A STRANGE AFFAIR

Found Guilty in a Case in Which He
was Acting the Detective, and Sentenc-
ed to Eight Years in the Pen.
The cases against George Robinson,
colored, of Pittsburg, and Thomas
Patton, a well known character in this
city, have been virtually settled, and
the two men have each been sentenced
to eight years in the penitentiary for
assaulting ex-Justice Yant with intent
to rob. Robinson has been taken to
his new home, but Patton remains in
the county jail here, awaiting the limit
of the time allowed for his attorney to
file a bill of exceptions,
The case is a peculiar one When
the people learned one morning that
Daniel j. Yant had been murderously
assaulted and robbed, and left lying in
the gutter neal his house more dead
than alive, it was the general impress
sion that he had fallen into bad com
pany the night before, and that in a
difficulty had been assaulted. 1t was
not long, however, until the feeling

the squire, and the public anX-
iousl awaited his recovery,
feeling sure that he could identify his
assailants. 1t was a long wait and
many rough characters were Swallowed
by the police as suspects but no ground
was gained. Finally Tom Patton, the
sport, offered his services to ferret out
the assailants and firmly believing in
ar old adage in which there was more
truth than poetry, Patton was allowed
to go to work, an officer in the mean
time sporting" him. Robinson was
arrested as an accomplish in the assault
and after a time Patton was astOunded
to find himself under arrest as the
leader in the affair. He protested but
in vain and the meshes of the law
closed tightly about him and he finally
was found guilty. 1t cannot be told
what the bill of exceptions will bring
forth. The victim, Daniel Yant, ling
cred for a long time between life and
death, but finally rallied and has been
attending to business for some time,

The Glass Packers of the Country
Ask For Admission
Into the American Glass Worker Assoc
citation, in Annual Convention in
This City--Favorably Impress
ed With the City.

The American Glass Workers, in
secret session in the high school hail,
adjourned Tuesday evening until
thursday morning. The committees
we're appointed before adjournment
and are at work today. Upon the call
of the convention in the morning if
the committees are not ready to report
the convention will again adjourn a
reasonable length of time. The length
of the convention will depend largely
ly upon the length of time taken by the
committees in preparing reports and
upon the work done by them. 1t
is stated upon reliable authority
that there has been some little trouble
in the convention over certain matters
not made public, and that if the con
vention does not finish business Satur-
day, it is not likely it will finish until
the following Wednesday or Thursday.
The most important matter to come
before the convention will be the decid-
ing upon accepting into the association
the glass packers union. This union
now numbers some 800 men, and it is
probable that their wish will be passed
favorably upon, and that the union
will be taken into the association.
For the past three years the Green
Lake union has been knocking vigor-
ously upon the door of this association
for admission. The Flint Glass Work
ers do not care to have them in the as
ISOLATION, as they believe their organ
iZation is large enough at present.
Nothing definite a be learned, but
it has been inSinuated that tie annual
convention of the glass blowers at Mas.

within such a short distance of
the Flint Workers in this city
with a deep object in view.
1t is rumored that they desire a union
with the flint workers, but if such is
the case nothing direct can be learned.
A few days more may clear away the
clouds.

the higest terms of him and are glad to

dition and May Die.
mo Arrest.

News of a great sensation comes from
the southern part of the city. This
time it is the well knownrounder, Frank
Bissler, who keeps a sporting house in
South Market below the creek, and the
injuries he received may prove fatal.
1t appears that about 4 o'clock Sun
day morning Frank Bissler and son
were raising such a racket as to
disturb Mr.. Jesse Dine, Jr liy-
ing next door. Dine asked the
two to cease their Internal racket. For
this request he was notified to seek a
warmer cline. He went from his
house to his own yard when a fusilade
uf bottles came from Bissler and his
dutiful sol i'll whom he was probably
we'll pleased. A war of words ensued,
when it is stated that Bissler shot at
Dine, but whether with intent to hit
him Is not known. Dine, in a warning
tone, told him to shoot again, and the
words had hardly left his lips when
Bissler did shoot, following the shot
with another.
This act of Bissler's excited and n
gered Dine, and picking upa good sized
stone, he threw it with some force at
Bissler. 1t was well thrown, and
brought the one for whom it was in
tended to the ground, striking Frank
Bissler on the head. The nan was car
ried into his house and a surgeon called.
1t was found that his skull was frac-
tured, and a piece of stone and skull
about the size of a hickory nut were
removed. The surgeon reports that
Bissler is in a precariOus condition, but
that he may recover if inflammation
does not set in. In the fight the Bliss
Ter boy had his hand severely cut with
a bottle, and Mrs. Dine was injured
slightly by Il piece of glass. There have
been no arrests made.

