The Ohio weather and crop service bulletin,
issued in connection with the state board of
agriculture, for the week ending April 18th,
has the following in interest for this section :
Rains have been general and in some counties
the amount was sufficient to delay farm
work. Wheat has improved materially, and is
getting good start Fall clover is looking
better in some counties, but in others il was so
badly winter killed that the rain had no ma.
terial effect upon it. Oats are nearly all sown,
except in the northeast counties bordering
along the lake, where all farm work has hardly
commenced yet. Fruits are advancing very
slowly on account of the confined cool weather,
but appear to be in good condition, except
peaches, which look poorly. Flowing is well
under way, but has been delayed some by the
heavy showers. Early potatoes are being
planted, and gardens are being made. The
sugar season has ended, and the crop was
short but of good quality

SHOT WHILE FLEEING.
officer Stacy Sends Bullet Crashing
Into the Brain of a Tramp.

James Riley had no money for railroad
fare and his life must pay the penalty for
ihs poverty. At IL o'clock Saturday
morning epecal officers StaceE and Weir
of the Pennsylvania railroad, discovered u
quartette of tramps beating passage on an
east bound freight at Stark siding.
They went after them to place them un-
der arrest. One of the men took to his
heels and ran across plowed field. ON
Ger Stacy followed i'm hot pursuit. He
yelled at the fellow to stop but the tramp
only increased his speed. Then the off
shot in the ground to scare the tramp.
Still the man fled. Stacy pulled
up and shot again and the unfortunate
young man dropped i'm his tracks. The
second bullet struck him in the middle
Of the back of the head about mt the lmse
of the brain.
The wounded man was conscious when
picked up and gave his name az James
Riley, of Geneva, ~ Y. He was brought
into town on the shifter and taken to DIR.
Posts office After he was shot the other
tramps were let go and they walked away.
Riley Is n young man 22 years of age
The bullet, which was from thirty-eight
calibre shell evidently entered his brain,
as he was bleeding at the nose and ears
and 1t Is thought he has but few hours
to live at most.
Officer Stacy went at once to Prosecutor
Bow when he saw how serious the case
was and offered to give himself up. The
prosecutor said 1t was not necessary as he
was on duty as an officer and the man
was fleeing from arrest
Mr. Stacy said TO News reporter that
he thought the man would die. He de-
clared he did not intend to hit him but
was only shooting into the ground to
scare him. The fellow had lot of mud
on his shoes and just as he shot the sec
ond load the tramp slipped and staggered
in front of the bullet.
Officer Weir said that Stacy had shot
once to the side of him to dig up the
ground and scare him and then shot on
the other side. just as he shot the last
time the tramp slipped and veered over
that way and the bullet struck him.
When brought to DIR. Posts office he re-
covered consciousness enough TO give his
name and the address of his father. The
bullet entered the base of the brain max
ing hole large enough to admit the doc.
tors finger. The brain was oozing out
with the blood. He will be taken TO he
infrmary. The chances are very much
against his recovery.

down there, and had been there a short time
when Mrs. Simler asked him to buy her
drink. He gave her a quarter and sent her

asleep. He was awakened sometime after by
man shaking him and telling him to get up
Malin wanted to know the reason and the
man said: This is my room and / want to
go to bed. Malin demonstrated, saying he had
paid for the room. The man replied, 81 don't
care what You have done you get out of here,
this my room" Malin arose and dressed and
then missed his money, some fifteen dollars.
He told the man he had been robbed and was
ordered out of the house. Malin came up

story. Officers Barnes, Slagle and Brisbin
went down to the house but the only person
they found there was Mrs. Simler She was

guilty and Mayor Rice fined her s. and costs
