ments not Complete

as he was only eighteen years of age
and until a few weeks ago had al
ways been in the best of health. He
was one of the most popular stu
dents in the high school and was
very bright in all of his classes. He
was a member of the senior class III
the school and was TO have taken a
very prominent part in the senior
public, which was to have been given
tomorrow evening. On account of
the death of the young man the pub
lie has been indefinitely postponed.
Yesterday the senior class of the
high school held a meeting and APP
pointed a committee to draft suit
able resolutions in regard to the
death of their classmate. 1t Is prob
able that the class will attend the
funeral in a body. In the death of
Paul Kienker Richmond loses one of
its most promising artists. Mr..
Kienker had never taken any in
structions in art with the exception
of what he had received in the pub
lie schools, yet at the time of his
death he ranked very high among the
local artists. He was very. prof.
cient in black and white work. The
funeral arrangements have not been
made, but friends may call at the

STOLE PONY
AND BUGGY
ALBERT PONTELL AGAIN IN
THE TOLLS ON
A VERY SERIOUS CHARGE
Arrested Here For Stealing Fixtures
From the Nixon Paper Mill
Sixteen Years of Age.

Albert Pontell, the sixteen year
old boy, who was arrested here a few
months ago for stealing fixtures
from the Nixon Paper Mill, is under
arrest at Xenia, Ohio, on the charge
of stealing pony and buggy. Su-
perintendent Gormon, of the local
police department, has returned
from Xenia, where he identified the
young man as the same person who
had been arrested and confined here
in the Jail for larceny. Pontell ad-
mits the theft of the horse and bug
gy from near Xenia. He was trac-
ed to near Washington Court House,
Ohio, where he was arrested. He
Willie arraigned in the Xenia court
in d Gg-lort time and Superintendent
Gormon will be called upon to testi-
fly as to the lads local reputation.
In company with his mother, Pontell
formerly lived at the Akron Hotel,
in this city, but both of them toured
the country to a great extent. When
on the road he sold junk and his
mother told fortunes. When Pom
tell was arrested here he claimed
that two boys, whom he did not
know had forced him to enter the
Nixon Paper Mill and steal against
his will. He was bound over to the
cireu,es%coust from the police court
and Judge Fox sent him to Jail.
While in the Jail he became engaged
in a scuffle with a fellow prisoner
and in some manner his leg was
broken. He was cared for and after
his recovery he was again taken be-
fore Judge Fox. The judge admin
istered a very severe lecture to the
boy and released him as he thought
the lad had received punishment
enough. Shortly after his release,
the boy left town and it is not
known how long he has been in Ohio.
Pontell formerly lived in Muncie
where he has relatives. He also has
| relatives in Piqua, Ohio.

done by people who wished to race
and was done entirely without his
knowledge and consent. He also says
that had he known that the street
was being sprinkled he would have
stopped the parties who were doing
the work and referred them to the

plot of the show. The sister team
act by the DeGraff sisters was very