By the Car on the Valley, Under Which
They Sought Shelter From the Storm.
Shortly after 11:3O this morning a
shifter pulled up before the Valley sta
ticn in West Tuscarawas street, and
two men were taken from the pilot and
carried into the waiting room. Agent
Lied telephoned for DR.. A. c. Brant
upon being informed that the men YER
injured, and in a few minutes the SUI
geon arrived. An examination showed
that the one young man, who gave his
name as William Entrekin, had his arm
run over and it was broken i'll two
places. 1t was properly dressed but
can hardly be saved. The other young
man gave his name as Oliver Dorsey.
He was eolored and had his left leg
badly iqjured.
Dorsey was not suffering such pain
that he could not talk, and told aNEWs-
DEMOCRAT man that Entrekln and he
and another colored boy had sought
shelter from the storm under a box car
near the Valley round house. They
had been there some time and knew
nothing of an engine being attached to
the car until it started. 1t was then
too late. The one boy escaped but the
wheels caught Entrekin and with the
above result. His home was in Har-
risburg, Pa, and Entrekin's in Phila-
delphia,

A startling report was circulated
about eight o'clock this m%ornlngin the

strangled herself by a rope fastened to
a beam in the cellar of her house. The

Mrs. Deter is O. years of age, and
her old, wrinkled features, painfully
drawn in the horrible death which she
had inflicted npon herself, showed
marks of the cares that had filed her
life. Her gray hair was tumbled about
her head, and the stark and rigid form,
clad in a loosely fitting dress, was al
ready cold in death, when the terrible act
was discovered. The common hemp
rope, which had swung her life into
eternity, was fastened to the low cell
ing of the cellar, and her feet almost
touched the floor. She had tied the
rope around her neck while standing
on the tip toes of her feet, and then let
herself drop, breaking her neck. Ros-
anna Deter owned and resided in the
house on East Fourth street, where the
tragedy occurred. She was poor and

the defendant. She testified that Frank
Warthorst, while intoxicated, told
her at her ranch that he had fired the
shot which had killed a relative of DR..
kirkland, who resided just east of the
Warthorst house. During the long and
closely contested trial in this city the
batteries of the defense were directed
against the woman and her life held up
to public scorn by the able and eloquent
insolvency, and the able attorney
showed that ALT Burnett, the detective
who worked up the case, was in bed at
Cloman's house on that night, but she
held firm through it all and saw
Warthorst convicted. She was a
woman of the most depraVed type.

Conrad, almost lost his life at that
place Sunday night. The Doctor has
been in the habit of using chloroform
at night, and Sunday evening he retired
early and the chloroform was given
him by his wife. She left the room
shortly after but returned in the course
of half an hour, aud found that her re
appearance had been none too soon, for
apparently her husband had stopped
breathing. She hurridly called medical
aid and the unconscious man was
brought back to this world. He has en-
tirely recovered from the effect of the
shock. The dose taken Sunday night
was not larger than usual, but the heat
had affected the Doctor and he was un-
prepared to stand what he could VIXEN

A CITY HOSPITAL
Almost Assured For the City Of
Canton.
The Council to Be Petitioned Monday to
Condemn the Old Graveyard and
Use 1t For the Site--A
Large Donation.

1t is very likely that Canton will soon
have a city hospital. Energetic steps
are being taken in the matter by a
number of prominent citizens and at
the next meeting night the city council
will be petitioued to take a hand in the
affair.
The arrangements for this great pro-
iect have not been entirely perfected
but it is reliably learned that the plan
is to secure the old graveyard
in South Plum street as the site
for the hospital and that
if this is done, a prominent woman in
the city stands ready to donate to those
having the matter in charge almost il
not sufficient to erect a $4,000 city hos
pital that will reflect credit upon those
concerned in the project and also upon
the city. The petition for signatures,
asking the city council to cordemn the
old graveyard, is being circulated, and
is almost ready to be presented to that
body. 1t will be in readiness in a few
days at the most, and on Monday even
ing the city council will have the mat
ter left to it to decide whether or not
the city of Canton will have a city hos
pital.
About a year ago this project was
started by the Associated Charities
and hard work was performed by a
committee of that body. 1t was
thought that the project would result in
success but owing to a pressure from
certain quarters against using the Old
graveyard for a site, and not having the
money in hand to purchase a proper
site and erect a building such as a city
of this size should have, the affair was
permitted to quietly die down. 1t has
been reconstructed by Dr.. Lew Slussel
and others, and they feel assured Of the
success of the project.
