BOARDER
Refused to Pay His
Keep,
And Also Made Love to
Mrs. Yemma.
Her Parents Caused His
Arrest.
Mayor Doyle Gave Wholesome
Advice and Light Fine.

If ever there was an unwelcome
boarder, Police Court testimony re-
vealed, Monday morning, that Joseph
Nnpper is that person. He has been
staying at the home of Peter Degre-
gorio, on North Howard St, and Peter
declared not only that Joseph refused
to pay his board, but that he also
presumed to make love to married
daughter Of the house, Mrs.
Maggie Yemma, whose husband is at
present out of the city. Things came
to such pass, in fact, that the mother
of Maggie claims that she and Joseph
had figured out all the preliminaries Of
an elopement.
81 never tried TO elope with the
girl" said Joseph. II told her that
maybe, il her husband didn't treat
her right, and she would get a di-
vorce, | would marry her. That's
all there was to it."
Romona Degregorio, the mother Of
Maggie, had Joseph arrested Saturday
on the charge of disorderly conduct,
as she alleged that the prisoner had
called her some bad names, not only
in English, but also in choice Italian
Romona was unacquainted with the
English tongue, and her testimony
was interpreted by her young son,
Michael, who was very proud of the
honor, and repeated the bad names
which caused the arrest with great
gusto, while translating testimony.
Napper states that the Degregorios
have his clothes and will not give
them up. He was found guilty of dis
orderly conduct and fined 81 and costs
by Mayor Doyle.
"You better stay away from the
Degregorios," said the Mayor to Joseph
Some of these times Maggie's hus-
band will return and jab stilettO into
you.'

A RED HOT
SNAKE STORY
From Tallmadse Via Cuyahoga
Falls.

Justin Dimick, a well known Tall
madge farmer, recently, while walk
ng through his woods, noticed a large
black snake stretched upon the leaves
summing himself. Being determined to
rid the woods of the serpent, he grab
bed a piece of rail about three feet
long, lust as the snake started for his
hole. Mr.. Dimick ran after him, up
and around the pretty little mountain,
which is one Of the highest rocky
points in Summit county, and caught
up with the snake just in time to see
the last two feet of the snake dis
appearing in among the rocks. Spring
ing. he grabbed hold of the tail upon
which he pulled and tugged with a
herculean effort, his foot being braced
against a rock, but the snake having
coied himself around big stone, did
not come, and he finally pulled 1t in
two in the middle.
Surprised at the size of the piece in
his hand, he resolved to dig for the
remainder so with crowbar, pick and
charge of dynamite he soon got the
whole snake together, and found him
to be over eight feet long and as large
around as his upper arm.-Cuyahoga

FRANCHISE
For That South Akron
Electric Line.
II Will Come Before Council at
Next Meeting.

The franchise for street car line in
South Akron will come before the new
City Council at It's next meeting.
The citizens of South Akron have
been working in the interests of the
franchise ever since the company de-
cIared positively that ii would not ac-
ccpt II franchise which included n
three-cent fare clause, and they now
believe that the ordinance will be pass
cd without the clause.
The line Is badly needed in South
Akron, they are arguing, and they
further claim that the growth of that
section Of the city will be much faster,
If IL Is built. The new plant of Web
ster, Camp \ Lane will employ 800
people, and the Peoples Hard Rubber
Co. viii also give employment to n
large number of people at its new
plant.

SPORTS.
VERY TAME.

indianapolis. Ind, April 2S.-Andy
Bezenah. of Cincinnati. and Willie
Stout, of Memphis, were billed for
1o-round go Saturday night, in West
Indianapolis. The affair was badly
manager, and because of the small at
tendance the principals only boxed
five rounds. There was no attempt at
Knockout.
ANENT THE LEAGUE.
Base ball, beyond IL doubt, has come
TO stay, and all haste will be made
TO officially open the season here as
soon rs possible. 1t is stated that
there is some regret among the man
ayers of the city league that the work
of preparation was not completed soon
enough to permit the opening of the
schedule mt an earlier date than that
now fixed. When the opening comes,
however, IL will be one of splendor.
The parade of all the teams in their
new uniforms, the playing of the band,
and the stately bearing OF the man
ayers of the teams us they ride past
in the tally-hos, will doubtless live long
in the memories of all who see them.
GUS Is HAPPY.
Big Gus Eul!lfn Is said to be over
joyod now that he is actually signed
fer eight with Sharkey in London,
next June. Gus and his friends realize
that he has had run of misfortune
covering long time and costing lots
of money. The work of the "Akron
[innt" while helping Fitzsimmons to
hain Is said to have helped him won
herfully and given him some of the
craftiness which was lacking in his
earlier performances. Rubin had no
great difficulty in defeating Sharkey
before, and II is predicted that he will
have less trouble, the next time.

lBRnGit Tracey Killed.

\ deputy sheriff abd four citizens Of
Creston, Washington, found Bandit
Tracey at Farmer Eddy's ranch Tues
day sfternoRn aud followed hun closely
until night. a pitched battle took place.
but none Of the purs uers were hit.
Tracey hid behind a rock and fired
eight ehots, but seeing that he was not
hitting his p%ursuers, he made a dash for
a wheat field. Just us he was entering
the field he stumbled, falling on his
face, and crawled on his hands and
knees. 1t was dusk when Tracey enter
ed the field and his pursuers did not
dare to follow. They surrounded the
field and waited for daylight to come to
their assistance. Shortly after Tracey
entered the field a shot was heard
coming FROM about the spot to which he
had crawled.
No investigation was made until norm
ing when the dead body Of Harry Tracey
was found lying amid the grain with
his face turned toward the sky. His
left hand WAS thrown over his head and
held a 4o.calibre Colts revolver which
had evidently inflicted the death wound.
The thumb OF his hand was on the
trigger OF the pistol, his right hand,
thrown across the lower part Of his body
firmly graspe3 the barrel OF the famous
1920 Winchester.
The body was cold when found, point
ing to the belief that the shot heard by
the guards about S o'clock last evening
was the fatal one
Upon examination it was found that
the wound which resulted in the out
laws death was inflicted by a i5-calibre
revolver held close to the forehead. The
Top OF his head was badly sha tered.
Two bullet wounds ON the left leg
showed the cause OF the mans despon.
dency. Oue shot had broken the leg
between the ankle and knee, the other
cut the tibial artery. which Of itself was
sufficient to cause death.
1t is believed tIat both these wounds
were received after the convict left the
shelter OF the rock and made the break
for the wheat field.
The murderer nae taken a strap and
buckied it tightly around his leg III an
attempt to stop the bleeding. Despite
the tightly fastened strap the bleeding
continued, until he probably realized his
hopeless condition, and ended the strug.
gle. lie was dressed in blue overalls, n
