EXCITING RUNAWAY
ON WEST NINTH ST,
LEE BERDELL, OF MASSIILoN
ROAD INJURED.
Teams Mad Plunge Drove Wagon
Tongue Through the Side Of
Dwelling House.

Thursday at IL o'clock there oc-
Cured a runaway which caused con-
siderable excitement in the section of
the city in which the incident happen
ed and which terminated unfortun-
ately for the driver of the team.
Lee Berdell, who lives about six
miles west of Canton, near Massillon,
came to Canton to sell some cider. He
had stopped on Ninth street, at the
residence of Mr.. Schultz where he was
unloading some of his goods The
team was left standing unattended and
bcame frightened They started to
run when Mr.. Berdell made a heroic
effort to check them. In some way
the bride of one of the horses came
unloosed and the driver could not
get them under control There were
several small children playing in the
yard and it was only good fortune
that some of them were not hurt.
The horses, when they found they
were free ran fiel cely and would have
perhaps gone straight down the street
had not Mr.. Berdell got hold of the
left line and in trying to check them
pulled them around SO that the
wagon was drawn onto the sidewalk
and up into the yard of one of the
neighbOrs of the Schultzes.
In tearing into the lawn ditch
eighteen inches deep was crossed but
the frightened horses plunged on un-
til they came to the residence of Harry
Zerbe. Here a most peculiar incident
occurred. The runaway horses in
stead of trying to check ran directly
against the house and the momentum
of the heavy load drove the wagon
tongue clear through the weather
boarding and knocked off the plaster
ing of the sitting room. The side of
the house was crushed in just below
a window. This brought the run
aways to standstill, but it was found
that the driver had been painfully
hurt in the mix-up, his shoulder being
severely wrenched. A physician was
summoned and the man taken to the
home of Michael Baechel. After be-
ing attended and his injuries treated
he was assisted by his friends to re-
pair the broken harness which was
quite badly damaged, and managed to
get the team hitched again and start
ed home. Mr.. Baechel accompanied
him part of the way.

EIGHTH REGIMENT
ELECTION OF COLONEL MAY
PROVE INTERESTING IF
vOLLRATH DOES
NOT RUN.

According to an Akron paper siren
uous efforts are being made by the
friends of Colonel Vollrath of the
Eighth Ohio to induce the Colonel to
stand for a reelection in December,
when his present commission expires.
The colonel has not yet given his an
swer. The desire of the officers of the
regiment is to have the colonel stand
in order to avert display of politics
which will do the regiment no good.
In case the colonel will not stand,
Lieut.. Col. Weybrecht, of Alliance,
will be candidate, and it is under.
stood that Major Fred S. Marquis of
Mansfield will oppose him. For an Off.
Ger of inferior rank to aspire to the
honors over one who ranks him is
regarded as subversive of the best
discipline, and for this reason there
is objection to the candidacy of Major
Marquis. At the same time friends of
Captain Beer of Ashland are urging
him to stand for major against Mar
quis in the same election, and this is
objected to for the same reason that
stands in the way of Marquis running
for colonel.
AS the matter now stands the only
way the display of politics which tore
the regiment open five years ago, can
be avoided, is for Colonel Vollrath to
agree to stand for reelection, as there
will not be any opposition, so far as is
now known to him, because of the
high standard to which he has brought
the regiment in the five years he has
been its commanding officer

Narrowly Escaped Injury.

Anti Ticket.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 6.-Ex-Gover-
nor Edward ScofieGd. of Oconto, a
third term candidate. will head the
anti-LaFollette state ticket as their
candidate for governor.
Samuel A. Cook. of Neenah, the
nominee of the rump Republican
state convention at Madison, today
formally withdrew from the contest,
as has been expected, when the SUI
preme court refused to recognize the
rump ticket as regular. In the eve
ming Mr.. Cook gave to the newspapers
a formal statement of his reasons for
accepting the courts decision.
81 am a Republican" said Mr.. Cook,
"and l propose always to stand by
Republicanism and vote the Republi-
can ticket"
"Then you will vote for Robert M.
LaFollette for governor?"
please do not ask me that question
now. Wait until tomorrow, or until
come to Milwaukee again. There is
plenty of time. Let us see how things
develop" ..
At meeting of the Stalwart leaders
tonight there was some discussion as
to the advisability Of bringing injunc-
ton proceedings to force Secretary of
State Houser to place the electoral
ticket at the head of both tickets, but
it was concluded that this proposition
was best left in the hands Of the law
yers.
There was some sentiment at the
meeting for withdrawal of the ticket
and the abandonment of the fight, but
Senator Spooner, Mr.. Jeffries and the
men who have everything to gain by
keeping up some excuse of party reg
ularity soon frowned this down.
If men like Spooner and Quarles,
the federal Office holders and the men
who profit directly by carrying on a
campaign, could be removed from the
councils of the party, the rank and
file would never think of keeping up a
separate organization to fight the Re
publican party.
After the meeting, Samuel A. Cook,
the candidate who resigned from the
ticket was asked concerning the truth
of the rumors that he has been forced
off the ticket. He denied that he had
been compelled to resign.

pers in the Office Of Secretary of State
Houser using the regular Republican
form Of affidavit, and made no effort
to have his name placed in the COL

Navies.' Among the speakers was Gen.
eral Nelson A. Miles, who in the
course of his remarks declared that
he believed the reduction of armament
was an unwise thing. He said that
the best way to maintain peace was by
ever being ready to fight, and as an
illustration told the story of the small
boy who known to be ever willing and
ready to defend himself, was never
called upon to engage in battle. He
thought that our army should be in.
creased rather than decreased. The
remarks Of the general created some.
what of sensation, as they were di.

SUGAR LOWER
THE OHIO WHOLESALE oRocERs
AGREE TO CUT PRICE
10 POINTS.

AS result of a meeting of the d.
rectors of the Ohio Wholesale Grocers
association held in the Chittenden ho-
tel, Columbus, late Tuesday afternoon,
a reduction In the jobbing price of
sugar will occur. This reduction is
predicted to vary in different localities.
The association agreed upon re-
duction of 10 points, amounting to
one-tenth of a cent The value Of this
reduction will vary, according to the
price placed on sugar, amounting to
less, If the price is high.
Word received from Columbus Is to
the effect that directors who attended
the meeting did not care to predict the
outcome of the session. There seems
to have been great differences in opin.
ions as to what should be done by the
association.
1t has been stated that an open mar
ket is highly probable. This means
war in his own territory. In this case,
the present schedule will be abolished
and a general rush for the business
would follow.
The session is said to have been de-
cidedly interesting because of the re-
finers being blamed with the responsi.
bility of the fight that has been waged.
The reduction in the price of sugar has
occurred mostly in the southwestern
part of the state. 1t is of vital inter.
est to the wholesalers association and
the price in local wholesale circles will
be watched with interest.

advise him but automatically he wav
