THE FOSTER MURDER
Accused Men Will Sta nd Trial
Sensational DEVELOPMENTS
Looked For.

Upper Sandusky. O., April 3.-Willis
Miller, Charles Foster and nephew,
Locke Foster, Marsh Lindsay and
George Ury, indicted by the grand jury
for the murder of W. G. Johnson, the
Carey celery man, were before Judge
Young at noon Tuesday for arraign-
ment. Miller and the two Fosters
would not plead, but instead asked the
court to appoint attorneys to defend
them. Lindsay and Ury's friends have
raised fund with which to defend
them, and have retained Hon. e. l.,
Dunn, of Findlay. Dunn also asked the
court to appoint two more attorneys
to assist him. None of the prisoners
would plead, and Mr.. Dunn filed mo-
ton to quash the indictments against
Lindsay and Ury, claiming irregulari
ties in eight different reasons. This
motion will be heard by Judge Young
next Thursday morning.
The men are all alleged members
of the once famous Foster gang that
terrorized this and adjoining states for
many years, numerous crimes being
laid to them. The leader of the gang,
Charley Foster, is alleged to have
planned the job first about one year
before it was committed. Johnson
used to drive a huckster wagon from
Carey to Findlay, where the Foster
gang was located, and 1t was in this
way they learned he would always
drive home with several hundred dol
lars in money on his person.
The same night Johnson was mur
dered another wealthy man in the
neighborhood was slated for hold-up
but when Johnson attempted to de-
| fend his home and was shot by one
of the gang, dying instantly, they be-
came frightened and made their es-
cape. The tip through which the ar.
rests were made was given, it Is alleged,
by Ben Landis, one of the younger
members of the gang. Lands is held
here as a star witness against the ac-
cused, and is assisting in hunting up
testimony. II will probably be the
most bitterly fought case that has
taken place in northwestern Ohio in
a number of years, and it is expected
some sensational developments will be
made.

n. 0. T. EXTENSION.
Canton and Ravenna to be Con.
neeted by Trolley Via Akron
and Kent.

The city council of Ravenna has
granted a franchise to the Northern
Ohio Traction company for the con-
struction of an electric line through the
town. One of the officials of the corl-
pany who was in Canton Wednesday
morning, stated to a News-Democrat
reporter that work would be begun on
the new line in a few days, extending
the railway from Kent to Ravenna.
The extension will be completed by the
first of July according to the calcula-
ton of the company. This means that
Canton will have a direct trolley line
to Ravenna as the Traction company
assures the people of this city that the
line projected between Canton and Ak"
ron will be built without fail.

CAPITAL A.

". s. Steel Corporation
Amends Cha rter. w
VAST LOT OF STOCK
Officials--CharIes Schwab
Both Director and
President.

Trenton, N. j., April 1.-The United
States steel corporation filed with the
secretary Of state articles amending
its charter and increasing It's capital
stock to 81 $1,100,000,000. The state fec
for the filing of the papers was $22O,-
900. The original articles filed some
time ago were amended in one par
ticular. This amendment was made
for the purpose OF taking advantage
of an act passed by the recent legisla-
ture. Originally the corporation could
not mortgage or pledge its real prop
erty or any of the stock Of any other
company except by the Affirmative
vote OF the owners Of the two-thfrds
of the capital stock. Under the
amended charter 1t is necessary to
have only the affirmative vote Of two
thirds of the stock represented in per.
son or by proxy at any meeting OF the
corporation. The reason for the
change is the fear that the stock will
become 80 scattered that 1t would be
impossible to get two-thirds of the
entire stock represented at q meeting.

Of having passed two fraudulent checks,
Tuesday confessed that the checks were

the Garfield National Bank of New
York, and bear the forged signature of
the Semitic Chemical company.
La Sale is clever actor, and told
such plausible story about being q
detective. and showed such complete
knowledge of New York police affairs,
that the local police officers thought he
was all right, and wanted to show him
a good time. When the detectives Wis

money their suspicious were aroused,
and he was arrested.

STORYETTES.
A Crane Feas,s Upon sparrows.

"Some time ago I had occasion
to observe an interesting change
in the habits and temperament of
a crane which had been picked up
in the swamps of Arkansas" said
gentleman from one of the towns
on the Mississippi River, land the
change was startling, too. The
crane was placed 10 small park,
which was literally filled with
English sparrows. These pests
did not like the visitor from the
lowlands, and they made daily as
saults on the poor bird. The
crane was pretty fowl, long,
slender, pure white, and with the
stately stride of tragedian. The
sparrows would Systematically
swoop down on the crane in droves,
and the attack was fierce and
vicious. The crane stood the as
saults with Indifference for while,
but finally the fowl from the
swamps figured out method of
retaliation, and it was effectual.
In some way the crane learned
that the sparrow was pretty
sweet morsel. From the time she
learned it she feasted on sparrows.
She would slip up cautiously on
these pesky twitterers and throw
her yellow beak out like a gig.
She never missed the mark? She
always landed a sparrow, and a
singular part of the thing is that
she would swallow them whole,
feathers and all. But the crane
would always dampen the bird by
dipping it in one of the water
basins of the park. The diet
evidently did not agree with the
crane, and she became a trife
droopy and showed signs of in
disposition. She finally died, and
the keeper of the park believes
that the cranes death was caused
by severe case of indigestion,
brought on by eating sparrows.' p
