His Original Idea.

"Hi, there, but you cant get on this
car with that bundle" called a Fulton
avenue car conductor to man with a
bundle almost as large as a bale of hay.
"But it's raining" protested the man.
81 know that"
"And it's been raining for two days"
"Yes, and it'll probably rain all day
tomorrow as we'll But that's got moth
ing to do with that bundle"
"But it has, you see. I've got 300 dry
sponges here, and I'll sop most of the
wet as we 90 along"
The conductor was struck by the orig
inal idea and helped the bundle aboard.

DANGEROUS
CROSSINGS

Complaints have been coming in to
the county commissioners as to the
dangerous and inconvenient character
of the road crossings along the line of
the Stark electric railway and also
along the line of the Cleveland G.
Pittsburg railway.
Farmers complain that the ap-
proaches to the crossings along the
electric line are of such q character
that heavy loads cannot be pulled over
them The track was elevated above
the grade of the roadway and the ap-
proaches were made short and steep,
are narrow and almost impossible.
The complaints of the G.. & p. come
especially from the vicinity of Lima
vile In Lexington township. where
there are two very dangerous crossings
and where accidents have occurred.
Tho road is preparing to double track
and the people want the crossings
question settled before the additional
track is put In. Commissioner Sum
mer stated Saturday that the roads
would comply with the demands or
suit would be brought to compel them
TO do so.

HEIRS AFTER
HALL REQUEST

James H. Hunt of Massillon, who,
as trustee of the John Hall estate,
holds In trust sum of money said to
exceed $4,000 which was left to be
used in establishing a school for the
training of colored children, has made
application to the common pleas court
for an Interpretation of the will and
directions as to the disposal Of the
fund.
Since the fact was first published in
the News-Democrat that Mr.. Hunt
held the money in trust, he has been
besieged by large number OF colored
people who desired to get possession
of the money for the purpose Of es-
tablishing such school. On the 9TH
er hand. certain heirs Of John Hall
have claimed that the money should
not go to any school or institution for
the reason that the conditions which
existed at the time the will was made
have changed and there is no neces-
sity for such an institution, as colored
people have the same opportunities
that the whites enjoy.
The will was made in 1854, while the
colored race was still in slavery in
the South and deprived of many liber-
ties and opportunities in even the
northern states. The heirs who are
made parties defendant in the petition
filed by Hunt are Charles Edgerton
and William Edgerton, and the un-
known heirs of the deceased John
Hall. The Edgertons have made de-
mand for the money.
The petition states that the trustee
is desirous of carrying out the provis-
ions of the will and seeks authority
and instructions from the court. Will
lison G. Day of Massillon are counsel
Cor the plaintiff.

QUEER SHOWER
UNDER ARREST
A Foreigners Peculiar
Idea Of Money-Crude
Methods.

Counterfeit money such as was new
er seen before in Canton was taken
from the person of John Shumbeck, a
foreigner, at police headquarters Tues
day morning. The money was all 81
bills, hand made. The bills we're the
size Of genuine money but the work.
manship was SO crude that 1t was
laughable. The green color was made
by pressing the paper between two
steel blocks on which rested leaves
from the maple tree. The numerals
were made with water colors done in
white while the lettering was done
with ordinary Ink. The eagle was q
beautiful red-ink bird. Twenty bills
were found ON Shumbeck's person TO-
gether with water color outfit and
two steel dies"
The alleged manufacturer Of the
queer" was arrested by Constable
Van Kirk at the grocery store of Rach-
ael GOldstein Whiteman, Madison and
Jefferson streets about noon Tuesday.
While being brought to the city pris-
on the prisoner struck Van Kirk over
the head with cane and attempted
10 escape. He, was re-captured after a
chase Of several blocks. Van Kirk was
in the rear of the grocery store when
Shumbeck attempted to pass 81 bill
In exchange for a loaf of bread. The
clerk saw at once that the bill was
spurious and notified the constable.
The foreigner attempted to seize the
bill but Van Kirk was too quick for
him. He arrested the man and START
ed with him for police headquarters.
At Cherry and seventh streets the
prisoner raised large cane which he
was carrying and struck the constable
|over the head He followed this blow
with another and then took to his
heels. Van Kirk was right after him
and at the Pennsylvania crossing at
Eighth street, while attempting to
hurl stone at his pursuer Shumbeck
fell. He was captured In q moment
and the patrol wagon soon conveyed
him to a place behind the bars.
The charge of passing counterfeit
money was placed against him by Van
Kirk. He will be arraigned Tuesday
afternoon.

ROAR HEARD FOR MILES

The Canton Home Oil G. Gas Co.
struck q rich gasser near Osnaburg
Monday. The pressure has not been
estimated. but experts are of the
opinion that the flow is strong enough
that the well can be used for CONNER
cial purposes. The roar Of the gas can
be heard long distance and the peo-
pie In that vicinity are greatly ex.
cited over the strike. It Is claimed
that the presence of gas indicates that
where in the vicinity.
Berea sand was found at depth Of
7IS feet, and the gas was found after
the drill had penetrated into the sand
IS feet. There was trace Of oil 1t
is said, but the company and drillers
are reticent about the matter. Indeed
they are not ready to give out any in
formation and desired to. keep the mat
ter secret.
The company has 1000 acres under
lease and will Immediately start other
wells. It is the intetion to give the
territory thorough test for both gas
and oil. The present we'll indicates
that good gas field has been devel-
oped. even II no oil is found.
The company is composed entirely
OF Canton capitalists. William Il.
Sherlock is president, Joseph Munter
secretary and the board, of directors
is composed of the following gentle
men: Murray Beard, Frank Young,
S. II. Unkefer, Josiah Schoenamen. A.
]. Dumont.
The developments shown by the drill
indicate that Stark county Is In the
gas belt and the wells to be put down
by this company and the one operat-
ing In Pike township will certainly
furnish home supply that will result
in the cheapening of fuel gas in Can
ton.

But few people know that railroad

cars belonging to foreign companies
may be seen In the Wheeling and Lake

The company Is held responsible for
