WILL CONTEST
THREATENED
SUIT Pro b a BILE Over
Reinoehi's Es.
tate.

The filing of the will of Daniel Rein
oehl, of Perry township, for probate
has developed a situation that will In
all probability lead to bitter contest
Ill the courts. The will was made
and signed March T. 1902, duly quail
fed and attested to by witnesses. Rein
ochl for more than 30 years has not
been deemed capable of taking care of
mis- own affairs and has been under a
guardian.
He has an estate valued at about
$1,000 which he gives without reser-
vation to Lucinda j. Kurtz, niece,
who has been taking care of him FOR
some time past. 1t Is claimed, how
ever. that she has been paid literally
for her work
Arthur N. Haley was nominated by
the Will as executor and presented IT.
at the probate Office. The hearing has
been set for March 10. when the other
heirs are expected to file their pro-
test. Those who witnessed the will
insist that in spite OF the fact that the
old man has guardian he was of
sound mind and the time he signed the
document.

WeIl Founded Rumor States
Clayton VIII Rest Rob-
cry Natter

There is rumor in circulation, COM
ing from the people of Marlboro town
ship, that Vernon Clayton, who was
recently held up and robbed of 500,
will not appear at the preliminary
hearing against Lloyd Austin and John
Baum, who were arrested and charged
with the crime of highway robbery. 1t
is said that he has no disposition to
want to prosecute his neighbors, and
that If he has to appear as witness
he will not divulge any more than he
has to. 9faH r'ss
The people in the vicinity of the
homes of the accused men are greatly
excited over the affair. There are
those who stoutly maintain that the
two men arrested are innocent of the
crime, and that the evidence against
them is not sufficient to hold them.
The authorities, however refuse to d.
vulge what they have and suggest that
the preliminary hearing Saturday will
show that the right men have been
arrested.

President Morley Discusses Affairs
Of Canton Alliance
Line.
WORK WILL RESUME next week.

C. r. Morley, president of the Stark
Electric railway, was in the city Fri
day. Interviewed by a News-Demo-
crat reporter, President Morley said
that work had been stopped on the
line during this week on account of
the cold weather, but tho men would
return to work next week $50 strong
and the work would be rapidly pushed.
The first thing to be done will be the
ditching work along the line, and as
soon as this is finished, the men would
return to ballasting and laying the
tracks.
WILL NOT BUILD STATION.
Mr.. Morley declared that the Stark
company would not build or occupy
station in common with the Canton
Akron company but would erect or
buy one for their own use on the pub
lie square.
So far no cars have been run over
the track, but Mr.. Morley said that by
April / the cars would be in operation
between Canton and Alliance. At
present the track is laid nearly all
of the distance and nearly all of the
work has been done. The men re-
fused to work this week on account
of the cold weather. Some overhead
work remains to be done near Louis
vile and the tracks in walnut and
Seventh street are all-ready to be
laid.
Mr.. Morley was accompanied by E.
r. Merrill, w. J. Berry, of Alliance,
and John Blatt, of Louisville, all of
whom are interested in the company.
Mr.. Morley said their being in COM
pany was merely a coincidence and
had no connection with the work.

Word ReceivedFrom the
Eastern Capitalists
Friday.
MfETIEc TO Be HELD next MONTH.
Company to Be Reorganlxed
and the Plant to Be Enlarged
In Proportion to lnoreased
capitalization.

1t was given out this afternoon at
the Offices of the structural steel car
company that notice had been receiv-
ed Friday morning from the eastern
capitalists announcing their inability
to be here today, but stating positive
ly they will be on hand March Is TO
carry cut the plan for re-organizing
and re- capitalizing the company. They
will bring with them the money nee
esary to take UP the balance of the
$500.00 stock which has not yet been
taken care of.
The communication stated that i'm
mediately upon the reorganization Of
the company upon the plans proposed.
the capital stock will be Immediately
increased to $1O,OOO,O0O and plans per-
fected for the enlarging of the plant
proportionately. This means that
Canton is to have one of the largest
structural steel car plants in the
United States.
The actions of the eastern men from
the start indicated that they had gi-
|gantic plans in view. Shortly after
their first visit to the city, they in.
striicted William J. Steele, to secure
an option upon an additional tract of
land as the present site of % acres
was not ADEQUATE to the demands This
option was secured at an agreed price
of $4,000. Later options were seeur-
ed upon a number of lots lying be-
tween the works and an outlet toward
the railroad lines. This gives the new
company, when 1t is organized, almost
80 acres, all of which, it Is claimed,
will be needed for the shops that will
be erected. -r' 1aso .rJ 30
Those who have the negotiations
In hand are confident that the eastern
men, who have a large amount of cap
ital at teir command, mean just what
they say in their communication to-
day, and that the company Is to be re-
organized and tie plant enlarged as in
dicated.
This means more to Canton perhaps
than any industry which ever located
in the city, as the concern will en-
ploy a great number of men. many
of whom will receive the pay of kill
ed mechanics.
An informal meeting of the stock
holders was held at the Office of Lynch,
Day C Day, Friday morning, when tho
proposition of the eastern capitalists
was placed before them, and all agreed
to wait until March Is, when the east
ern men promise to be present.
