AND THE SAFE WORKS.
Borrowed Money That the Plsintif
Desires to Recover-Other Matters
of Interest at Stark County's
Tenn DIe of Iustice,

of Interest at Stark County's
Temple of Justice.
The outlook for saloon keepers in Can
ton and Stark county together with all
other persons who khave recently been in
dioted by the Grand Jury or those who
may hereafter commit offenses (which
have heretofore resulted In imprisonment
in the county Jail, is not.very encouraging.
Judge McCsrty sentenced Alexander
Wallace, the s,loonist indicted for keep
log open on Sunday, he having pleaded
guilty. The courts sentence was that
Wallace should serve ten days in the
county jail, pay ssb and costs Of prose-
ontioD, and stand committed.
Shortly after this, and before the next
offender, rMr. G. G. Rummel, indicted
on a like charge, could be steutenced,
Prosecuting Attorney Pomerene's atten-
lion was called to the fact that where
persons were convicted Of offenses In
which the law directed commitment TO
the county jail, they m ust go to the work
house II such an institution existed In
tie county, 1t has always been supposed
that the choice between county jail and
workhouse was optional with the court,
but reference was made to Section 2099
of the Revised Statutes Of Ohio, with
special attention to this matter, Sand this
says that the tribunal "shall sente nee
the offender to the workhouss, IL there
is such a house In the county" The
attention Of the court was called to this
and to the fact that 1t was backed by
a ruling of the Supreme ooutt, and Mr..
Wall'cs was brought back and re-sen-
tenoed to the workhouse, instead of to
the county jail Mr.. Rummel received
a like sentence, these being the only
saloonists thus far to plaad guilty to the
indictments.
1t WILL therefore, be seen that all COM
mitments to the county Jail in Stark
county since tte ereoti n Of the work
house, have been illegal
Sheriff Doll wss seen by News Demo-
orat reporter and stated that he thought
the law was an unjust one II do not say
this merely because it interferes with
my business, but 1 say IL because it will
seriously affect the receipts of all who
may succeed me as sheriff Of Stark
county"
The allowance of 40 cents per capita
per day for prisoners in the county Jail
is now about the biggest source Of in
come sheriff has On the other hand,
however, it will be a good thing for the
workhouse.
Samuel Ryan, indicted for selling
liquor in local option township, was
