STORM INTERPRETED
With the Trip Home and The
Party Did Not Arrive Here
Till Morning.

One of those happy affairs that pro-
notes the friendly intercourse of the
young people of Canton took place last
evening at the Cassidy farm at Battles
burg. 1t was scheduled to be moon
light outing and banquet. At o'clock
those who were favored with invitations
assembled at the corner Of Tuscarawas
street and Cleveland avenue and $3.50
found them a jolly party aboard large
covered wagon which left for the de-
lightful trip, along the shady breeze
swept grooves of the narrows to the
beautiful Cassidy farm. Before arriv-
Ing at their destination they were over
taken by storm. The roads were muddy
and slippery, and the load was heavy
one. The horses became jaded and the
young gentlemen were obliged to alight
and help push the wagon over the hills.
Their destination was finally reached.
Mrs. e. X. Sobers. Mrs. Leonard. Betz
and Mrs. o. Hogue, left the city in ad-
vance Of the party to prepare for their
coming. At their arrival they were
most Hospitality received. After drying
their garments and arranging their
hair, the party repaired to the large
barn where games and strolls and all
Tic ulNST5lOHS OI tHt TtSOTL were
heartily enjoyed. DR.. Crane was the
fun maker of the evening and kept the
party In an uproar. Some of the young
ladies danced q cake walk upon the
barn floor which was very amusing.
The rain continued to fall in torrents
and 1t was not until o'clock this morn
ing that 1t ceased sufficiently to permit
the party to attempt their homeward
journey. So the evening gaieties were
prolonged. The well filled baskets,
which had already done duty at fine
luncheon were again resorted to-but
alas. all the good things had been con-
sumed. So the games were renewed.
At o'clock a. m. tired but happy
party boarded the wagon for home,
where they arrived at 8 o'clock. after
some thrilling experiences. Among the
party were: Ida Cast. Helen Murray.

Mrs. DR.. Crane. Margaret White. Emma

DENIES REPORT q
OF THR0WDOWN
John G. Welty Says He Was Not
A Candidate.
HAD CONSIDERED THE MATTER
But Thought He Would Probably Go tC
Europe and Then Gave Up the Idea
Cleveland Report Not
Fact, He Says.

During the Democratic state conven-
tion considerable was said in the news
papers about the candidacy Of John c..
Welty, of Canton. for delegate-at-large
to the national convention. 1t was de-
clared that he had injured his chances
by saying he was going to Europe and
the action Of the Eighteenth district
in supporting the Wilson delegation, of
Cleveland, was also laid UP against him.
On this point the Cleveland Plain
Dealers story Of the convention con-
tains the following:
The members Of the Farley-Salen
delegation from Cuyahoga county at
tribute their defeat to John c. welty.
who was a candidate for delegate-at-
large and secure their support on the
promise Of the eighteen votes Of Stark
county. which Welty claims to control
on the seating contest. Welty failed to
keep his agreement, the delegates after
ward declared.
The Cleveland Leader report says
John c. Welty, Of Canton, another Nc.
Lean lieutenant, is held responsible by
the Farley -Salen Clevelanders for theil
defeat, for they say he promised then
eighteen votes. and then sneaked out o.
town this morning, SO as not to be helt
responsible for not delivering the votes
MR.. wELTY TALKS.
Mr.. Welty was seen Thursday morn
ing by a News-Democrat representa-
tive. He said: "There is nothing II
that at all. Why, never was a candi
date for delegate-at-large. All thi.
talk about my running has been simply
newspaper talk. A week or so ago thert
was some consideration Of the matter
but then I was thinking Of going t.
Europe and If did that could not be 8
candidate and never was a candidate
I refused to allow my name to go before
the convention at all for the place. Ant
as to this story about my sneaking ou
of town, why I came home with Saler
and those fellows as far as Crestline.
Mr.. Welty had been reading the re
port of his candidacy for the position a.
delegate-at-large with considerable in
terest and he was quite little annoyed
that the public had gotten such an erro
neous idea Of his position. Continuing
on the question Of the deal betweel
himself and the Farley-Salen crowd, h
said: II never talked to them at al
about the matter and we had no ar
rangement Of any kind"

QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
Men Who Heard the Case Made Re
sponses to Interrogations.
HARD STRUGGLE TO DECIDE
Was Never Much Question About the
Plaintiffs Right to Recover
Something viii Take
the Case Up.

