BURGLARS ACTIVE e
IN EAST TUSCARAWAS

Two small burglaries were reported

these took place at the Nickel-Odeon
in East Tuscarawas street, where
about SO in pennies was secured, and
the ether at James Phillips shoe shin

climbing over the wooden partition.
Luckily Manager Abrams had carried
away over $3.50 of the days receipts
and placed them in the safe at Ben

here was gained by breaking one oS
the windows. Detective Ryan is at

MOnnessen, Pa, was arrested at Lee.
tonia at the instigation of J. X. Stitt
manager of the c. D. & P. T. Co. s
Office at Salem, and will be taken to
Pittsburg to await trial.
Griffith came to Leetonia last Sat.
urday and registered at the Columbia
hotel at B. c. GTiff. He stated that he
was a locksmith, who was making
keys and repairing locks. His actions
aroused the suspicious of the propri-
etOrs of the hotel. He tampered with
the automatic telephone but so far as
is known, did not steal from it.
Manager Stitt of this city was call
ed to LeetOnia and he played the part
of detective. Griffith was finally ar
rested and placed in Jail A tele-
phone message to the c. D. & P. T.
Offices at Pittsburg confirmed the sus,
picion held toward Griffith, and the
Salem manager was requested to hol,l
the suspect. A photograph of the man
wanted in Pittsburg for forgery and
stealing was sent to the officials, and
they Immediately identified Griff or
Griffith as the man wanted in Pitts,
burg.
When arrested, Griffith acted per.
fectly cool, and when shown his own
photograph laughed about it and de.
clared that it was a mistake. Later
however, he practically confessed to
being implicated in crimes in Pitts
burg, and asserted that he had a part
ner in the crime.
A man who is supposed to have been
Grifith's confederate registered at
the Park hotel in Columbiana Wed.
nesday. He claimed to be an employe
OF the Bell Telephone company, and
made inquiries concerning the tele,
phone in the hotel. The manager be-
came suspicious of the man, who was
shabbily dressed, and refused to al.
low him to use the telephone.
Griffith was in Columbiana Wednes,
day, and it is believed ne was in com
munication there with the stranger,
who later disappeared. Griffith at
tempted to buy skeleton keys at two
hardware stores in Columbiana.
The Bell Telephone company has
been suffering great losses through
the widespread plundering Of the tele.
phones at toll stations. 1t is believed
that Griffith is connected with the
organized gang that was arrested Sun
day in Pittsburg for stealing from
the Bell telephones.

The Amount Of Damages
Asked For in Suit Filed
in Common Pleas


The largest damage suit filed in
the Stark county courts for many
months was filed yesterday by Attor-
neys E. G. Willison and Shields e
Pomerene on behalf of Lavina Weflcr
and others against the Haring
Coal company and others. The
amount asked for by the plaintiffs is
$4,000
The plaintiffs allege that they are
the rightful Jwners of about 150
acres of land in Tuscarawas township
and that they leased the right to mine
stone coal from the property to J. c.
Haring, j. A. Wilson and J. F. Po-
cock. Certain conditions in the lease
forbade the lessees from mining the
coal found under the two houses and
the barn on the farm and for SO feet
in each direction outside the founda-
tions of these buildings. They were
also to leave certain pillars of coal
under the land in order that the sur
face might not be disturbed.
1t is alleged that the lessees turned
their rights to mine over to the Har-
ipg-Wilson Coal Co. and that this CON-
pany in violaiGn of the terms of the
lease, mined the coal from under the
various buildings and failed to leave
pillars under the surface of the farm
land. Because of this it is alleged
that the buildings and land have been
damaged to the extent of $4,000. 1t
is also alleged that the coal taken
from under the buildings, contrary to
the lease, am04nted to 5000 tons and
that from the places where pillars
should have been left to 1000 tons.
The valuation Of this coal is fixed at
So per ton, the total amount being fix
ed at $4,000. The plaintiffs there
fore ask for damages in the amount
stated above, $4,000.

The Twelfth Juryman.

The following judicial anecdote
from the Louisville Courler-Jour-
nal Is good. "In one OF the west
ern states case was tried, and at
it's termination the Judge charged
the jury and they retired for con-
sultation. Hour after hour passed,
and no verdict was brought in.
"The judges dinner hour ar
rived, and he became hungry and
impatient. Upon inquiry he learn
ed that one obstinate juryman was
holding out against eleven.
'That he could not stand, and he
ordered the twelve men to be
brought before him.
"He told them that, in his
charge to them he had 80 plainly
stated the case and the law that
the verdict ought to be unanimous,
and the man who permitted his in
diyidual opinion to weigh against
the judgment of eleven men Of
wisdom was unfit and disqualified
ever again to act in the capacity
of juryman.

rangue little squeaky voice came
from one of the jurymen. He said,
Judge, will your honor permit me
to say wordp'
Permission being given, he
added, May it please your honor,

The natives are very supersti-
tious. and when one of their num-
Der dies they leave the hut leaving
the dead where il lies. It is then
that the minister comes in handy.
He places the native in rough
wooden box and has him carried
to the place where the natives
leave their dead. All his belong
ings are laid on the ground and
no native could be bought to touch
any of his things from then on.
When one dies alone he is laid on
the ground with all his goods,
then wood and stones are piled
around him. Many valuable things
have been found at these graves.
The white man has no compunc-
ton in taking anything he can use
or is of value.

what they will tell you: "Iglo

when translated, "house is cold

ing in the morning was to receive
the following bill-of-fare for break.
i fast: A pot of coffee. two small
slices of fried salt meat and one
! loaf of bread. This bread was to
last for one day. For dinner we
had coffee and deer meat and fo1
supper tea and deer meat. That
was our bill-of-fare with but little
change during the entire winter.
There was always plenty of fish,
bear and seal meat, but one who
has never tried to live ION q meat
diet does not know how soon one
tires of it. The seal meat is go
strong that white man can hard
ly eat it. The ducks are also very
strong and the cook always fixes
them with vinegar. otherwise it
would be hard TO eat them.
All the work we had to do was
to get two loads of ice a day and
cut enough fire. This ice is
formed from the snow melting in
summer and the water forming a
pond. This was the only way to
secure water, excepting to melt
snow. The snow in that part of
the world is not like it is here.
There the snow is dry and from
the melting of large barrel of
snow about common paifof wa
ter is secured. Chips, the carpen-
ter, made a large sled, then the
twelve of us sailors would put a
canvas strap over our shoulders,
hook it to a rope fastened to the
sled and we were ready for our
seven mile haul. The rest of the
time we spent on shore or visiting
on the other ships. Everybody
was disappointed and there was a
feeling Of hatred against the cap
tains for not leaving the island
sooner. Some of the other ships
had left a week sooner and had
reached Frisco in safety. The rest
could have done the same, but the
chances of getting one more whale
resulted in leaving US frozen in.
As soon as the natives were sure
the ships would remain, they tde-
cided to have great big houly.

the ice away and for the winds to |

The head man Of the village goes
to all the shacks aud let's all know
that the dance will take place at
such a time and place. Sometimes
these dances take place in the
largest house or on board the
ships, but generally they are held
in the open air, where all can
dance at once if they wish. The
instruments consist of
three or four hoops covered with
seal skin that has been dried.
These hoops are beaten with q mar
row stick. The musicians are also
singers, for they sing and beat
the tom tom at the same time.
