only fellow that Vera liked. At any
rate, she bade all others stand back
and is alleged to have explained that
iaipert was supplying her with all
the clothing and finery she needed.
A Jealous rival lost no time in Civ.

county Jail Thursday morning, after
MS rather had paid his hne--$lOO and
COSTS He was to have been sent to

HAS been fixed
Building viii Go Up. But Not as High
as Was Intended.
The PARTIES Reach AGREEMENT.
Mr.. Whiting Was Out of the City.
But On His Return the
Work Proceeded.

Attorney julius Whiting, who was
out of the city Wednesday afternoon
when Fire Chief Mesnar stopped the
work on the frame addition in the ~ea!
of c. G. divers store at 219 East Tus-
carawas street, has returned home
Thursday he called on City Solicitor
Smith and asked that official for his
construction of the ordinance which
fixes the limit of height to which frame
structures shall be built.
Attorney Whiting submitted the
building contract under which the addi-
tion was being constructed. 1t appears
that the contract for the work specified
that the addition should be erected TO a
height which would be below the limi
fixed by the city ordinance.
During Mr.. Writings absence from
town, the tenant ordered the contractor
to build the addition several fee
higher than the contract called for. 1
was owing to this that the fire c.,ie!
stopped the work.
The matter has been adjusted to thu
satisfaction of all the interested parties
it is said, and the addition will be bull
of wood. 1t will be kept within tbs
limit, however.

On the Body of Melville D. Cox...Large
Sarcoma Tumor.

A post mortem was held on the re-
mains of the late Melville 3. Cox, q
number of local physicians being
present. The immediate cause of death
was found to be large sarcoma tumor
which filled the entire abdominal cavity
involving the stomach, liver, bowels and
spleen, crowding these organs out of
their natural position and interfering
with their functions. The kidneys were
also found to be congested, but not dis
eased enough to have caused death.
The portion of the tumor removed
weighed about four pounds, and parts
Of 1t that were entwined about the in
testines were not disturbed.