All Wednesday night the jury In the
case of Dick against Martin wrestled
In the jury room over the question OF
verdict. Attorney Ed. L. Smith finish
ed his plea to the jury. about 2:20 We'd
nesday afternoon and Judge Taylor
proceeded at once to instruct the jury
on the case. He reviewed the claims
of both sides in a clear and concise
manner and then sent the jury out just
a few minutes before o'clock.
There was a hot contest In the jury
room. Every juryman was satisfied
from the start that Martin should be
made to smart for his folly but there
were some who did not want to make
the verdict too high. The question Of
amount, however, was not what caus-
ed the hitch. Two Of the members want
ed to first decide that in the event they
found for the plaintiff, 1t should be de-
cided before hand what the amount OF
damages should be The nine members
wanted to first decide whether a verdict
should be found for the plaintiff and II
so then they would go to the question of
damages. Upon this question they
hung nearly all night, the two remain
ing firm and the nine protesting that
they should come over. Finally the
minority yielded. The question as to
the plaintiffs right to recover was then
decided in her favor The work of
fixing the amount was then taken up
and at $3.50 o'clock Thursday morn
ing a verdict was reached and sealed
up. At $3.50 the jury came before the
court and handed its verdict to the
clerk. Deputy Bliss read IT in the
presence of large crowd OF attorneys
and spectators who had become In
terested in the suit and had come in to
see how 1t had come out.
! The verdict found the issues were
'1joined in favor Of the PLAINTIFF and
RI awarded her $710. E2 .fF
s The following interrogatories had
been presented by the defense for the
Jury to answer and their answers tc
the questions were as appended:
"At the time of the alleged assault
did the plaintiff resist to the utmost oi
her strength and ability, as shown by
the evidence under all the circum'
stances?"
Answer, NO"
eat the time of the alleged assault
did the plaintiff make any outcry, al
shown by the evidence?
Answer, NO"
"At or Immediately aIter the aneBe'
assault did the plaintiff complain t
any one?'
Answer, mo"
after the alleged assault was plain
tiff's clothing torn, or disarranged, In
dicating any struggle?"
Answer, mot torn"
"At the time of the alleged assault
were there any persons within hearing
distance known to the plaintif?"
Answer, Yes" n..t
After the verdict had been read Mr.
Sterling asked that the jury be polled
This was done and then the talesmei
on the jury were discharged from
further duty and the regular juror
were lined up for further service.
Mr.. Sterling announced that he wa
not done with the case and that n
would carry 1t up to circuit court.

THE PLAINTIFF
DID NOT COME
And 30 Judge McCarty Dismiss
ed His Lawsuit.
ARNOLD MUST PAY THE COSTS.
Another Lawsuit Growing Out of the Tyler
Dificulty on Trial-Judge McCarty
Goes to Middiebranch-ve
For the Surety.

For the Surety.
Judge McCarty Thursday morning
called up the suit Of Philip Arnold
against Levi Hartranft in which the
former sought to recover about $1,000
he says he lost playing faro with Hart
ranft. The case was tried once and
the Jury brought in a verdict for the
plaintiff of $1.02. The court considered
this farce and set it aside for a new
trial. When the case was called Thurs
day morning Arnold did not show up
and Judge McCarty dismissed the pro-
ceedings for want Of prosecution and
put the costs on the plaintiff.
WENT TO MIDDLEBRANCH.
After getting rid Of the Arnold case
the court was free for the day and he
took the time to go with the attor-
neys to Middlebranch to look at the ma
chinery in the case of the Cement COM
pany against the Bonnet company
which Is under advisement.
SURETY GOES FREE.
The jury made short work Of the case
against A. M. Pointz and N. B. Bidle-
man. which was placed on trial in Judge
McCarty's room Wednesday afternoon.
Pointz owed a note Of about 500 with
Bidleman as surety. He got it renewed
from year to year for fourteen years
and Bidleman thought 1t was paid
Finally the plaintiff wanted the money
and sued to compel Bidleman to pay It.
He refused and the jury said he did
not have to. Judgment was rendered
against Pointz, however, for the amount
of the note.
| ANOTHER TYLER CASE.
Judge Taylor Thursday morning put
his Jury on the case Of Louis A. Loichot
against the Peoples Savings bank
This is another suit growing out Of the
old Tyler and Piero financial trouble
Tyler had borrowed $1,000 from the banl
and given stock in the Diebold Safe anG
, Lock company as collateral security
Later he got Loichot to 60 on a mote
for $1,000 given by Piero to JOSEPH
Dumoulin and for this Loichot wa.
assigned some interest In the stock hel(
by the bank. After the crash the banl
sold the stock and such other collatera
|; security as it had and realized $3.714 To-
! the lot, leaving a balance still due O
!. several thousand dollars that they neve
got. Now Loichot comes in and claim
he ought to have a share Of the none!
as he had to pay the $4,000 note. H
therefore sues to have the court divid
I the money and give him a share.
