FUNERAL SERVICES
Held Over the Remains of
Charles Hess, Killed Near
New Berlin.

The funeral services over the remains
of Charles Hess, who was killed near
the village of New Berlin q few days
ago, were held Wednesday afternoon
at o'clock at the Zion's Reformed
church at New Berlin, Rev. Kunkle,
Of that village, conducting the cere-
monies. Hess was about II years Of
age and the son Of well known New
Berlin man.
The story Of the occurrence as -e-
lated by Joseph Smith, who was with
young Hess, Is that Hess and himself
went to Greentown to assist q relative
to roof barn. On their return home
the horse which they were driving
baked, and Hess arose from his seat
to jump out Of the buggy to start up
the horse. Just as he stood In the
buggy the horse jumped forward, and
Hess was thrown headlong out Of the
buggy to the ground, probably strik-
ing his head. Smith succeeded in run
ming the horse into a lane at the An
thony Stoner residence short distance
ahead, and then he returned to the
scene of the accident. Hess was found
lying unconscious in the road. He was
picked up and carried into a residence,
but he never revived consciousness,
and died short time afterward.

COUNTY ORPHANS TO PICNIC.
Little Ones at FairmOunt Home
to Be Brought Here---First
Picnic Ever Held.

A movement has been started that
will probably bring more pleasure to
the orphans at the Fairmount children's
home than anything that has ever been
done for them. 1t Is proposed to give
them grand picnic. They will be
brought to this city and taken to
Meyers lake for day and just simply
turned loose for a big time.
In all the history of this institution
the children have never had a picnic.
At the last meeting of the commission
ers at the home with the commissioners
from Columbiana county Mr.. Summer
of the Stark board, wanted to know
why a picnic could not be arranged for
the little folks. The other commission
ers from both counties took up with the
suggestion at once and 1t was decided
to see II 1t could not be done. Mr..
Summer has seen the street car rail-
road companies and has practically ar
ranged for transportation for the chill
dren. A special train will be run over
from Alliance and the youngsters taken
out on the street cars. There are about
150 of. them and 1t Is expected to show
them q first class time. One thing that
is bothering the commissioners now IL
to give the children their dinners. It
has been suggested that the ladies of
Canton might do this and II they viii

His BOND FORFEITED.
Failure to Make Good a Com
promise leads to Another
Lawsuit.

The M'Conahy case from Alliance
which has caused such a controversy
in the courts here and which was set
tied last fall, has bobbed UP again.
Robert MConahy. prominent citizen
of Alliance was arrested on complaint
Of Emma Mitchell who charged him
with being the father of her child.
M'Conahy was a married man and well
connected and the case was fought
through the court and the jury dis
agreed. Then 1t came up for a new
trial and while on hearing was COM
promised, BY the terms Of the COM
promise M'Conahy gave bond in the
sum Of $500 to protect the county from
the child ever becoming public
charge. The mother took the infant
but last November she was no longer
able to support 1t and the little fellow
was taken to the orphans home.
This forfeited the bond given by M
Conahy upon which his wife was surety
and Thursday afternoon Prosecutor
Day on behalf Of the state Of Ohio
brought suit in common pleas court
for the forfeiture Of the bond and COL
lection Of the $500. Attorney Roach. of
