Lilies, white lilies, ye calm my SOUL
For the waters are wild aqi the billows roll,
And love and trust have driited away
Like the distant sail the breast Of the bay.
In moment more twill haze Gr,ted from sight
And be hidden away in the waste OF night!
And then ye came with your pure, sweet gaze,
With your dainty, winssmc, loving ways,
And crept ike dear dream into my heart,

For the fragrance that loats your bllmy

To Inc whispers peace though the world calls

In a Local Paper
ha t Grip Converse Is a
Noted Criminal,
| Wanted From Maine to
| California,
As a Desperate Character and
Man of Many Crimes,
Is Laughed at by Members of Force,
Says Chief Dunn.

Acting Chief of Police Dunn rdi-
cules the story printed in a local
paper in reference to Grip Converse.
1t was claimed that he was noted
criminal wanted from Maine to Cali
fornia for many serious crimes, and
that he was known as the killer"
This statement laughed at by the
members Of the Force.
Converse" said Chief Dunn, 'is
nothing more than a petty thief, of a
kind that would probably rob a rail
road box car or chicken coop, but not
skillful or intelligent enough to be

with being | have known Converse

about him. He was born and raised
at Kent, and has always resided in this
vicinity.
shortly after the Line store was
robbed in Kent, year ago, worked
for awhile on the case. and recovered
part of the stolen goods, but what evil
dence | secured, did not warrant the
arrest of any persons. Suspicion did
not point to Converse.
"A short time after the Kent rob
berry man named Stokes was ar
rested ON n charge of stealing two pair
of shoes. He was in delicate health,
and upon the request of his physician
was released and died week later.
! The local paper stated this man was
n partner of Conversc's, and made n
confession which stated that he and
Converse were the ones who robbed
the Line store.
81 have been informed on good au
thority that no such confession was
made by Stokes.
saturday the County Prosecutor of
Portage county, the Kent Marshal and
a Constable came to Akron TO take
charge of Converse. The former in
formed me that there was no DIRECT
evidence against the prisoner. He
desired TO learn what | knew about
the case and gave him
the evidence l had collect

lylafter the robbery occurred, none Of
which pointed toward Converse as
being the guilty person.
"The Portage County Prosecutor ex-
pressed the belief that it would be a
hard matter to prove that Converse
was implicated in the Line robbery,

The business of farming ought to be

The farmer should know chemistry,

woods and fields around him, does not
go far wrong.
As class farmers do not have the

succeeded in removing most of the val
uables on the lower floor, but the
house and remainder of the goods
were total loss, there being no insur-
ance. The loss is estimated at about
$500.
