INSANE Man
Arrested by Officer Doer-
Ter Sunday Evening.
Was Cutting a Hole In Door Of Resi-
dence on Fountain st.

Officer Doerler arrested an insane
man, named Peter Dory, aged 46
years, at o'clock Sunday evening.
At the time of Dorys arrest he
was attempting to cut a hole through
the door of residence on Fountain
ST., with a large clasp knife. When
the officer attempted to arrest him, the
insane man showed fight, but was
overpowered, and taken to the county
Jail.
Dory's clothes We're a mass of rags
and literally covered with burs and
Spanish needles, which had attached
to his clothes in running through
swnmps. He had more the appear
ance of n huge porcupine than a hui
man being, His mind continually
rambles from one subject to another
and from his appearance he must have
been living in swamps and woods for
many weeks.
He would give no reason why he was
trying to enter the residence by cut
ting "A hole in the door.
A Democrat reporter learned that
Saturday night the insane man also
attempted to enter several residences
in the vicinity of Exchange and Brown
street intersection. He tried to force
the door of the residence of Mr.. Peter
Brecht. The noise aroused the latter
and going on the outside, around the
house, he saw the man running away.
Mr.. Brecht shot at him twice, but
missed. The man also tried the doors
of MI Guy Chapman and Mr.. w. Il.
Ilirn's residences short time later.
They supposed 1t was a drunken man
and ordered him away.

PLOT
To Dynamite Jail
Planned by Thugs In
Local Saloon.
Had Prepared all Plans
When Arrest
OF Ringleader Was Made by a
Detective.
Startling Disclosure Of Their Scheme
Made Public.

1t has been learned that one of the
four detectives employed by the coun-
ty to gather evidence against the riot
prisoners discovered well laid plot to
dynamite the county Jail.
He made 1t point to associate with
q gang of thugs in South Akron and it
was there that the leaders of the plot
formulated their plans. He was in the
confidence of the gang and his advice
was sought on many occasions.
1t was proposed to place stick of
dynamite under the part of the jail
occupied by the Sheriff as residence.
The explosion of the dynamite was to
be a signal for rush on the part OF
the men who would be in the vicinity,
During the excitement it was believed
that the prisoners would make their
escape. AS soon as the detective ascer-
tained the plans he made the same
known to Sheriff Kelly and the plans
were nipped in the bud. At the time
one man was arrested but 1t was not
made known that he had been taken
into custody and every effort was made
to keep the news of his arrest secret.
He was afterwards released as 1t was
not believed that he would make any
further attempt to create trouble, One
of the men in the deal was well
known saloonist. His place is being
watched by officers and suspicious
move on his part would result in his
arrest.

BLOOD B

We live by our blood, and
on it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re.
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con.
tinual flow of rich blood. This
is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food, to
keep the blood rich. When it
fails, take SCOTS emulsion OF
cod-liver oil. 1t sets the whole
body going again-man woman
and child.
Well send you little to try, II you like

Gen. Dick has expressed the opin-
ion that the greatest weakness Of
Akron's form of government consists
in that it's chief executive officers are
chosen by appointment instead of
popular election. This is nothing more
than hundreds of other leading citl-
zens OF Akron, irrespective Of party,
have had to say upon the subject
But as Gen. Dick will have great deal
of influence with the Republican
branch Of the Legislature to he elected
next year, as n citizen interested in
Akron's welfare he ought to apply his
influence to have the City Commits
sioner law so amended that the Of.
ficals who now hold their offices by
appointment may be chosen by the
people.

versal peace and Christian brother
hood"

The Akron Daily Dick,-by which
title great many of the Republican
citizens of Akron are coming to know
our nelghbor, the Beacon, has not had
a word to say within the last few
days in opposition to City Clerk Is
bells ordinance to restore to the peo-
pie the right to choose the Chief of
Police. The Democrat can account for
this phenomenon upon no other hy-
pothesis than that the peerless Gen.
Dick the acknowledged guiding star
of the Beacon and the oracle to whom
many orthodox local Republicans SUI
pinely look for their daily opinions,
made speech at the City Hall few
days ago in which he declared with.
outequivocatfon that the Chief of Police,
with other officials who now hold
their positions by appointment, ought
to be chosen by the people. Not more
than month ago the Beacon was
charging, along with Gar Anderson
who did not want to surrnder his func-
tion of appointing the Chief,--that the
selection of the Chief by the people
would be "step backward" Now
that Gen. Dick has declared 1t to be
a step forward, the Beacon is willing
to take the back track from its for
mer position, and at nod from
the General, would be ready to go to
the extreme Of supporting an ordi-
nance permitting the Chief to be chos.
en- by the people. All of which goes
to show that as molder of local
party sentiment the aspiring Gar
must take his hat off to the General.

Letter TO Commissioners Show Senti.
ment of Citizens.


The people of Uniontown are en-
thusiastc over r. l.. Childs' projected
Akron Canton electric line.
A letter written to the Stark County
Board of County Commissioners evil
dences the feeling Of the citizens of
that village. 1t was called forth by
the Boards refusal to grent the fra.
chise asked for by Mr.. Childs. 1t
reads:
To the Honorable Board of Stark
County Commissioners, Canton, o.
Gentlemen: BY way of voicing the
sentiment of the citizens of Union
town and vicinity, regarding action of
your Board in so summarily turning
down the application of Mr.. r. l..
Childs, for a franchise for an electric
road between Canton and Akron, via
Uniontown, as well as for your own
since your attitude in the matter has
become known here, it has been the
subject of general and serious com
ment and discussion both by the own
ers of property fronting on the line of
the proposed route and other freehold
ers, and voters, who feel the urgent
necessity Of such line being built.
If your ears haven't experienced
burning sensation since Tuesday last
then there is no virtue in the old le
gend, for the County Commissioners
have been and are still being roundly
scored for this action in refusing to
grant the franchise for this long felt
and much sought for convenience.
1t has even been openly charged and
repeatedly asserted that when public
so generally and universally asks for
and insists upon a public convenience
and utility of this character the
County Commissioners have neither
moral nor legal right to impede it's pro-
gress or prevent it's early consumma-
tion.
The citizens of Uniontown to man,
and even the women, have been bend
ing every energy, sparing no time, ef-
fort or expense (and the same thing
is true of citizens generally along
the proposed route) in aiding this pro-
ject and bringing it up to a point
!
sioners to cooperate with them, and
they feel that their wishes and efforts
are deserving of more favorable con-
sideration at the hands OF your body
than your action of last Tuesday in
dicates.
Petitions have been prepared and are
being signed by scores urging the
Board of Commissioners to reconsider
their action in this matter and allow
this project to be carried out at as
early date as is consistent with
we'll advised plans for the public con-
venlence and safety.
Trusting that these petitions may be
received and considered by your body
with due regard for the interests of
the petitioners and many others whose
names do not appear on the list for
want of time to present the petitions
to them, beg to be
Yours for progress and public inn
provements, j. w. RICHARDS.
