SHERIFF DOLL SCARED.
He is Thinking of Getting Ont of the
Race tU Escape Sure
Defeat,

The rumOr is currently circulated that Hi.
ram Doll, the present sheriff. will not be a
candidate for reelection on the republican
ticket. According to all reports there is deal
on foot, whereby sheriff Doll will withdraw in
favor of Joseph Grapevine, of Massillon, who
is slated to secure the republican nomination.
The reason for sheriff Dolls action is given
that the miners in the Massillon district will
oppose him almost to man, on account of his
actions during the recent trouble.
Sheriff Doll was seen yesterday afternoon by
a NEWS reporter in regard to the many rumors
in circulation.
81 am seriously considering the advsability
of not being a candidate" said the sheriff. 81
have not fully decided whether / will run for
the office, but will make public my intentions
in very few days. l know that many of the
miners are opposed to me, yet my friends urge
me to run and try to make up the loss in
other sections. / am undecided what to do,
but will know soon. If l withdraw it will not
be in the interest Of Joseph Grapevine or any,
one else. There may be other candidates,
and all will have an equal chance There is
not very much in the office at present, and the
prospects for the future are not very bright"

THAT COLLISION.
Two Engines Selected and Named Free
Trade and PrOtectiOn-NOw
Being Painted,

The prearranged railroad collision, which
has been talked about much in Canton, will
not come off as first announced on the Fourth
of July, but will take place on Saturday after
noon of July Goth. The managers of the
unique scheme have arranged to have the col
lision on the Waynesburg branch of the c. G.
Il S. two miles southeast of Canton.
The engines which are 10 come together are
old ones which have been discarded by the
G. @. & S. and which have been standing out
in the weather for some time. The other day
they were taken into the Connotton round
house to be prepared for the coming occasion.
They will be fitted up so as to be able to run at
the required speed. The one engine is No. 81,
which for many years drew the local from
Canton to Waynesburg and which was good
and speedy in its time. The other is an old
passenger engine, Each engine and the two
fiat cars loaded with stones, which will be
attached, will be painted red, white and
blue.
Number 80 has been named Free Trade and
No. 81 is called Protection. The latter is much
the heavier which gives it an advantage, but II
remains to be seen whether might will conquer
right in this encounter.
The trains will each be taken three quarters
of a mile from the estimated place of collision
and then started toward each other.
The grounds surrounding the place of meet
ing win be enclosed with high board fence SC
that only those who pay win be able to see the
coming together Of the iron horses and the at
tached cars.

All Must Now Go Who Want County
Help--A Poor Girls Arm
Saved

The Stark county infrmary directors held an
important meeting Friday afternoon at the
poor house. The long contemplated step for
retrenchment of outdoor expenditures was ta-
ken. A resolution was adopted declaring that
hereafter no money will be paid out for outdoor
relief and all who wish aid from the county
must come to the poor house. An exception
is made in cases where the destitute are too
sick to be moved. This is expected to largely
reduce the expenses Of outdoor relief
Bertha Gennet the Massillon girl who has
been suffering with white swelling in one arm
for a long time is still at the inirmary. This
is the girl who was once taken to the hospital
and Canton physicians said that her arm
would have to come off. They wanted to do
the job and Mr.. Putnam says the
directors offered them $3.50 but they
wanted more. The doctors said the girl
could not live with that arm but she was
taken back to the infirmary and under the care
of DIR. Harrity of Massillon, she has recovered
and her arm is said to be all right.

THE YOUNG FAMILY.
Descendants Of the First Settler of
Pike Township Meet-An In
teresting History,

The annual Young family reunion was
held at the new fair grounds Saturday
with 200 people present At 10 O'Clock
the commissary committee organized a
banquet brigade and set forth a great
feast After this had been disposed of the
tables were cleared and the president of
the day, Frank Young, of Plain town
ship, called the assembly to order. There
was music by the Battlesbrug choir, in
vocation by Rev. Brown, of Sparta, a
series of recitations by the little folks and
a baptism of eloquence from the lips of
Eli Miller, Rev. Bowers and DR.. +. f..
Young DIR. Young, after speaking for a
short time introduced his little patient
who has been transformed from a mute
idiot to an ordinarily intelligent lad with
full power of speech, who gave several
readings
Mr.. Eli Miller, who had lived on an ad-
joining farm with the original George
Young, in his remarks said he had known
DIR. Young for fifty years and that his
work with this lad had converted him tC
the theory Of evolution. He said that
when a doctor could take q monkey and
make a man of him like that it was nc
use to longer hold out against Darwinism.
The reunion was very happy one fol-
all concerned and before adjournment II
was decided to meet next year at the farm
of George j. Young, in Pike township on
the second Saturday in June
The history of the Young family is one
of the most interesting of any in the
county. George Young, whose descend
ants held the reunion Saturday, was the
first settler in Pike township. 1t was in
1905 that he with his wife and one ohild
started west with not dollar and with
nothing but two old plugs for pack
horses. Upon these were a few household
utensils and some provisions. Mr.. Young
had secued some land in Pike town,
ship from Steubenville man. His direc,
tions told him TO follow the Big Sandy
TO Limestone run then follow this brook
until he came to the big sulphur spring
This he did, found the spring all right
and on its bank built his first rough hut
This was the beginning Of the Young
family here. Mr.. and Mrs. Young had @
family of twenty-one children and they
succeeded in raising nineteen of them
DIR. f. e. Young, Of the New Way Health
Home, this city, is the twenty-frst child
George j. Young, of Pike township, who
is now so years old, is the Oldest living
The others living are Mrs. N. A. Erb, Of
Los Angels, Mrs. Grove, of Chicago, anC
Mrs. Tayman, of Somerset county, Pa
Nearly all of the children raised large
families and there are upon the family
records now the names of 555 blood de
scendants of the pioneer patriarch.
