BLOODY CUTTING BEE
Two Men Engage in 1t Thursday
Night.

A bloody cutting scrape occurred
in the Exchange hotel between s
and ! o'clock Thursday evening.
The hotel people were disturbed by
a noise in one of the rooms upstairs,
but before an investigation could
be made, John Scott and l.. G. Smith
stalked out of the room, the latter
with stream of blood squirting
from under his chin, where deep
triangular cut has been made. An
other cut reached from behind the
right ear and extended about six
inches to some place under his chin.
A third bad cut ran from his lower
lip to the point of his. chin. There
are several other cuts about his
head and face, and DR.. W. l..
Miller sewed seven different wounds.
Scott was just as bloody, but no
particular wounds were found upon
him, except bruise on the head,
evidently made with beer bottle.
Both men were so badly intoxicated
that neither could tell anything
about the cutting and whether there
had been third party in the room.
However. Marshal Camp took big,
uglv-looking jack knife from Scott
that was sticky with blood, indi-
eating that this was the weapon
used.
Scott was locked up and Smith
was sent to the county hospital.
Neither of the two men is known
here. but Scott gave his place OF res
idence as Ault.

Mr.. Champ stated that the next re-

Describing the attempt after leaving

Champ said the Frithjof first encoun-
tered tremendous gales. After meet
ing with an ice pack she steamed as
rapidly as possible until she reached
almost 79 degrees of north latitude,
when drift ice drove her back. After
endeavoring to find another passage
the Frithjof was obliged, on Septem-

ice was forming of thickness of
seven inches in "a hours.
Mr.. Champ said it was possible that
the America might be able to release
herself during October, but probably
she would not be heard from until
next year. He believed, however, that
the members of the expedition were
amply supplied with provisions and
other necessaries, and that there was
no reason for much anxiety concern

The steamer America, which was
fitted out for Arctic exploration at the

the John Schneider Sons & Co., was
killed while shutting off dough
kneader in the bakery Wednesday
night. He leaned over the revolving
spikes of the kneader to reach the
lever that threw off the power and his
hand was caught in the cogs of the

the spikes, Slowly the machine drew
him into It's spikes until the thickness
of his body stopped it. His cries were
heard by the other bakers employed

Set Aside Two Elections.

Columbus, o., Oct. 4.-Probate
Judge Black made an important ruling
yesterday affecting Brannock law
petitions. A petition once filed was
withdrawn and altered as to sigma
ture and territory included and the
action was protested. Black holds
that petition once prepared and filed
may not be altered without destroying
it's effect. A second very important
question presented in the case was
that of whether the clause in the
Brannock law requiring an election to-
be ordered not earlier than 20 days or
later than so days after it's filing, is
merely directory or mandatory. Judge
Black decided the law was of the lat
ter effect. The decision sets aside two
elections held recently.

PRETTY LOVE STORY.
WHERE UNCLE JOE CANNON
CoURTED MOLLY REED.
A Romance of ohio's Western Re-
serve Which Is Remembered with
Pleasure by Scores Of Happy
Old Settlers.
Winfield (Kan.) Special.

NlHIlelu NhdHJ SpeCidl.
The story of how Uncle Joe" Cannon
got his wife, as related by Col. s. p.
Fink, of Winfield Kan, is full of inter-
est. Col. Fink was born at Garfield,
o., the seat of Mahoning academy,
where Molly Reed who later became the
wife of Speaker Cannon, was a school
girl The charms Of this young wom-
an, who was the flower of that then
western settlement, are Interestingly
described by Col Fink in his reminis-
cences of northeastern Ohio.
THAT section produced some strong
men and women" says Col. Fink. Yam
keedom, as certain section of Ohio Is
called because of the Yankee settlers,
was the center and heart of western
abolitionism, the route of the under
ground railroad. In the days of the rev.
olution the British burned the towns,
villages and the homes of the people,
and when the states ceded to the gen.
eral government their lands Connecti-
cut reserved this tract to reimburse its
people, for their fire losses, and this
Connecticut western reserve became the
firelands of Ohio. The Connecticut Yam
kees immigrated to these lands and
brought their abolitionism with them,
and Yankeedom grew in Ohio.
'Yankeedom' produced some mighty
men-three presidents Of the republic
Hayes, Garfield and Mckinley. Others
were Joshua R. Giddings Ben Wade and
Mark Hanna. This was the early home
of Gen. Chaffee, the son of lawyer
and William Dean Howells, the author
Howells set type on the Ashtabula Sen
tinel. and his octogenarian father still
does business at the old stand.
"Cberlin college was described as the
union depot on the underground rail
road, and was the first to receive into
its classes male and female, black and
white, alike. The professors, when the
fugitive slave law made hounds of men
refused to Sick became the yelling.

Strikers Hold a Mass Meeting.

Fall River, Mass, Oct 4.-Efforts to
bring about peace between the cotton
manufacturers and their employees
were given slight setback yesterday
when 1,200 striking weavers held
mass meeting and by unanimous
vote decided not to return to work
even if the notices ordering 1917 per
cent. reduction in wages, the cause of
the strike, were taken down, unless
assurances were given that no more
than eight looms will be operated by
one weaver. The weavers complain
that il they are obliged to attend to
more than that number of looms their
pay is materially reduced.

months in the Cleveland Jail.
In the early COS, while these stir.
ring events were being enacted and
these mighty men were on the STAGE"
says Col. Fink. Molly Reed was a
school girl in Mahoning academy at
Garfield, on the southern borders of
the firelands ten miles south of where
Mckinley first saw the light of life,
and seven west of where he spent
his boyhood days and put on the blue
of a soldier Garfield was then a
beautiful little city set on hill, with
broad streets, thickly set with trees,
the home of cultivated, intelligent
people, an ideal school town. Molly
Reed was beautiful, bright, rosy
checked, cherry-lipped, and happy girl.
She had many admirers. They came
and then went with Molly's smiles or
her frowns. Her beauty and her win
someness made her the master, and
her pathway was strewn with many
broken hearts.
I'm the summer of the great cam
aster hung over the nation. Molly went
to the then far-away prairies to visit
her cousins and aunts. Uncle Joe,
then boy lawyer, was fascinated by
Molly Reed, and she in turn was won
by him. In the face of this Molly
returned to her home to await the
coming OF Joe in the 3pringtime. One
by one her companions learned, in
confidence, of her betrothal until Il
became the village story that Molly
was going to marry some fellow from
the prairies
"The marriage day had been fixed
and the time of the coming of Joe was
as widely known as that of her be
trothal But Joe did not come. 1t
was before the days of railroads and
the telegraph for Garfield, and news
from afar came slowly. Some Penn,
sylyania Dutch were sprinkled among
the Yankees, and one of these in sym
pathy and wonder said: Molly, vwai
you dink, he cum still?' and she with
-,Nodor and frankness answered, j still

manner of her church, for 2Jlly was

"Soon 1t became knows that young
Cannon was making his first politica
