JUDGE DOUGLASS
Says That Ohio Is a Doubtful
State and Democrats Have
a Chance to Win.

Pittsburg Dispatch s. Marion DOUG
lass, of Mansfield, o., judge of the state
circuit court, accompanied by Mrs.
Douglass, is a guest at the Seventh
Avenue Hotel. They are making a
brief visit in the city on their way to
the east.
Judge Douglass lives in a county that
is always counted upon as safely in the
Democratic ranks, although the venera-
BILE John Sherman lives at the county
seat, and his influence has always
stimulated the Republican vote. Judge
Douglass said at his hotel last night
that the Democratic party of Ohio had
still it's fighting clothes on and that il
would be a factor in support of Col.
William Jennings Bryan for the presi-
dency.
"Ohio is doubtful state" continued
Judge Douglass, land it will be the
fighting ground of the two parties next
year. The Ohio Democrats gave Mr..
Bryan their hearty support in the last
national campaign and he has retained
their confidence in the interim. There
is no question about Colonel Bryan be-
ing nominated by acclamation at the
convention next year"

Special to News-Democrat
Massllon, Dec. 27-Thawing dynamite
on top of steam boilers is becoming al
most as humorous as the didn't-know-
it-was-loaded gun. Few winters pass
in the great coal fields about here with
out developing a story of giant powder
or dynamite thawing entirely too rapid
ly for comfort.
Wednesday morning workmen at the
Coxey Stone Quarries north Of the city
found their supply of dynamite frozen
solid. In order to warm and dry the
dangerous sticks bundle Of them were
placed on top a big boiler in the boiler
rooms of the plant. The little sticks
thawed as rapidly as a candidate be-
fore election and becoming overheated
exploded The shock was terrific. The
top of the boiler was blown to atoms
and the sides of the boiler room was
blown out in several places. The win
dows were wrecked. Three men who
were in the vicinity when the explosion
occurred were seriously scalded by the
boiling water which was thrown in all
directions. Telephone messages called
several physicians from the city who
attended the injured men. Fortunately
no one was dangerously hurt. The dam
age done to the boilers and building
will amount to several hundred dollars.

AND KILL THE POLICE

Capt. Hoehn fell with a bullet in his
arm and one in the hip. His head was
frightfully cut from blows of a lead
pipe. The robbers dragged the uncou-
scious police detective still locked to
his prisoner with the handouts, into a
lumber yard, where the cuffs were
broken. Hulligan was found in the
lumber yard and was brought to this
city, where he died.
Capt. Hoehn fingered between life
and death, but finally recovered, and
to this day carries the bullet in his hip
and the scars of the terrible wounds
upon his head.
