WILL PROBE
Into State Treasury Mat
ters.
If Cause Is Found, Investigation
Will be Asked.

Columbus, O., Feb. 20.-The men,
bers of the Finance committee appoint
ed a subcommittee Wednesday from
among themselves to quietly investi-
gate affairs in the Office of the State
Treasurer.
Several days ago Representative
Sharpe introduced resolution de-
manding an official investigation in
this office. He said that money had
been and was being loaned to banks
by the State Treasurer who, Sharpe
charged, collected interest on these
loans. No law authorizes the State
Treasurer to make loans.
This resolution was referred to the
Finance committee against the protest
voiced by every vote on the Demo
cratic side. Today the Finance com
mittee appointed Crafts, of Portage,
Hagenbuch, of Champaign, and Wells,
Of Wayne, committee TO investigate
conditions in the Treasurer's office. Ii
they report back that Sharpe has no
ground for his charges the Finance
committee will kill the resolution for
an official investigation.

A Well Known Horseman Of New

Brewster, N. Y, Feb. 20.-William
B. Fasig. the well known horse dealer,
one of the firm of the Fasig-Tipten Co.,
died at $50 o'clock last evening, at his
country place, about one mile from this
place.
He was one of the best known men
among horse lovers and fanciers in the
United States. But in Northern Ohio
especially he had an almost unlimited
acquaintance. He was one of the
prime movers In the establishment of
the famous Cleveland racing oval in
Glenyille. Then shortly afterwards,
with Col. William Edwards, he started
the movement which has resulted in
the present Gentlemen's Driving club
of Cleveland, which stands as one of
the most famous organizations of its
kind in America
But 1t was largely through the great
sales, conducted by him chiefly at
Cleveland and New York, that Mr.
Fasig became so widely known. Many
famous race horse has been sold at
these sales, which invariably drew
horsemen from nearly every state in
the union.
Mr.. Fasig was a resident of Cleve
land until three years ago, when he re
moved to a beautiful new home on the

Congress first authorized the giving of medals
to brave soldiers in 1862, when the sum of
$4,000 was appropriated for this purpose. The
country then rent with the Civil War, and
every effort was extended to stimulate the
courage and gallantry of the Union troops.
Further appropriations were made for more
medals, both for the army and for the navy.
and since that time the medals have been struck
off and given TO soldiers and sailors when their
acts of valor have won the notice and approba-
ton of the government.
With exception the Medals of Honor
have been given to individuals There was
one time however. when a whole regiment
was decora ted the 22d Maine, which President
Lincoln, in outburst of enthusiasm honored
with medals, because it volunteered to stay in
when it was not asked to perform this duty.

the face of heavy fire the Union troops re-

finally compelled to withdraw from the

Sergeant Edward Grimes, of No. 62o Column

He won his medal in the Colorado campaign

surrounded on three sides by Indians and the
supply of ammunition was rapidly dwindling
down.
I'll get some ammunition" at last said
Grimes. when there were only a few rounds of
cartridges left.
Impossible" said an officer; with the Ind
ians on all Sides they'll shoot you down in
the attempt.
Just watch" said Grimes and he started out.
He had to run a gauntlet of fire for fifteen hum
dred yards, but he spurred his horse TO the ut
most, and the recklessness of the deed so
astounded the Indians that some refraned from
shooting at him. because of the fear they might
kill a supernatural being. The horse was shot
from under him, but Grimes escaped and &C
compished his mission of alarming another
