FRY In LIMBO.
THE CLEVER FoReeR CAPTURED AFTER
A HOT CHASE.

Officers Mcoort and Brisbin Chase Him to
Greentown and He is Arrested in Cleve-
land as he Leaves Valley Train-The
Officers Walk Home.
Martin L. Fry, former Canton barber
and jeweler, was arrested Tuesday at
Cleveland. Marshal Becherer went to
that city Wednesday and will bring Fry
to Canton TO answer to numerous charges
to be preferred against him, including
several for forgery. Fry is o son-in-law
of Henry Young OF Lake street. Several
months ago the prisoner left this city
without first attending to some debts
which he had contracted. Shortly after
leaving, quite q number of people showed
up, from whom Fry obtained various
sums of money which he promised to pay.
Several forged orders also bobbed up and
o search was made for the author of these
forgeries but he could not be found.
Tuesday Mr.. Young appeared at police
headquarters and stated that Fry had
visited hir house, and the patrol wagon
went out Lake street. Fry evidently had
heard of the police being after him and
he drove away. Officers McCort and
Brisbin learned that Fry had
driven toward New Berlin and they
went there on a train. Groceryman
SponseIler of that village informed them
that Fry had paid him 81 for buggy and
he was accompanied by boy who drove
him frat to Canton, then to New Berlin
and toward Greentown. Telephone
communication with the latter city devel
| oped the fact that Fry had boarded VAL
ley train without purchasing ticket, and
q telegram was sent to Cleveland. When
the train arrived there Fry was at once
arrested. II seems that when he left
Canton he went to some place in Canada,
where he has lived since. He came down
on the Valley to New Berlin, Tuesday
and was from there driven here.
| Officers McCort and Brisbin had a
streak OF bad luck. They missed the Val,
ley train south and had to walk all the
distance to Canton from New Berlin
They arrived here rather late in the even
ing and looked dusty and tired out. They
say the mud wasn't so very deep but thai
they could wade through IL.

COLUMBUS, o., May 24.-A question
has been raised as to the eligibility Of
DIR. j. A. Sterritt to perform the duties
of deputy food and dairy inspector. The
doctor is a member of the legislature,
and the claim is made that this bars
him from filling the position to which
he was appointed by Commissioner Nc
Neal. On the other hand, it is argued
that he is simply an employe of the de.
partment and not a state officer in the
meaning of the law, which prohibits
members of the legislature from ap-
pointment to other positions,

was at once enlisted in the cows behalf,
and he began to stroke her in an affec-
tionate manner. She very much disap-
proved of the doctors advances, and
rushed him into the canal, accelerating
his fight by an ungentle prod in the
bosom of his trousers that landed him in
water at least five feet deep. Quite o
number of people saw the doctors plight
and rushed to his assistance, but he was
none the worse for the adventure, ex-
cepting his involuntary plunge in the
dirty water.

Some Damaging Evidence Against the
Ohio Inspector.
COLUMNS, o.. May 2i.-Some sensa-
tional evidence was elected today in the
investigation Of State Shop Inspector w.
Y. Mcdonald. Deputy Inspector Evan
H. Davis of Cleveland was on the stand
all day. In direct examination he pro-
duced statements from the money order
department Of the Cleveland postoffice
and of the United States express office
there through which he received his re-
mittance of expense money from In
spector Mcdonald. He said this was all
the money he had received.
The sums sent him were compared
with the vouchers in the auditors of
flee, which Mcdonald filed out and
drew, and It was found in nearly every
case the voucher was two or three times
as large as the expense account rendered.
Davis received only S270 as expense
money in the year, while the total of the
vouchers drawn by Mcdonald for this
purpose was $1,176. On Cross-examina-
tion Davis did not hold up his evidence
very well, however.
