Strong Case Against the Accused.

Special to Times Republican.
Toledo, Dec. 14-The Cunning trial

the case of the State VS.. John Gum

her, John Herink, c. d. Kenner, j. C..

err, T. j. Kubik, E. ]. Wilcox.
The first witness by the state was
F. L. Berger, followed by Jess. Hine-
gardner and s. e. Berger, the injured
