VALENTINES VICTORY.
A Big Canton Patent Case
Finally Decided by
the Courts.
SIX YEARS OF LITIGATION

Concluded and Decision For valen-
tine Ney Rendered by the Court of
Last Resort at Cincinnati-An Ex-
pensive Lawsuit over a Hay Carrier
Track
An important patent case over which
Cantonians have been fighting for six
long years. was ended in Cincinnati Mon.
day. Several years ago the Ney Manu-
featuring company of this city, engaged
In the manufacture of a hay carrier and
track for unloading hay in barn. Val
entine Ney also engaged in the manu-
facture of such implements, and the Ney
Manufacturing company said that he was
infringing on their patents. They went
to the courts here and secured an injunc-
tion to restrain Valentine Ney from max
ing any more of the tracks. The case
was fought along through the circuit and
supreme court, but in the meantime Val.
entine Ney had stopped manufacturing
the carrier track I'm question, and invented
better one, which he proceeded to place
on the market.
He stocked up heavily with material,
and went to work getting out the new
carrier, but before he had sold any the
Ney Manufacturing company again went
after him. This time they went to the
| United States courts and secured an in
junction TO stop him from making and
selling his new carrier track. The case
was contested through all Of the U. s.
courts, and at Cleveland Valentine Ney
was enjoined from using the new track.
The case was taken to the circuit court of
appeals at Cincinnati, which is the court
of final resort for patent cases. 1t was
heard on Valentine Day, and Monday
night Valentine Ney received telegram
from the clerk of courts, stating that the
former decision was reversed and the case
dismissed.
This is a victory for Valentine Ney,
against the Ney Manufacturing company.
He will now be allowed to go on with his
work, which has been stopped for six
years. The Ney Manufacturing company
will have the costs to pay, and they are
heavy. Their expenses in the suit will
probably be SS,000 Besides this, it is
understood that Valentine Ney will now
begin an action against them for
damages.

YOUTHFUL ATHLETES.
The Pollock Boys Give a Private Ex-
hibitiOn to Invited
CHESTS

A party consisting of Mayor James A.
Rice, Councilman Edward Sexauer, Cap
tain Robert Mesnar, of the central engine
house, and a News-Democrat reporter,
witnessed most pleasing athletic enter
tainment yesterday afternoon, at the farm
of John Pollock, on the Louisville road.
The entertainment was private affair,
arranged for the benefit of the parties
named. 1t was out of the usual line,
and greatly enjoyed by those persent. The
participants were Paul Pollock, aged IL
years, and Dudley Pollock, aged years.
These two boys are without doubt the
greatest athletes of their age in the world,
and are bound to make their mark.
The exhibition opened with punching
the bag by Paul Pollock. He went
through all the difficult movements In a
manner that showed him to be master of
the situation. He is wonder in this line
of work. The boys also gave three
round sparring exhibition, and both did
phenomenal work considering their ages.
They are very clever boxers, while the
older boy is hard hitter. A public ex-
hibition would draw an immense crowd,
and would be worth going miles to see
Mr.. Pollock has had several offers for
the boys to go on the stage, but has de-
clined all of them. Bob Fitzsimmons,
when here, was anxious to get them fol
his speciality company this season, ant
gave the little fellows many pointers. Ii

Was Secret and Quite Lengthy-Dr.
PyIe's Name Was Not Mentioned.

The medical staff of Aultmau hospital
met last night in the mayors office, to
consider the resignation of Miss Osborne
as superintendent. The meeting was
quite a lengthy one, and all of the doctors
this morning declined to talk, further
than to say that the resolutions printed
below were unanimously adopted. 1t is
known, however, that remarks were made
by number of doctors present, and when
the suggestion of any trouble was made
to the doctors, they all smiled and saiG
everything was harmonious. The meet
ing, like everything else connected with
the hosital was secret one, and conse-

ruined A Child.
Little Twelve Year Old Girl
Criminally Assaulted
and Deserted.
THE WILLIAM HAS ESCAPED

Laura May Hershey Enticed Away
From Her Home Near OrrviiIe by a
Stranger and Brought to a Canton
Hotei-The Particulars.
One of the most dastardly crimes ever
perpetrated in Canton, was brought to
light last night. 1t was the ruin and de-
sertion of year-old girl, by man As
years OF age.
Last Tuesday q stranger driving sor-
rel horse, called at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. John w. Hershey, near 0rrville,
and engaged their 12-year-old daughter,
Laura May, as companion for his wife.
The man gave his name as George. w
Vairs, and said he lived at 10 East Third
street, Masslllon. The parents objected to
allowing their daughter to go with q
stranger, but he was smooth talker and
the child finally left with him.
The parents thought the matter over,
and finally the father went to Massillon
to see If everything was right. He soon
ascertained that no such man lived there,
and an investigation was at once insti-
tuted.
CAME TO CANTON.
1t seems Vars drove right through to
Canton with the girl, and Tuesday night
registered at the Union hotel, as George
w. Vars and daughter, Of Orrville. The
next morning Vairs borrowed s5 from
Landlord human, and that Is the last
seen of the villain.
Vars said he was going out to see
about buying another horse and as his
rig was still in the stable, nothing was
thought of the matter. The girl was
closely questioned when the man didn't
return, Wednesday night, but claimed II
was her father, and that he would be
back.
THREATENED TO KILL HER.
She stuck to the story until confronted
with the true facts, when she broke down
and made full confession. She admit.
ted that the man had ruined her, and said
he threatened to kill her If she told any
one This she gave as the reason for her
silence. The girl is q mere child, and not
even well developed for child Of her age.
Her parents are in very poor circum-
stances, and she was left without friends
or money
WILL BE TAKEN HOME.
Her father has been notified, and will
probably be after his child this afternoon.
The matter was reported to the police,
and Patrolman Wielandt investigated
and found the facts as stated above.
Every possible effort will be made tc
locate Vairs. The little girl says she was
repeatedly assaulted by him.
The rig driven by Vairs was hired
from an Orrivlle liveryman last Tuesday
and this morning was turned over to the
owner
Mr.. Hershey came to Canton this after
noon, and took his daughter back to Orr
vile. He was nearly distracted over tn,
affair. A physician was called, and gav'
it as his opinion that Vars did not sue
ceed in accomplishing his purpose.

A LONG CHASE.
WOrkhOuse Prisoner Skips and Leads
the Authorities Long
Chase

Yesterday evening about 5 o'clock Albert
Curry took French leave from the workhouse.
He was working under guard G. G. Card along
the G. G. g.. S. track, above the workhouse,
and while the guards attention was called to
a passing train, Curry started up the track at
lively rate. When he was about IS yards
away he was seen going, but with lot of
other men on hand, Card dared not start after
him.
The alarm was given, but before the escap-
ing man had been caught sight of he had
reached the woods on the west side of Maple
avenue He was traced to within a mile of
New Berlin, when darkness rescued the pris-
oner from all possible capture.
Supt. Pontius and all the guards but one
were in the chase.
Albert Curry was taken to the workhouse
from Wooster on last Monday. He was SEN
fenced by the probate court of Wayne county
to go days, $15 fine and the costs for petit lar
ceny. He is colored man twenty-three years
of age, six feet tall and weighs about 200
pounds.
Just after Supt Pontius returned from his
chase he telephoned to George Hotham at
Youngstown, who is breeder of Texas blood
hounds and who has been trying to sell one to
the work house, to come as soon as possible
with his dogs. Mr., Hotham come in at lO:2t
with two dogs and went Immediately to the
workhouse. Then he and the superintendent
started for New Berlin, where the man was
