Engineer Dies Suddenly.

Death came very suddenly to
James Cassell, a retired engineer
of the Hooking Valley, in "a res
taurant on North Twentieth
street, Saturday afternoon. Mr..
Cassell had been ill for some time
but refused to receive medical at
tention, and continued work about
the restaurant. Saturday after
noon his condition became sudden
ly worse and he fell to the floor,
dying in few minutes.
Coroner Murphy was called and
after an examination stated that
the man had been suffering from
pneumonia and had practically
died on his feet, although the
direct cause of his death was at
tributed to heart disease. The
remains were taken to the home
of brother of the deceased, John
Cassell, the ell-known passenger
engineer of the indianapolis divi-
sion of the Pan Handle, at 1853
West First avenue, where the fun
eral services were held Monday
afternoon at 1870 o'clock.

Mexican Veteran

"Dad' Mcdonald, Veteran Of
the Mexican War, who next March
will be eighty-five years old, and
who engaged in seventeen battles
from 1916 to 1948 asked the
Observer last Saturday for infor-
nation regarding the new pension
law that was passed recently.
The new law reads in part: "Any
person who served 90 days or more
in the military or naval service of
the United States during the late
Civil War, or 60 days IN the War
wit Mexico. *** In case such per-
son has reached 62 years, $l2

month; rs years or over, 500 per

ed, "That will increase mine from
ZIP to 500 per month, and / tell
you it is better than kick and
we all will gladly welcome the in
crease in our pensions.

THAT DOUBLE BARRELED GUN
MAY NOW Be FURNISHED.
The Duck Season in March Gets Some At
tentiOn at the Time

Is that double -barreled shotgun
of yours that you bought last fall
FURNISHED up and ready for use
II not, you have 20 days in which
to do 1T, for the duck season will
be on March |.
The hunter already is indulging
in weird fantasies as to what will
happen when the ducks begin their
northward journey.
He thinks by day and dreams
by night. In his imaginative
moments he sees huge aocks of
mallards. He throws his trusty
gun to the shoulder, bangs twice
in quick succession and rubs his
hands with glee as the ducks strike
the water all about him. His
faithful dog plunges in and brings
the cripples home. That is the
dream.
Just what the duck crop will be
this spring is difficult to state.
However, as the weather has not
been very cold, it is figured that
the dlcks will hy north early and
during the first week in March
many will be killed.
But the best duck season comes
not in the spring, but in the fall,
in the hunting fields of central
Ohio. Comparatively few are
killed In the first season, but so
much depends on the weather t is
difficult TO predict just what can
be expected.

A Prosperous Town

If you want prosperous bust
ness town. remarked a rising
young attorney of Logan to the
Observer recently, "where people
can come who are disposed to make
homes and transact business, then
do away with and bury from sight
all jealousy and spite, work no
more for a. few individuals, but all
work together for a common pros
perity and mutual benefit. Wake
up, rub your eyes, roll up your
sleeves and get to work. Don't
work with fear and trembling
hands, but take for granted that
blood will tell. Leave results to
themselves; borrow no trouble,
but all unite to make it the big
gest kind of town. Go to work
with a will, and then you get
the direct result"

Tribute to irOSvenOr.
Compliment Paid Him by a
Host of Colleagues.

Washington, d. c., February o.
-Ohio's delegation in Congress
gathered tonight to pay parting
tribute in banquet to General
Charles II. Grosvenor, who retires
to private life on March 4. Sew
enteen members, including the two
Senators, were present, Senator
Charles Dick and Representative
James Kennedy, of Youngstown,
selected by the delegation as
spokesmen, drew a delightfully."-
reminiscent picture of the old
legislative warriors participation
in shaping and eXpounding the
party policies at the National
Capital. They spoke of the com
radeship they had known in their
long friendship with General
Grosvenor, and of the ties which
bound them together. AS Senator
Dick ceased speaking the delega.
tion rose and gave three resound-
ing cheers to their retiring col
league.
Responding to the hearty cut
burst General Grosvenor, his eyes
glistening with the gladness he
radiated, and looking, truly, "A
years young, spoke of the pleasure
he had always felt in working
shoulder to shoulder with the men
of his party. Their joys, their
sorrows and their triumphs, he
SAID, had heen his life work, and
he took pride with them, he ad-
ded, in knowing "that the dear,
old Buckeye state had given some
of her best sons to Congress-"
General j. Warren Keinfer and
Representative L. f. Burton made
brief addresses of felicitation.
Each member of the delegation
was presented with handsome
souvenir menu, containing on the
inside an autograph photograph
of General Grosvenor, with re-
production of the Capitol on the
outside.

