An Alliance Man Will Have to
Pay the Penalty for
Non-Support.

The jury in the case of Ohio against
Mason A. Massey. of Alliance, return
ed a verdict Thursday evening in pro-
bate court finding the defendant guilty
as charged. Massey was charged with
failure to support his two minor chill
dren, who were in the custody Of his
divorced wife. The details of the case
were published in Thursdays News
Democrat. Massey expected to be ac-
quilted. 1t is stated that the prosecu-
ton offered to drop the case II he
would pay the costs, but this he refused
to do. He showed some chagrin when
the verdict was announced.
Probate Judge Aungst asked the pri-
soner to stand up after the verdict had
been reported to the court. The Judge
said that he wanted Massey to thor
oughly understand the situation that
he was in. The law was that he might
be sentenced to the penitentiary for
not less than year, or sent to the
works from three months to one year.
with fine and costs. He could escape
the penalty by paying the costs, which
amount to $49.75, and giving bond in
the sum of $1,000 for the support of the
children. He understood the prisoner
wanted to give the bond.
Massey said he did not know whether
he could arrange the bond or not, but
that II he were given little time he
would try and do so. The judge then
said he would defer passing sentence
until Saturday morning at $780, when II
the bond was not furnished he would
send Massey to the workhouse. In the
meantime he was to be in the custody
of the sheriff.

THE PIGEON FLIGHT.
Rem arka BILE Time Made by One
Of the Birds Liberated In
Canton.

Agent Mcdonald, of the American
Express company, Friday morning re-
ceived letter from the secretary of the
Buffalo Homing club announcing the
result of the flight of the hundred or
more pigeons liberated here last Tues
day. The winning bird belonged to
f. p. Fetes and made the trip in record
time, according to the secretary. The
time was considered so remarkable that
the club makes especial inquiry about
it, asking If the bird had not been
liberated before the others. as 1t reach
ed Buffalo over an hour ahead of them.
When the birds were liberated here,
one of them started directly on its
flight while the others hovered about
for a little over an hour. The peculiar.
ity of the start was mentioned in the
News-Democrat, Tuesday. Nearly all
the birds reached their destination safe
ly. The winner made the flight at a
speed of 14s2.95 yards per minute. or a
little less than mile minute. The sec
ond bird made 1194.98 yards per min
ute and the others from that down to
900 yards. All times are calculated on
the flight per minute. The time means
little over three hours from here to
Buffalo. The secretary compliments
Agent Mcdonald very highly on his
care of the birds and his good judgment
as to weather conditions in releasing
them when he did.

Lynch Was Not Ready to Apply
For Right to Build to
Navarro.

President William A. Lynch, Of the
Canton-Massillon Electric Railway COM
pany appeared before the county corr.
missioners Friday morning and talked
over in an informal way the matter of
franchise for an extension of their
line from Massillon to Navarro. 1t
was expected that the petition asking
for the franchise would represented at
that time, but Mr.. Lynch did not have
the consents of the land owners along
the proposed line with him, though he
stated that they had been secured, nor
were the terms of the franchise reduceG
to writing. The matter will be taken
up next week some time and receive
the attention of the commissioners.
The commissioners at their Friday
mornings session allowed the following
bills:
II. A. Smith, blacksmithing for work
house, 1910; T. H. Smith, stamps, $50;
j. r. Rose & Co., care of clock for six
months, $52; Laning company, books

WENT OVER The LINE.
Commissioners and Railway
Men Go Over Route Of q
Proposed New Line.

Massillon, June 21.-A party consist
ing of President Lynch and F. III. Kill
linger, of the Canton Massillon Street
Car company, and Commissioners
Crawford and Johnson, went over the
proposed line of construction of the
Massillon and Navarro line. The OBJ
ject of the trip was to examine into the
matter of bridge crossings in particular
and minor matters In general.
1t will be remembered that the cleo
trio road company held a conference
with the county commissioners some
time ago regarding the matter Of Sc
curing franchise over the public high
way from the city limits of Massillon TO
Navarro. At that time the matter of a
franchise was allowed TO rest until the
commissioners and the officials of the
road could go over the route together
According to an agreement that trip
was made Wednesday and the question
of franchise discussed. r
The one matter that gave some
trouble In the question of granting the
franchise was that which referred tc
the crossing of the stream of water on
the route. At that point there will
have to be either grading or trestle
work. This was discussed and the con
sencus OF opinion was that the best
way to do will be to grade that par
Of the line.

Gen. chaffee SO Says In His Report
on the Chinese Campaign.
Rioting INDUCED in.

Washington, June 21.-The report
Of Major General Chaffee on the cam.
paign in China is being prepared for
publication at the war department.
At one point he said: 5F filAl ,
For about three weeks following
the arrival Of the relief column at
Peking, the condition in and about
the city and along the line of com.
munication was bad. Looting of the
city. uncontrolled foraging in the sur
rounding country and seizure by sol.
diers OF everything Chinaman nigh,
have. as vegetables. eggs. chickens,
sheep. cattle, ETC., whether being
brought to the city or found on the
farm; indiscriminate and generally
unprovoked shooting Of Chinese, in
city. country. and along the line Of
march and the river-all this did not
tend, as was natural. to gain for the
troops the confidence of the masses
with whom, 1t is certain, we have no
quarrel, but we're in need Of their
labor.
ut Is safe to say that where one
real Boxer has been killed since the
capture Of Pekin, SO harmless coolies
or laborers on farms. including not q
few women and children, have been
slain. No doubt the Boxer element
Is largely mixed with the mass Of
population and by Staying a lot. one
or more Boxers might be taken in"
General Chaffee speaks Of the re.
btraint he placed upon the American
troops. The Japanese commander
Also made 1t known that the general
war on all classes was not intended.
General Chaffee says he opposed
entering the Forbidden City unless
looting was prohibited. This was
agreed to and he thinks but little
looting has been done there, though
articles have been offered for sale
said to have been taken from the For
bidden City.

rested Thursday night on the charge

his first offense. Thursday morning
the mayor listened to long tale of woe
from the penitent man and finally dis
missed him upon payment of a fine Of

on his person when he was taken, but
made satisfactory arrangements for a
settlement by the first Of July. 81 have
