RESISTED.
Hungarian Made 1t Dan.
gerous For a Constable.
Very Serious Trouble Resulted From
Horse Trade.

jeff Null of Portage tip. about two
weeks ago traded horses with a
Hungarian, named Budion, who
lives in the Copley swamp district,
near the line between Copley and
Portage townships. The conditions
of the trade We're apparently salts
factary to both men, but when few
days ago Mr.. Mull's new horse
slipped its halter and returned to its
former owner, the Hungarian locked
it up and turned his new horse loose
which also returned to Mull's barn.
Null took the animal back and de-
manded the horse he had got in the
trade. Budion refused to give it up,
claiming that he had been cheated in
the deal.
Securing a writ of replevin, Null
placed it in the hands of Constable
Grant Bowman, of Portage township,
who started out to recover the horse.
Going to Budion's farm, he decided
to go direct to the stable, get the
horse and when leaving. serve
the writ on Budion, whom
he had. seen working in
garden near the road. AS soon
as the Hungarian saw the constable
coming he crossed the fence and,
jumping between the horse and
buggy, Mr.. Bowman having been
leading the animal with a hitching
strap, he frightened the horse, which
broke loose and returned to the stable
again. While the Hungarian was
performing this act, the constable
caught him by the vest and dragged
him quite a distance before the cap
tive managed to slip loose.
Constable Null then left the scene,
but soon returned with David Getz,
whom he had deputized to assist
him. When Budion saw them COM
ing, he sounded an alarm which soon
brought his wife and son to his aid,
besides reinforcements from the eth
er residents of the swamp. When
the constable and his deputy started
to the stable, Budion and his allies,
who were armed with pitchforks,
began brandishing their weapons in
a threatening manner. Budion's son
fOurished a revolver, and in response
to the deputy's question as to wheth-
er it would shoot, the young Bohunk
fired bullet in the air, giving evil
dence that they were prepared for
business.
After consultation, Constable
Bowman and his assistant decided to
abandon the idea of getting the horse
by force, but instead secured a war
rant for the arrest of Budion. In
formation was made against him be-
fore Squire w. F. Coleman of Por-
tage tp. If Budion can be found he |
will be arraigned Wednesday even
ing.

Dear Sir: I desire to resign my

In explanation why the letter was
withheld, the superintendent had the
following to say today:
'!Inasmuch as L did not want to do
Mrs. Sproul any injustice, and know
ing that she did not intend to resign
until the school year was up, after
reading the resignation of Miss
Weeks, who resigned on account of
i'll health, L simply stated to the
Board that Mrs. Sproul was not a
candidate for reelection. Had L
read her letter, that she sent to me,
and had the Board accepted the res
ignation as written by her, Mrs.
Sproul would not have been one of
our teaching force after May 9.
Knowing that Mrs. Sproul wished to
hold her position until the close of
the school year, June 8, did as did
for the purpose of enabling her to

Good, Heg|hy Food.

New England Bread was first
made and introduced in Akron by
the Model Bakery, at 1O6 S. Howard
st. Since that time there has been a
great many attempts to produce this
same bread all to the detriment of
the original. To those who liked the
flavor of the first and only New
England Bread baked in Akron, will
say that you can get the same kind
of bread, made of the same mater
ials as was the first you liked so well L,
if you will go or send to the Model
Bakery, or ask our wagons for this
bread. 1t is strong bread, very
nourishing, being made from half
corn meal. Ask for Model Bakery's
New England Bread. Phone 394.

The Thomas Affair.

In referring to the cases of the
Misses Anna Thomas and Mary Baird
he said: lone year ago Miss Anna
Thomas was in poor health. She was
out of school great deal of the time.
During midwinter, at her request,
she was placed on half time. l ad-
vised her not to work at all. When
Miss Latferty left Miss Thomas was
given work on full time again. Five
weeks ago I called her to my room
and said, i cannot recommend YOU
for reelection next year. She went
away and came back. [ then told
her that if she could convince me
that her health was all right 1 would
her reelection. She fur
n1shed me with certificates from
three physicians and I then recon-
mended her reelection. When /
came to the Board of Education
two weeks ago / had no
more idea that Miss Baird was not
to be elected than ] did that Mr..
Burney was not TO be re-appointed."
He continued: "If an investiea-

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Heavy Selling Orders Checked the
Enthusiasm In Wheat.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Unfavorable news
from abroad gave wheat q weak streak.
vance here yesterday, but on the con-
trary was I'D lower and the continental
market also tended downward, while all
aovices continued to speak very encourage
ingly of the outlook for a large yield in
Argentina and India.
May opened 1sdAc lower at 705sGTOa
and although the crowd was inclined to
buy, their enthusiasm was checked by the
execution Of heavy selling orders for
futures from the United Kingdom in the
hands of commission men. The north
western receipts were quite moderate
however and that in the minds of local
operators partially Offset the bearish
news from abroad. Wall street stocks
and cotton were both strong to begin with
and that was considered another and still
more important reason for disTegar6ilg
the depressing aspect of the European
news. the consequence being that the
weakness at the opening was in short
time replaced by spasm of sentimental
strength and May wheat rose quickly TO

worked for export at an early period of
the session and one of the many small
successes Of the bulls in the days mar
ket followed that announcement. Senti-
ment in favor of higher prices. however
exhausted itself an hour or so from the
close. when it was found that there was
no demand for spot wheat at 3iA cents

the end early purchasers became sellers,

Oats followed corn closely, being in

Higher prices for hogs, lack of offerings
and the seadiness Of corn held provisions
firm at a small advance. Pork lard and