This is the quiet season now for
the sportsman. According to the
Ohio game laws there is nothing
one is allowed to hunt now but
''coons." And these are so scarce
they can hardly be considered.
Even the skunk is protected, the
open season for that fur bearing
animal having closed Feb. /.
There is little winter fishing.
This is easily seen when the law
does not allow what is termed set
line fishing for bass, while up in
the great lakes and in the Norther
states the fishermen reap a harvest
Holes are chopped in the ice and
scores of lines are set. The fisher
m EN- visits the lines each morning
and picks up those that have tasted
of the bate to their sorrow.
However, there is little sport in
this kind of fishing and those who
practice it do so as means of
livelihood. In Ohio the law pro-
vides that in catching bass one
must have a pole, hook and line.
Were one allowed to do so hundreds
of black bass could be picked up
IN net during the cold season
when the lakes are frozen over.
The fish are rather sluggish at this
time and don't exhibit the same
Intelligence as during the summer
season.

room when Florence Evelyn Nes-
bit Thaw told of the tragedy not
of the roof garden, but of colder

the tower, where she, a little girl
in short dresses, of is years, was
enticed by a slick, grinning man;
not fool that had stumbled onto
his prey, but well-bred, cultured
talented man.
When Evelyn Nesbit Thaw took
the stand it proved how beautiful
girl could be If she had been
properly protected at home. Her
hair was as carelessly unkempt
as school girls, who had romp-
ed across across some field in
heavy dew, going to a country
school. She did not look over II
and her voice was as sweet as
voice could be. Her eyes glisten-
ed as she told of the tragedy.
And the judge, even, leaned
heavily on his left elbow to catch
her words when, at the request of
Mr.. Delmas, she repeated the
story she had told Harry Thaw in
Paris.
If | am correct in my impress

girl and a dancer. She never
had speaking parts, and the story
she told sounded like true story.

the other day. "The new Am

was very enthusiastic in his talk
about the new hotel, which is the
pride of Logan, and said, Gland

story of human brutishr oss
Thursday.
The crowning wonder is that
Evelyn Nesbit survived to tell the
story. A mere girl with the grief
of ages in her still winsome face,
before spell-bound courtroom,
told in simple sentences a story of
diabolical sin.
1t is story that the types re-
fuse to print, that is not to be told
in full outside of the buried re-
cords of the courts.
And that was Evelyn Thaw's
plight Thursday. From the mute
lips of him who had heard it all
before, and brooding over it, had
wiped out the account with the
blood of the traducer-from the
depths of cell in the Tombs pri-
son, languishing there on charge
of murder, the man who, knowing
all, had given her his name, came
an appeal which none but she
could answer.
And throwing aside all modesty
and pride, sinking every feeling
to woman dear, barring her bleed
ing heart to the world-Eveiyn
Thaw flung wide open the book
of her tragic life that all might
read. Never before has court
room been the scene of such simple
tragedy.
A chiIdlike figure upon the
stand, attired In simple blue,
broad white collar about her
throat, a modest black hat adorn-
ed with violets over her black
hair, which hung down over the
neck and was drawn together by
black bow.
Harry Thaw fixed his eyes upon
his wife as she appeared from be-
hind the jury box and swore to tell
the truth, and from that minute
his gaze never left her face. Be-
fore she had got half an hour
along with the story tears were
coursing down the cheeks of the
prisoner.
Chances passed between them
filed with love and reverence.
They were her mainstay and sup
port. And while the faces of the |
spectators Redeemed under the |
story and tears coursed down the
cheeks of the women, and even
the eyes of Justice Fitzgerald
glistened, and the jurors averted
their gaze to avoid show of
emotion, she kept straight on. un-
folding in simple and direct Ian
guage that fearful story of her
betrayal by Stamford White, the
memory of which, and the brood
ing over turned her husbands
intellect and steeled his arm to
shoot.
Long before Evelyn Thaw was
called upon to make this sacrific
the elements of her nature had
been crushed. She appeared on
the stand woman from whose
eyes every tear has been drawn
long before Stamford White fell
under the ayenging bullets OF
Harry Thaw,
In the first half hour she told
all-all that a woman would give
her life to conceal. Emotion af- {
