SHE WAS RELEASED.
For Some Reason Constable Ertle
Didn't Take Anna MoffOtt
to Massillnn.

There seems to be something strange regard
ing the arrest of Anna Motfott of Rex street,
After the arrest by special officer McCort the
woman was turned over to constable Ertle, of
Massillon, who started to take herto that city.
Miss MofTott says the Massillon officer took
her as far as the corner Of South Cleveland
avenue and West Tuscarawas street. where
she was released. She further stated that
constable Ertle accused her for taking $40
from a Massllon man by the name of
Brennan.
She denied the charge claim
ing she had not been with the man on
circus day, didn't even know him, and conse-
quently knew nothing about his money. Ac-
cording to her story the constable then released
her, saying he would be over in the evening
with the man to see If he could identify her
They failed to put in an appearance, and the
woman is indignant at her arrest under the
circumstances. She claims to be innocent of
any wrong doing in the matter, and says she
was not in the place charged but admits being
with another married man, whom she says
does not claim to have lost any money.

A BELT LINE
Scheme on Foot to Have the Electric
Cars Circle Meyers
Lake.

There is considerable talk regarding the
building of belt line around Meyers lake,
and it is probably the Canton
Massillon Street Railway Company will be
petitioned to construct the same. The promo
tiers of the scheme argue that it would be a
paying investment for the street railway COM
pany, and it is thought under certain circum-
stances the company would like to build the
belt line.
1t is suggested that cars run up West North
street, through Shorb's grove to the Fulton
road, thence to the north side Of the lake, and
then around the lake, connecting with the
present line. 1t is claimed that the belt line
would be largely patronized. 1t is probable
the matter will be presented to the street rail
way company in the near future.

DIDN'T CATCH CURRY
But the Dogs Round Up Another Man
in Short Order Workbouse
Nav Buy Them.

No use could be made of the blood
hounds by the workhouse authorities yes
terday. It was learned that Albert Cur
ry, the escaped prisoner, had jumped a
north-bound coal train at Greentown.
The dogs, however, were given a trial
at the workhouse in the evening. They
were put on the trail of an employee, who
was given ten minutes start, and they
had him treed in neighboring woods
about ten minutes later.
The owner returned to Youngstown
this morning, leaving the dogs here.
They are not the large, ugly looking
hounds, but are about the size Of COM
mon fox-hound, and are very pretty. The
workhouse authorities may buy them. 1t
is doubted whether many will even at
tempt escape when the dogs are known to
be on hand.

LAW NOT OBEYED.
Stark County Ministers Violated
the Law Last Year in
Thirty Cases.
LIABLE TO HEAVY FINES.

Persons Who Were Married, and Re
turns not Made as Provided by the
STANDARDIZATION Heads the List
With Nineteen Cases.
There is a law in the state of Ohio
which provides that ministers, justices of
the peace, and any other person who mar
ries couple, shall make proper return of
the marriage within ninety days from the
date thereof, to the probate Judge of the
county in which the ceremony is per-
formed.
The penalty for neglecting to comply
with the statute is a fine ,of $50. While
the statute is generally observed, there are
some people in Stark county who appear
to pay no attention to the requirements of
the law.
For the year ending April 10, 1885, there
were thirty licenses isued in probate court
on which no returns were made. If all
of the parties were married, and 1t is to be
presumed that they were, the county
could collect 81, 500 from the parties who
performed the ceremonies. OF the thirty
licenses on which no returns were made,
nineteen of them were issued to Massillon
people, and seven to residents of Canton.
| Below will be found list of the par
ties to whom the licenses were issued, and
the date thereof, the list starting in 1894
and ending in 1895. II would be well for

made according to law. The list is as
