.pICKERlNGs TROUBLES.
TuscaraNas County Man Wants Law to
Punish His Assailants.

New Philadelphia, Jan. 10.-Frank
Pickering, a resident Of Uhrichsvile or
Canal Dover, as inclination leiZes him,
is into trouble again. This time he is
anxious to have the son of his house
keeper, Mrs. Alice Amick. prosecuted
for helping to beat him about the head
with brass knuckles and beer bottles
in the vicinity of the c. & p. depot in
Canal Dover on the night of December
IS. Pickering claims that Charles Am
ick, assisted by two other young men,
attacked him and almost beat him to
death. He was sent to the county mfr
mary to recover from his wounds and
has, since leaving that institution de-
cided to prosecute his assailants.
Pickering has travelled far on the
downward path, getting out of one Sc
rious difficulty only to get into another.
He was arrested for assault and battery
at the instance of Mrs. Amick, with
whom he lives, several months ago, and
spent a few months in the county Jail
His case was certified from the common
pleas court to the probate court and
upon Mrs. Amick going into court and
begging for leniency for the offender he
was given only a fine and sentence, be-
ing unable to pay he was paroled by the
commissioners after few weeks but
has totally disregarded the conditions of
his parole.
Mrs. Amick's relatives have remon-
strated with her many times for her
adherence to Pickering who Is quarrel
some and cruel and this Is claimed to
have been the cause of the late diff

HERHEARTBR0KEN
Mrs. Mitchell Mourns the Disappearance
Of Her Boys.
RAN away over Three MONTHS AGO.
Fifteen.Year-OId Lad Drifts Into
Canal Dover, But Is Not
One of Them.

A lad about Is years old was discov-
cred sleeping in the stable of V. w. Ben
son, a Canal Dover groceryman, al
most a month ago. He was stranger
and wouldn't say very much about
himself except that he was looking for
work. Mr.. Benson thought the hoy ap-
peared bright and honest so took him in
and furnished him employment. After
reading Of te disappearance of the two
sons of, William Mitchell Of Chagrin
Falls, on September IS, and looking at
the pictures of the missing boys in n
newspaper, Mr.. Benson came to the
conclusion that the stranger at his home
might be one Of the lrunaways.. so noti-
fled Mr.. Mitchell to that effect
Wednesday, Mr.. Mitchell arrived in
Canal Dover and his disappointment
can be better imagined than described
when he found that his trip was all In
vain, that his hopes so fondly raised
in anticipation of the recovery of one
son at least must sink again to the
level of despair.
The little stranger confessed that he
was a runaway and that his name was
Charles Bond, Jr., and his parents
place of residence No. 165 Seeley avenue,
Cleveland. His story was verified by
communicating with his mother at that
address. Mrs. Bond was rejoiced to
learn of young Charles whereabouts.
She stated that she had been very much
concerned about his absence but felt
sure that he was searching for em-
ployment as he had always been a good,
obedent boy. Mr.. Mitchell is a we'll
to-do farmer living near Chagrin Falls.
His family prior to September Is con-
sisted of his wife and two bright sons
aged IA and 16 years. On the above
date quite early in the morning the
boys left home without arousing their
parents or leaving any explanation of
their strange conduct. Each one Of the
lads had quite considerable sum of
money, his own personal property which
he took with him. Rumors have come
to the heart broken parents that the
boys were noticed together on n street
car that day going in the direction of
Cleveland. Also that few days later
an acquaintance saw them standing to-
gether near the Soldiers and Sailors
monument-but after that time they
have as completely disappeared as
though the earth had opened and they
had fallen through out of sight or as
though they had never existed
sesIt was one of these 'nysteriously miss
Hhg boys that Mr., Benson suspected
Charles Bond to be-. Grief Is said to be
slowly killing both Mr.. and Mrs Nit
chell 1t is said the mother will burst
into tears at every gust of rain or sud-
den blast of the winter wind, imagining
her boys out in the storm, hungry and
without fit clothing or shelter from the
storm. 1t seems doubtful If the mys-
terious disappearance of the lads will
ever be explained

A GUSHER
Tremendous Excitement Down Near Elm
In TusCaraWaS County.
OIL SPURTS Higher Than DERRICK.
Fluid Is of a Greenish Hue With
Heavy BOdy...A Pocket
of Gas.

There Is tremendous excitement down
near Elm in Rush township, Tuscara-
was county, because of an alleged strk-
ing of rich pool of oil and a pocket of
gas in that neighborhood. The pres
sure of the gas is said to be so heavy
that 1t forces sand and rock so feet
above the derrick. Not disheartened
or discouraged by the failure of others
TO strike oil, the home company that
was sinking this well on the McMillen
farm, between Gilmore and Gnadenhut-
ten, has been rewarded with success
and, of course, there was great excite
ment when the strike was made.
The oil Is said to be of a greenish hue
with a heavy body. Several pals of
the greasy fluid have been carried away
as samples. The oil sand is quite fine
and grey in color. Specimens of the
sand are in the hands of parties in this
city. The manager of the company
drilling the wells for the home company,
left on Saturday night for Pittsburg
with oil and sand from the well to have
experts test the product. They have
promised to faithfully report the result
of their Investigations as to quality and
quantity this week, when they are ex-
DtCleu 10 TcluTU lHty Sldtt lHdt every
movement will be fully accounted for
in direct opposition to the course pur-
sued by other operators who drill all
wells in wildcat" territory. as mys-
teries. Many persons are strongly of
the opinion that the we'll on the Kali
farm, one and one-half miles east of
Gilmore, is not a duster Nothing
further has been done in that territory.
The derrick and all the machinery are
still standing unchanged since the drill
ing ceased. 1t is very noticeable fact
that the company is making an earnest
effort to have the adjacent land owners
agree to an extension of their leases.
This movement on their part does not
indicate worthless territory very
strongly.
The well was drilled deeper with the
result that strong flow Of salt water
rushed up and co-mingled with the oil
to such an extent that the well had to
be abandoned, for the time being at
least. A plug was driven and the cas-
ing will be drawn. 1t Is not known
where the next test will be made. ID

Getting NERVOUS
Navarro People Fear Railroad Story
Was a Joke.
BUT The line will Be Constructed
In the Spring...WiII Connect With
the Railway at MassiiIon,
II Is Said.

Navarro people are not quite sure
whether they are to get that new electric
line or not, and have been making siren
uous kicks for some time.
1t Is understood that the Canton Mas
sillon electric railway people will con-
struct that line in the spring. True, 1t
has been promised every spring for sew
eral years, but ii Is understood that the
company considers it advisable to run
the line from Massllon to the Bethle-
hem township metropolis, more to hold
its franchise than anything else.
1t is said that the company officials
concede that the line would not pay at
the outset, but it is expected that the
intersection of the Wheeling & Lake
Erie divisions will one day make Ma
varre a good town and then a street
railway will pay. If 1t pays expenses
at the outset the projectors of the line
will be satisfied. So the line is more
than likely to be built in the spring.
1t will be about six miles in length, con-
Meeting with the line at Massillon.
A dispatch from Navarro says that
the people there are getting nervous.
The special from that place says:
1t has at last dawned upon the town
that the announcement of the Canton
Massillon electric railway company
that the construction of the Navarro
extension of its line would be COM

merriment evoked, however, is not ex-

the fact that the railway company re-
