CANTON BOY SHOT
; BEAR AT DULUTH.

Animals Which Invaded
the City Limits.


A Canton boy, not yet 16 years of
age, killed one of the many bears that
invaded the city of Duluth, Minneso-
ia, and Judge J. r. Fawcett, who has
just returned from a visit to that city,
had the pleasure of esting some of the
bear meat.
The bear slayer was Herbert Lee
Spencer, who was born in Canton. at
the corner of Eighth and High streets,
little over Is years ago. His father
is H. r. Spencer, well known in this
city, who removed to Duluth some
years ago.
Herbert. learning that bears had
been seen in the vicinity of the gar
bage dumping ground, went there arm
ed with a Savage rife, and caugh1
sight of a 800 pound bear. He fired and
killed the animal the first shot A
wagon was secured and the big brute
was hauled to his fathers home,
where 1t was skinned and dressed.
While Judge Fawcett was In the
city on business he was invited to the
Spencer home to eat bear meat. and
accepted the invitation.
Duluth Is built on the edge OF the
wilderness and 1t is not surprising to
the residents of that city that bears
are found in the corporation limits, but
to outsiders the yarns read like tale
from Munchausen.

Him.
PETITION HAS NOT been CIRCULATED

The nomination of Thomas ]. Duffy
by the Democratic congressional con-

question as to which ticket his name
shall appear upon. II the chairman
and secretary of the convention certify
to the board of elections. of the three
counties composing the district the
fact that Mr.. Duffy has been nominat-

Democratic ticket. and it matters not
how many other parties or organiza-

other ballot except that of the party
first placing Mr. Duffy's name before
them.
The union labor convention has
never as yet certified to the board of
elections of Stark or any other county

So far as these boards know, he has
never been placed in nomination. In
order to accept his name and place it
upon the independent ballot, a petition
signed by one per cent of the voters Of
the district would have to accompany
the certificate.
The union labor people have not as
yet circulated such petition, and if the

Columbus Sept. 16.-The house
committee on code decided, Monday af'
ternoon, that the Nash code fellows
could go out to swim but mustn't go
near the water. They decided TO
make the Nash code basis of calcu-
lation, but everybody who voted for
it promised to amend it SO it wouldn't
be recognized by its own father.
Here was Worthington, OF Belmont
insisting that the Nash code be the
basis, when he had in his pocket re-
E@rt of a subcommittee that recon-
mended that the Nash code, so far as
II refers to villages, be totally disre-
garded Painter, Cole and others IA
yoring the Nash code as a basis said
they would offer amendments that
would nullify it,.
4 KILLED BOARD PLAN. .
After it had been adopted the board
plan of government was killed by the
decisive vote of 20 to ).
The federal plan of government was
adopted but not followed. Instead the
plan of having one-man boards instead
of the boards provided in the Nash
code vas adopted.
Cities in Ohio will have just what
II was said in this correspondence sew
eral days ago they would have, heads
of various departments elected by the
people.
1t has already been decided that cit
its shall have mayor, a council, a
director of law, director of accounts.
a director of public works and di-
rector of public safety. On a COM
promise with the senate the public
safety plan may be a board plan, bur
more of the others will be.
BJCKED ON HOME RULE.
The proposition to give cities home
rule was met squarely in the meeting
and the Republican members bucked
at once. Thomas, of Huron, the Nash
follower, declared it was unconstitu-
tiUnal to give cities charter conYen-
tiors, that they might elect the plan
of government best suited to their
needs. Others took their cues from
him and home rule was defeated by
Republican votes.
The house had but a brief session
during the afternoon. A Mckinley me-
mortal was adopted and as a further
mark of respect the house adjourned
till 4:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.

failed most signally to materialize..
That the company was evidently
prepared to meet an objection of some
sort was evidenced by the fact that

occasion to use either argument or per-

failed to reach the surface.
The matter of passing the ordinance
was brought before the council by the

which reported favorable to granting
the ordinance giving the Stark Electri,

New York Herald, With her bride
groom-to-be in an insane asylum and
with nearly the length of a continent
between them, Miss Jenny Urania Pin
der of Key West Fla, has shown what
a plucky young Southern girl can do in
overcoming obstacles and bringing
about a climax as happy and satisfac-
tory as the end of a romantic novel
Miss Pinder obtained the liberation Of
her betrothed from an asylum at Ami
tyville, L. l., and had his sanity proved
by noted alienists. She was married
to- him on April 8, and now Mr.. and
Mrs. Abraham Gundesheimer are on
their honeymoon in Tampa, where they
have received congratulations from
their friends in this city. Mr. Gunde-
sheimer is a well-to-do young business
man of Mobile, Ala. While on a trip
to Key West he met and won Miss
Pinder, charming young woman, II
years old, the daughter of Whitmore
Pinder, a wealthy Florida merchant.
With the understanding that they were
to be married last December, Mr.. Gun
desheimer came to this city in No
vember to visit his brothers-in-law,
Isaac and Bertram Barnett, owners of
a department store at No. 2S9 Columbus
avenue Mr. Gundesheimer's relatives
preaching marriage. When he arrived
in this city he was in a nervous condi-
ton from the effects of malarial fever.
Their family doctor examined him and
advised him to go to the country to
take a couple of weeks rest. Per-
suaded to take this advice, the young
man left this city one night, accom-
panied by nurse, bound for Amity-
vile. Mr.. Gundesheimer has since told
his friends that he had no idea he was
going to an asylum for the insane. AS
it was, he did not know the nature
of the retreat until he was locked in
room that night. Mr.. Gundesheimer
improved his time by writing daily to
his sweetheart in Florida After the
two weeks had passed. however, he
could not obtain his freedom, and he
grew half frantic on learning that his
letters had all been intercepted at the
office. Selling the next opportunity
when he was out walking on the coun-
try road with his guards he slipped
another letter addressed to Miss Pin
der in a mail box Miss Pinder, in the
meantime, was in a state of anguish at
not being able to learn anything about
the whereabouts of her betrothed. All
the satisfaction she could get from his
relatives was the advice that she should
no longer think of the marriage. She
has a brother-in-law in this city, Dr.

He Struck Chords of Memory That
Drew Laughs From His Hearers.
Mr.. Davis Freeman was the last of
the speakers. "Reminiscence" was his
subject, and his "reminiscences were en-
joyed to the utmost. To many of those
present the chords he struck awoke
responsive echoes, and his references
to "Charby," "Old Foote," Harry
White" and the other savants of the
campus set the keys of memory to
a sweet harmony that was attest
ed by the enraptured applause
of his hearers. His speech was devot-
ed principally to a recital of things as
they were at the university twenty
years ago. The traditions of the insti-
tuition had descended so that to those
of classes ten years subsequent to that
in which Mr.. Freeman was graduated
his hits had meaning, while the elder
members of the club testified by their
laughter to their no less appreciation
of his pleasantries.
On the conclusion of Mr.. Freeman's
speech, the president declared the
gathering adjourned, though not until
a silent toast to the late Brantley A.
Denmark, than whom the university had
no greater friend, had been drunk.
