Essig and VIM. A. Hammerly was
placed on trial before Judge McCarty
Tuesday morning. The case was to
have been tried to Jury, but by agree
ment it was tried to the court.
The litigation grows out of the sale of
piece of property in Canton. White
sold to Essig and Hammerly lot No. 36i,
on which was a dwelling house. The
purchase price was 81 900. which was to
be paid in installments. The first in
stallment Of $25 was paid, and the pur-
chasers who had bought the building for
the purpose of converting II into a fac
tory of some kind, were about to COM
mence making repairs, when it is claim
ed by the defendants, White demanded
a bond Identifying him against loss in
case the purchasers did not pay for the
repairs.
This bond the defendants refused to
give and threw up the contract, re-
fusing to take possession or make fur
ther payments. Suit was brought to
compel the fulfillment Of the contract.

account of an injunction being granted
by Judge McCarty to stop the sale of
property of the Dunlap Light company,

upon Deputy Stone took the matter up
and 1t is stated that he proceeded and
sold the property.
Squire Bowman stated Monday that
the injunction was not served upon him
until after the sale had taken place,
and that he was powerless at that time
to stop It,
Judge McCarty appointed Attorney
c. II. Meyer to investigate the matter
and If 1t is found that the injunction
was willfully disregarded the one who
Is guilty will be punished, 1t Is said.
Judge McCarty stated that such q
sale would not be legal unless parties

RIORDAN Case DISMISSED.
West Virginian Goes Long Dis.
tance to Stand Trial.
The Charge That He Is a Bigamist Is
Exploded In Police
Court.

Cleveland, Jan. 30.-The quiet at the
central police station was broken last
evening when the doors leading from
the long corridor were hurriedly opened
and a youthful giant strode up to the
desk, deposited a telescope case on the
desk and said: II am here"
Lieut. Regan was behind the desk.
He eyed the stranger apprehensively
and made several rapid conjectures as
to what was contained in the case. He
conjured several wierd possibilities and
in the moments which elapsed the visi-
tor took occasion to say, II am here"
1t was most nonchalant expression,
and it somewhat puzzled the officer.
Yes yes, / noticed that when you
entered" hastily said Lieut.. Regan,
Regan after the second utterance.
How are things where you came from ;
where did you come from and why are
you dropping in on us like this?" All
the interrogations were fred at the visi-
tor with great force.
II began the visitor, when the lieu
tenant interrupted him, saying II ad-
mitted you were here, that's enough;
we are well aware of your presence"
What l was going to say is,' said
the man, that this must be a very
queer police department If you want a
man and do not know what you want
him for. My name is Dennis Riordan,
I'm q years old, live in Parkersburg,
W. Va, and my wife is outside. Who
makes any charge of bigamy against
me?"
This turn of affairs puzzled the lieu
tenant more than ever and he advised
Mr.. Riordan to bring his wife into the
station from the outside and they all
| adjourned to the private office for the
purpose of Strengthening matters out.
After few minutes deliberation an Of
ficer was dispatched to Erie street and
a man named James Rogers was
brought into the station and another
| consultation resulted.
The ultimate finish was that Riordan's
name did not go on the desk blotter as
being a bigamist. He and his wife left
the station, both displaying great affec-
ton. Rogers went away a short time
| after and the story Of the affair then
came out.
Rogers lost his wife six years ago,
but whether it was by death or desertion
| he never knew. He had a dislike for
boarding houses, and as a result set
up housekeeping and installed house
keeper, who in the case was the woman
who is now Mrs. Riordan.
Year after year the two lived in the
same house and it is said that several
times Rogers expressed a desire to again
don the matrimonial toga, but the fear
that his first wife might return deferred
him. The young woman met and mar
ried Riordan several weeks ago. He
went to Parkersburg after the cere-
mony, established home and his wife
Joined him yesterday.
The allegations he made was that
Rogers claimed that he had run off with
Mrs. Rogers, and that he was married
This news reached Riordan and he came
back in great haste to stand trial and
gain an acquittal. The explanation that
there was a mistake satisfied him and
he and his wife returned to his home.

THE BUCKEYE STATE.
How the Nickname Came to be Applied
to Ohio.

