the Cleveland Avenue Crossing.

The damage case Of Nye's admins
traitor against the Pennsylvania rail-
way company will be placed on trial

ing. 1t is suit brought to recover
$4,000 for the death Of Fred Nye, son Of

The young man was killed on the
evening of January 12, 1900, by an east
bound Pennsylvania train at the
Cleveland avenue crossing. 1t was after
dark when the accident occurred, and
so far as known there were no witnesses

The claim of the plaintiff will be that
owing to a defect in the planking at
the crossing the deceased caught his
foot and was unable to get out of the
way of the train. One reason leading
to this conclusion, as stated by the at
torney for Nye, is that the sole of Nye's
shoe was torn off. 1t is also alleged

A MRS. NATION IN AKRON
She Carried Big Hatchet Under
Her Cape, and Threatened
to Smash Saloons.

Mrs. Nation, the Kansas saloon
smasher, has follower in this city who
Saturday night started out with
hatchet fully determined to wreck an
East Market street saloon, says the Ak
ron Beacon-Journal. The presence of
a big policeman, however, caused her
to change her mind and she entered the
saloon unarmed and did no damage.
At the police station Monday MORN
ing Officer Julius Mickleson said that
as he was at the corner of High and
Market streets Saturday night about 6
o'clock he saw woman carrying big
hatchet beneath her cape. He had a
talk with the woman who he said told
him that her husband had got drunk at
Dettling Brothers saloon and that she
was on her way to smash the place.
THE woman was about 40 years old
and weighed fully 200 pounds" said
Officer Nicholson. "She said she had
lots Of rich and prominent people back
of her and that she meant business. I
told her that II she went to the saloon
and created q disturbance would ar
rest her. then told her she had better
not take along the hatchet. She left
her hatchet in Wheeler Brothers gro
Gerry. store and then went down into
Dettling Brothers place. She was told
there that her husband had called at
that place, but that he was absolutely
refused any drinks. She then wanted
them to pay for the rig in which her
husband was taken home. This. of
course. they would not do and she left
the saloon and went back home"
The woman who created all the ex-
citement, was Mrs. Morris Vaughn of
l333h South Main street. Her husband
is employed by the Valley railway COM
pany. In many respects Mrs. Vaughn
closely resembles Mrs. Nation.
