lbs ACCESSlONS
Expresses the Direct Result of Evan
geIist Allen Wilson's Work,
Just Closed.

The evangelstic services at the Chris
tian church were discontinued with
the service of Sunday evening. The
total additions numbered one hundred
and forty-eight. This gospel meeting
was held for five full weeks, and was
the greatest that Bellefontaine has
seen for many a year if ever. The
church was usually filed at each SER
vice and at many services, people were
turned away who could not find room.
Evangelist Allen Wilson has proven
himself extraordinary in great work
and has been blessed with more, than
four hundred persons being added to
the church in his different meetings
since the first of last January.
He is fearless and forceful in the
work and the church here are happy
over his work, which makes the mem
bership now near three hundred.
Pledges for the support of a pastor
were taken at the morning service,
and a good man will be ex-
tended a call Immediately and installed
over our church. Mr.. Wilson will be in
over next Sunday, at
least, and will preach then. At Sun
day nights service, he gave expression
of thanks to the papers Of Bellefontaine
for their reports of the meetings.

rlRS. MARY RUTAN AT REST.

At the early dawn of the Sabbath
morn the spirit of Mrs. Mary A. Rutan
peacefully took its fight, and the liv-
ing Savior had called back his own.
For long years had she been an invalid,
tenderly cared for at the home of her
only child, Mrs. Rebecca Williams.
The brightest room of the home had
been given to the much loved mother,
and each member of the family seemed
to find their greatest pleasure in MAX
ing the dear one happy. But love
could not hold her, and some two
weeks ago she grew very i'll with acute
bronchitis, and her suffering was so in
tense that it seemed as if each hour
must be the last. Skilled physicians,
trained nurses, and tender care could
avail nothing, and tired nature must
have rest.
Mrs. Rutan was the wife of Mr..
William Rutan, who with his cousin,
Mr.. Abner Riddle, founded the Peo-
ples' Bank in 1854. Her maiden name
was Mary Magruder. She was born in
Frederick county, Va, Jan. 20, 1913,
where she lived for 16 years until the
death of her father. After that time
she made her home with her sisters
Mrs. Rebecca Riddle and Mrs. Mayne
until her marriage with Mr.. Rutan.
During her % years of widowhood
she resided with her daughter. The
only surviving members of large
family are two half brothers, Mr.. J.
M. Magruder of Marion and Mr.. James
Magruder of Mechanicsburg, who will
attend the funeral today. She was a
quiet Christian woman, member Of
the Methodist church, whose good
deeds will long be remembered. The
funeral will be held at the J. B. Will
liams home this afternoon at Up. M,
conducted by Rev. T. 81. Campbell.

PULLED!
Forty=nine Nets Lifted By
Game WardenS.
A TON OF FISH
rIostly Bass and Rock Fish
Turned Loose.
FISHERMEN MAD
A TON OF FISH
FlSHERMEN MAD
And Threaten to Shoot Officers and
Blow Up the BuIkhead.

Several wagons drove into the city
yesterday loaded with fish nets, which
had been lifted by Deputy Game War
dens in Lewistown Reservoir, Satur-
day and Sunday.
The deputies, Frank and Joe Shirley
are experienced men, and are onto
their business. They live in Ottawa
county and operate in Lake Erie,
where there are constant evasiOns of
the law, and violators are much more
wary and more diffidult to catch, than
here.
Saturday they lifted 38 nets, and Sun
day q more. They turned loose at least
a ton of fish, some being five pound
bass. AS this was only three days
catch it will readily be seen how
these wholesale violations of law would
soon strip the reservoir of all its stock
of fish.
The authorities should follow up
their work till.every net is found and
destroyed. The nets were brought
here to be condemned by the court,
and destroyed.
The men who were violating the law
in this wholesale manner became
greatly enraged at the loss of the nets,
and threatened to shoot the officers if
they destroyed any more nets, and said
they would blow up the bulkhead and
let all the water out if their nets were
destroyed.
1t is time the State would do some
thing more than destroy nets; it
ought to punish the viOlators by fine
and imprisonment.
There are ten times as many nets in
the reservoir as have been lifted. Ten
tons of fish in three days. If the
whole reservoir were school of fish,
it could not stend such a drain.

THE SPECIAL TRAIN
With Bands, Banners, and Badges
Will Leave Early Wednesday
Morning.

Everything is astir for the move on
Findlap. The State has been canvass
ed by circulars sent to the many posts.
Letters have been written to many
prominent Grand Army men through
out the State, and very favorable re-
sponses have been received, and good
and influential men are working for us
among delegates from other parts of
the State.
The prospects for crowd on the
special train tomorrow morning are so
great, that five cars will be left here
for the people of this county. At first,
the train was to bring all the cars need
ed from Springfeld; then it was
thought best to leave three cars here;
then five. So that, as now arranged,
there will be five car loads here, when
the Springfield train pulls in with its
crowd from Springfield, Urbana, and
West Liberty. Champaign county will
send large number of veterans.
The Springfield band will go up on the
train today, with our reception COM
mittee, and will furnish the music at
BellefOntaine headquarters today and
tomorrow.
The De Graft and Bellefontaine bands
and drum corps will go on the special
train tomorrow morning. Every one on
this train will be given Bellefontaine
badge and q flag, and when the train
arrives at Findlay they will march as
delegation into the city, to capture the
Encampment, nolens volens.
Our special Big Four train
will leave Bellefontaine at $50
Wednesday morning, reaching Find
lay at 900 o'clock, and will reach here
on the return at 600 or 100 in the
evening.
F. o. Batch will be Grand Marshal
of the occasion, for the Bellefontaine
