Massillon, June 17.-John Lach, a
this city, is the principal in three
act melodrama enacted in police court
today AS a result John is locked up
in the city Jail over night and the play
will be continued tomorrow morning.
Two separate affidavits will be filed
against the prisoner. One charges
him with disturbing the peace, while
the other charges him with cruelty to
his wife. In the latter case the wife
testified that Lach hit her with a shoe
hammer three times yesterday,
The trouble began yesterday. Mrs.
Lach had neglected some of her house
hold duties during the day and John
took it upon himself to punish her.
Some of the neighbors telephoned to
the police headquarters, and John was
locked up over night for creating a
disturbance. This morning he was
brought up in police court and fined
IS. He was allowed to go home to
secure funds to pay the sentence, but
as the day wore on he failed to put in
an appearance. This evening another
call was received from Patagonia.
Thither was sent the patrol wagon.
John was on the rampage again and
1t was necessary to bring man and
wife to the mayors court room.
The charge of cruelty to his wife
developed this evening. Mrs. Lach
was asked why they had raised dis
turbance. She had neglected her work
and John, to punish her, had tapped
her rather violently with a shoe ham
mer. He spoke about this in a man
ner which LED the listeners to believe
that this was no unusual practice.
John smilingly told the mayor that
Mary" was his fourth wife and in re-
ply to the query of how he got so
many women, he grunted that it was
easy, that whenever he tired of one
he married another. Johns eppear-
ance would hardly substantiate his
statement that he was a heartbreaker.
He was unkempt, unshaven and Gov
cred with a thick black crust of an
ebony hue. This might have been re-
moved with the appliance of several
gallons of water and bar of soap but
John didn't see it that way.
The trial was set for o'clock to-
morrow morning, and number of wit
nesses will be subpoenaed to prove the
cruelty charge.

The Chickens Paid For.

Mrs. E. M. Heistland, of Ottumwa,
Iowa, had nine chickens stolen in
three nights. The following morning
she found a pocketbook containing a
little over 5000 lying in the coop,
evidently dropped by the thief who
had made away with her last four
hens. Considering 500 each a fair
price for her chickens, she hid the
money and awaited developments.
That afternoon a strange man came
to her house and desired to buy some
chickens. She told him she had sold
all hers at fair price. He then
talked at some length about the care
of chickens and expressed a desire to
see her henhouse. She watched him
go over every inch Of the ground and
go away much crestfallen. The thiei
dares not claim the money, and she
will not surrender 1t in any event.

And one must watch, and one go out

KEPT COOL BY HOT AIR.
One Quart Of Kerosene Oil Will Run
Fan For "a Hours.

There is a great demand through
out India, as we'll as in all other trop-
ical countries, for some sort OF fan
that will distribute great deal OF
cool air at low cost of production.
A German firm has recently intro
duced in Bombay a portable fan
which is operated at about one-fifth
the cost of electric fans.
The fan is propelled by a hot air
engine, says Town and Country, the
heat being generated by a kerosene
lamp which holds about one quart OF
oil, sufficient to keep it running for
twenty-four hours. To the lamp Is
attached small glass chimney which
fits into a larger metal chimney con.
nected with the engine.
Upon the top of the engine is hung
the fan, similar in shape and size to
the ordinary electric fan, whose speed
is governed by the size of the flame
The whole outfit weighs about thirty
pounds, and sits upon a small stand
raising the level of the fan proper tc
that of an ordinary desk. 1t is fitted
with handles and can be easily moved
to any portion of the room or house
desired.
If American manufacturers car
produce a similar article, with per
haps a few improvements and at ;
smaller cost, an immense field will b
found for it's sale, for this is not nee
essarily limited to India, but woult
include every hot country in which
white people are compelled to live.

he held. and stopped to whisper low
ingly: "There. there, dear! It's all

Then came the closing prayer, and
the organ pealing out the recession'
al. The bride looked trustfully uI
into the face of her husband as they
passed down the aisle to the door
and the people in the audience sighed
or smiled, according to the way the
ceremony had affected them.
In the crush of the reception, Una
and John Barnard were almost thu
last in the line to offer congratula
tions.
The groom asked, as he graspet
John Barnard's hand, "Well, sir, dit
you feel as If you were being married
over again."
And John Barnard answered ear
nestly, II decided tonight that
would be a good plan for every mar
ried couple to have the ceremony per

WHEN A PR0MISS0RY
NOTE Is A FORGERY

In Bradstreet's it is reported that
the Supreme Court of the State OF
Maine has held, in the case of the
Biddeford National Bank VS.. Hill
that where a person did not intend
to sign promissory note, but by
fraud and deceit was tricked into
signing an instrument which after
ward proved to be promissory note.
such instrument was a forgery, al
though the signature affixed thereto
was genuine.
This is very important decision
and we are glad that it has been
made, and we would like to have the
courts of other States pass upon this
matter.
The case upon which the decision
is given Is one which has very ma
terially affected the retail merchants
of the country. and it is one which.
in the years past, we have been called
upon to deal with not infrequently.
For example: Representatives of GER
tain manufacturers call on retail
dealer and induce him, by roseate
representations. to put in a stock
of goods, making all kinds of tacit
verbal agreements relative to the
sale of the goods, paying for the
same, and the return of unsold mer-
chandise.
These gentlemen are usually good
takers and as they run on they deft-
ly shove printed agreement in front
of the dealer, leading him to under
stand that it is an order for goods
or some such generally harmless
agreement. Usually this Is accom-
panied by deft manipulation Of the
agreement which Is printed In blank
and filled in with pen. Some time OF
other, 1t may be sooner or 1t may be
later, the dealer finds that he has
signed a promissory note, which ne
usually ascertains when payment Ii
demanded, either by the parties tc
whom 1t was given or through banl
with which 1t has been placed for col
lection.
The retail merchants have beeI
particularly marked for this sort o
fraud by INSCRIPTIONS persons whit
have thus obtained their signature
to promissory notes.
OF course, a promissory note Il
the strongest possible legal document
and when a person has been confront
ed by note bearing his signature
the genuineness of which he coul'
not dispute, he has known the fu
tility of making any objection ant
has usually paid 1t and pocketed tn
loss. In the past 1t has been gen
orally understood that there was n
redress for a person whose genuin
signature appeared upon promis
sorry note; how it got there mattere
little: 1t was there and he put
, there, and presumably he knew wha
, he was doing, and rather than cor
: test in the courts promissory not
! most people would pay them.
: This decision, If it stands and
: held to be valid, will enable justic
to be done to a good many peopl
= who, by various causes such as ur
l due influence, oversight, misundei
: standing, a lack of business sagacit!
;, hurried manipulation, and SO on, a

z lently with fraudulent intention
: Such notes should not be held vali'

preme Court is very important an
s far reaching.
