A Farmer Had Kept Money In
His House.

Palnesyillc, o., April 9.-Lyman Ry-
der, the farmer in jail here for compile
lty in the burglary of John Lennon $
house ut Little Mountain Thursday
night, made confession to Marshal ID.
i. Connell yesterday, duplicating two
others, Frank Brannagan and Tom
Coughlin. Rrannngan and Coushlin
have both left for parts unknown.
Rydcr's story of the crime gives his
two companions the credit of putting
up the job.
Last fall the trio were employed by
John Quigglc, Il contractor, grading
the roads near Churdon. One day
John Lennon drove by while they
We're ut work. ANA Quiggle, according
to Rydcr's story, made the remark
that the old man had lost three or -FOUR
thousand dollars in the Paige bank
failure at PaincSyillc, and could not bc
induced after that to place his money in
banks, but that he kept 1t in his mouse.
Later, Ryder told Marshal Connell.
Brannagan and Coughlin went to Ra-
VIENNA, and while there read the ac-
count of David X. Paige, of New York,
paying up all his indebtedness. Think
ing that all the dcpositors of the
Pninesvillc bank, including Lennon,
had received their money, and remcm-
herring Quigglc's remark about keep
ing his money in the house, the two
men, so Ryder says, returned To Little
Mountain several days ago. and, get
ting Ryder into their confidence, plan
ned the burglary, thinking to make
a big haul,
Ryder says they expected to find the
old man alone, ana snndbag him, Ry-
der says that he advised going back
when they found the house fun of
ncighbors, but that BrannaGan grabbed
the shotgun which he carried and in
sisted ON seeing the affair through
and that RrannagNn did the shooting,
Ryder claims to have received only
S1i of the stolen money.

INVENTOR
Declares the Bicycle to be the
Perfection of Mechanics.

A noted mechanical inventor being
asked TO dinner given in his honor,
What after the bicycleW replied:
"Gentlemen, there will never be any
successor to the bicycle" And when
asked to give his reason for so posi-
tive statement explained:
Because there can never be less
amount of material put together with
greater skin, that will answer the pur-
pose of human locomotion with greater
pleasure and ease, or ut less original
cost and current expense to the rider.
To consider its lightness; its delicate
beauty of appearance; strength and
endurance; the price at which it is
sold; the use it serves and the pleasure
and health it gives the rider, it must
unhesitatingly be pronounced the con-
summate achievement of our mechani-
cal development and the most bene-
ficent contribution that invention has
made TO civilization. 1t is so unique
and superlatlvely perfect that it has
no rival and can have no successor"
