Swift and Hot In
Mayors Court.
His Honor and an Ex-
School Teacher
Locked Horns Over
Matters Of Learning.
Incident In Life of a Man Who
Doesn't Like to Work.

An oratorlcal contest of no small
dimensions was 'perpetrated" in May
or's court Friday morning. The con
tcstunts were Mayor Doyle, graduate
of Harvard, and Mr.. Jay Sells, for II
years school teacher in Crawford
county, who Is now driving d team
for the Akron Foundry Co. For n
while Mr.. Sells had more than II tail
hold ON the proud eagle Of victory,
when the Mayor double-teamed him by
linking his knowledge of the law with
the learning lie saturated himself with
ut college. Good shots followed fast
on both sides, but when the smoke
was blown away, it was seen that
Sells held the losers end, gafnshed
with II fine of $5 and cost.
Business began Immediately upon
Mr.. Sells being placed on the stand
to defend himself against II charge
preferred by Truant Officer Watson,
who declared Mr.. Sells had been lax
in sending one of his children to
school. "He has missed 81 days since
September" said Mr.. Watson. Mr..
Sells replied that he had nOtalowed the
boys education to be neglected, that
he had often instructed the child him
self. "My wife is dead" he told the
Mayor, "and | am keeping the children
together at our home, 3Dl East Me-
Coy st. often make their clothes
myself, and had the boy ut home TO
tit the clothes on him."
did it take you u days TO do this?'
asked the Mayor.
1t was after this question that the
heavy guns of Mr.. Sells were brought
into action. He cut loose on the duties
of II citizen, the duties of II parent and
the proper application of the law
through the avenues of wisdom, fair
ness and hOrse-sensc. Considerable
dramatic power was brought into play
and the Mayors desk was made tc
creak, when Sells emphasized his re
marks with strong hand.
BY recommendation of Mr.. Watson
Sells fine was remittcd, upon hi,
agreeing to comply more particularly
with the law.

written when he was in command IN South
Africa The communication throws no new
light the operations in the field, but ap-
pended thereto is a long list of those singled
out for distinguished mention. Lord Roberts
speaks highly Of the Canadian contingent, es-
pecially in connection with the unsuccessful
attack on Cookson's camp on March 81. 1900,
IN which. he says. the Canadian Mounted Rifles
sustained the heaviest loss of the day. He par
ucuarly comments the galantry of Lieuten-
ant Bruce Carruthers.
Among the civilians mentioned in the dis
patches are Lady Henry Bentinck. Bernard y.
Baker. president of the Atlantic Transport Line
and Mrs. George CORVALLIS West Of the hos
pital ship Maine
