RAT HUNTS IN OHIO.
Opposing Armies Frequently sesor
to Trfckery.


to Trickery.
Rat hunts are becoming very common
in these parts, says o Bloomingburg
(O.) correspondent, and it is just being
discovered that some very smooth
tricks are being played by the oppos-
ing armies" Of hunters. A rat hunt
has Just been concluded here in which
11,455 rat tails were counted, and n
supper was given to the winners. One
crowd brought in 6,so2 tails and the
other 1853 tails. 1t now leaks out
that one of the leaders of the winning
crowd bought from parties at Madison
Mills who had recently held rat hunt
1,4s6 tails, paying one cent each for
the first 1000 tails and two-thirds of
q cent for 4s6 Of them, the tails cost
ing more than $12. This enabled this
crowd to come out victorious. When
the tails were purchased man from
another place was present, but was not
willing to pay so much for the tails.
When the 11,455 tails were counted
out here a man was present from
Plain City and offered to give $25 cash
for 1900 rat tails, but they were all
burned. and he was not allowed to take
any away. 1t now appears that the
same rat tails frequently win victories
in many different rat hunts

MARSHAL DYES STATEMENT.

The Head of the Police Force Tells His
Version of the Mosweeney Story.
Mr.. EDIToR-I wish to make sta te-
ment as to the official action of myself
on the night of the murder of w. E.
Mason. / was notified by telephone
through Policeman Knox to come to
Pearl street. as Mason had been cut by
McSweeney. went Immediately
from my residence, arriving there at
10.30. On my way over met two uni
formed policemen. did not ask them
to go with me, or any one else. When
arrived there l met Policeman Knox.
/ asked him if he had made any effort
to locate McSweeney, and he said he
had and couldn't get any clue to his
whereabouts. I went Immediately to
get statement from w. E. Mason.
He gave me his statement that Morgan
McSweeney was his assailant. went
from there Immediately to the resi-
dence of Morgan McSweeney and there
Imethis daughter Mary. Her state
ment to me was that her father had
been to her house about one-half hour
before / arrived there and he said to
her 81 will get you next" and then he
started in the direction of Harmar
Hill. knew how dark the night was
and knowing McSweeneY's shrewdness
to evsde arrest, informed his daugh-
ter that I,would keep guard at her
house all night, which did. On leav-
ing her, met McSweeney's brother
Pat and he claimed he knew nothing
of the whereabouts of his brother but
he thought If he was in the immediate
neighborhood he would turn up inn
mediately after the crowd would leave
and he would adyise him to come over
and give himself up to the authorities
] knew there were not enough in
formed policeman in Ohio to capture
Morgan McSweeney ON that dark
night, so lei. the impression with his
brother Pat that that would be sat
isfactory to me. So / came oyer the
river TO police headquarters and then
hons and put on my old hat and went
back ON the West Side and was there
until about 8 o'clock a. ~. Came back
over and was over again at a. IN. and

of the European brain is from 40 to SO

Everybody Talked mt the Meeting Tuesday
Evening.
Respectfully.
j. III. DYE.

Evening.
Council met in regular session Tues
day evening with the unusual number
of eleven mem bers in their seats, as
Hardy, Bachman, Price, Wood, Traut-
man, Garrison, Pfaff and Mcclure.
Clerk Becker, Solicitor Richards, Engi-
neer Mason, Commissioner Best and
Marshal Dye were also present.
The minutes af the previous meeting
were read and approved.
Building permits were granted to e.
L. Kraft, on Scanned street, and W.
Alexander, on Fort street, West Side.
A communication was received from
N. G. Seipel, theatrical manager, in
which he made proposition to lease
the Auditorium for a term of five years.
The requirements of the proposition
are that he shall have the exclusive
control of the booking of outside shows,
guaranteeing to occupy the Auditorium
with entertainments on at least forty
nights each season, at the present rent
al, and to give the Council control on
all local and free entertainments. He
further agrees to pay rentals in full
monthly and give bond of 81. 900 for
the fulfillment of any contract entered
into
The opinion of the Solicitor was
asked and that official quoted the law,
stating that Council could rent the
Auditorium as they saw fit. A lengthy
discussion indulged in by the members
finally resulted in a motion by Bach
man to refer the communication to the
Building committee, with two others to
be named by the President. The mo-
tion prevailed and President Mcclure
appointed Price and Wittlig as the
extra members on the Committee,
which was instructed to investigate
thoroughly the entire matter OF renting
the Auditorium and report at the next
meeting.
Mr.. Trautman, chairman of the spe-
cial committee appointed to consider
the naming of certain streets on the
West Side, reported that the committee
had met and and decided to take no ac-
tion, but leaYe the question as It stands.
The report was accepted by unanimous
vote.
Nc Cochlan called attention to the
electric light in the train shed, at the
Union Depot, stating that the Railroad
Company had not paid for the lamp as
originally agreed, and offered motion
to have the light removed. After each
member of Council had taken about
four whirls at the subject it was decid-
ed that the building committee consult
the Railroad Company, with view to
reaching an agreement whereby the
city will be paid for the light.
The Engineer requested that he be
given specified width for the paving
on Washington street to enable him to
make his estimate of the cost of the
work. A motion that he make his esti-
mate on forty-foot street prevailed
after some discussion.
Mr.. Eyessen, for the Board of Educa-
tion, requested the free use of the Audi
torium for Friday afternoon to give
the school children chance to witness
the concert rehearsal which was
granted by unanimous vote.
