through the operations of one of the
duo.
Saturday, Miller came to Canton. As
he left the car at the square he was as
sisted by a well-dressed stranger.
When the farmer looked for his money
later, he found 1t missing and then re-
membered having been jostled by his
supposed friend as he was getting off
the car.
On the following day Miller again
came to Canton, and while walking
along the street, was accosted by q
man who professed to be an old ac-
quaintance. Miller did not remember
having ever seen the fellow before
but when the latter asked him to get
into a buggy standing nearby, telling
him that he was about to drive out
along the Louisville road on a little
business trip. the farmer accepted the
invitation.
Just outside Of the city the stranger
met a friend walking along the road
He stopped the horse and started a

Washington, Sept. 22.-Unless the
Colombian congress was stampeded at
the last moment the Hay-Herran treaty
for the construction of the Isthmian
canal at Panama is now dead. BY
the terms of that convention today was
named as tho final date at which it
should be ratified by Colombia.
The Bogota congressman in an at
tempt to secure a large sum of money
from the Panama Canal Co., besides
an increased payment from the United
States, have apparently let the last
day go by without taking a favorable
action. The Colombian government
has however, through Minister Herran
anticipating failure of this treaty sug-
gested to United States a continuation
of canal negotiations.
The president and Secretary Hay
are being kept in close communication
with the state department regarding
the canal advises from Bogota. DR..
HeTran, the Colombian charge, expect
ed Secretary Hay to return to Wash
ington this week, but since the receipt
of Minister Beaupre's cablegram indi-
eating that he had abandoned hope. il
is said at the state department there
will be no occasion, for the secretary's
return until next month.

The stranger in the buggy made his

sum. He picked up the red card and

During all this time Miller had

Squire Sibila of Massillon to answer

The justice had demanded security

Jones was there as his own attorney
ready for the hearing. He waived his
right to demand that the case be dis