Ip 1910, when William Henry Har-
rison, the first citizen of the new state
to be nominated for the presidency, was
put up as the candidate of the Whig
party, the buckeye became familiar in
song and speech all over the country.
That was known as the log cabin and
hard cider" campaign, from the fact
that the Wings took up as their battle
cry the surring remarks of one of their
opponents, who said that Harrison lived
in log cabin and that hard cider was
his favorite beverage. Instantly log
cabins sprung up in almost every town.
ship as the center of political rallies,
and hard cider flowed in abundance at
every Whig gathering. In the parades
the Ohioans mounted cabins made Of
buckeye logs on their OK wagons and
marched behind them, singing a cam
paign song which ran:
Oh, where, tell me where,
Was your buckeye cabin made?
Twas built among the merry boys
Who WELD the plow and spade,
Where the log cabins stand,
In the bonnie buckeye shade.
Thus the word buckeye became syn
OuyI1OuS WIFI oHlO, anu the tWO pIOD-
ably will be linked together until the
last Ohio buckeye shall have disappear
ed from it's native heath.
1t was during the earlier half of the
century that the nickname "the Buck
eye State" came gradually to be applied
to Ohio. The word Ohio is itself gener-
ally translated from the Indian as "the
beautiful river" On the early French
maps the stream is designated simply
as La Belle Riviere." The more prac-
tical and common place English set
tiers adopted the Indian name, first for
the river, and then for the state, as a
matter of convenience. With Yankee
propensity for nicknames, however, they
seized upon the prevalence of the buck
eye tree to designate their state. and
took pride in calling themselves buck
eye boys"
This was a highly appropriate selec-
ton, for the genuine Ohio buckeye tree,
a variety of the horse chestnut is
found only in the state and the district
Immediately surrounding it. The wood
is of soft fiber, but is difficult to burn,
and it said in Ohio that five sticks of
any other kind of timber are required to
consume one of buckeye. The early
settlers found 1t extremely useful, how
ever, in building their log houses and
barns and fences, and through their
utilization of it for these purposes they
came to regard it with pride as the EN-
blem of the state.

TEACHER SURPRISED.
Househo'ders Call at Buck HlIi School
House and Hold Picnic.

Just as the teacher had dismissed the
ton last Friday, the Buck Hill school
room door suddenly opened without
warning and in marched DR.. Joseph d.
Miller, of the district, followed by nearly
all of the householders and their wives,
and took possession of the school room
in summary manner. They asked the
teacher, Ed A. Zinnger, to surrender.
There was no alternative and the com-
mand had to be obeyed.
Mr.. Jesse Smith, sub-director of the
district, soon was mounting the door
and scrambling up into the loft. He
secured some stage boards out of which
two tables nearly the length of the en-
tire house were made. The good women
of the district soon spread their finest
linen and began to unpack the many
well-filled baskets, consisting of many
of substantial things, including vari-
ETY. of cakes and pies, the like of which
Is seldom seen at a midwinter picnic.
After the crowd had done ample JUS
tice to the dinner the tables were
cleared away, after which the teacher
called the assembled guests to order
and quite a lengthy program of exer-
cises was rendered.
Prof. L. l.. Delap, the instructor In
music for the district, was called upon
to lead the singing. Many of the pupils
gave recitations that were well re-
ceived. Selections of various kinds were
rendered by Laura Brown, Mrs Eo.
Brown, Mrs. Doll, Mr.. ]. j. Smith, Mr..
Hess and others.
After the literary exercises were
brought to close the teacher called
upon the householders personally, and
the following responded: Joseph Miller,
Mahlon Brown, J. j. Smith, Levi Smith.
Henry Rindchen, Mr.. Wenger, J. e.
| Martin, and others.
| Mr.. Zininger then made the closing
address in which he thanked the neigh
bors and friends for their unceremonious
presence, acknowledged his surprise,
and spoke very feelingly of the many
kindly words said by the assembled
| householders.
The day was one that will be long re-
membered by the citizens and pupils
Of Buck Hill, and the teacher will al
ways look back to the, day as one in
| the history of his career as a teacher,
this being his twenty-fifth term.
Between the holidays the scholars pre-
sented the teacher with very fine gold
pen and holder, for which he was very
thankful, considering it tribute of es-
TEEN and respect in-which they hold him
as an instructor.
