed partnership with his broth
er Gustavus in the timing business
which was small at first but gradually
grew to great proportions In July
1853, he was married to Miss Louisa
Held, who was also native of Ger
many. He served one term In the city
| council and While serving III that ca
pacity always had the interests of the
city at heart, and was one of its promi
nent members. Three years ago he
received the nomination of the Stark
county Democracy for the office of Iu
firmary Director. His Republican Op
ponent was James w. Archibald, OF
Lawrence township, who was nominal
ed by his party because he was know
to be very POI ular among the mining
classes of the county. Mr. Biechelt
WIS elected by PA majority. In this
Office he used the same cautious judg
ment that he did while a member Of
the city council, always keeping in view
the interests of the county. He ha!
made an excellent Infrmary Director
and should be elected to his seconC
term. The Infrmary being located just
a mile north of town, it has always
been the custom, and is really necessary
that one of the three InhrmaTy DiTec
tors should reside in Canton. AS one o
them lives in Tuscarawas township anC
the other in Washington township an(
as the Republican nominee for tht
Office lives in Marlboro township, thii
matter should be acted upon by thu
citizens of Canton without regard t.
