men left the Ohio shore in a sklft en-

An argument arose between the pair
involving the swimming ability of

made that Craft could not swim to the

and plunged into the stream. He had
taken but few strokes when It be-
came evident he could not accomplish
the feat, and in full view Of his

INDIFFERENT TO FATE

The county Jail is now the resting
place of Alva Wolford. the nineteen
year old boy. who confessed that he
held up and robbed w. e. Shoemaker
son-in-law of j. e. Carnahan. while
he was taking a pleasure ride with
his family in an automobile south OF
the city Sunday afternoon of last
week. Wolford was arraigned before
Mayor .Turnbult Monday and freely
admitted that he was the person who
did the work
Rev. P. H. Welshimer. pastor Of
the First Christian church, where the
young man was Sunday school schol-
ar, was at the hearing with M G..
Marshall another member of the same
congregation. Young Wolford has
displayed considerable indifference
since his arrest and kept this up at
the preliminary hearing or arraign-
ment. The pastor believes that he is
unbalanced mentally and this opin-
ion is shared in by the police officials
who have watched his actions. He was
bound over to the next grand jury, his
bond being fixed at $1,000, but being
unable to give this he was sent to the
Jail.
Mrs, Hiram Wolford, the mother Of
the boy, visited him at the city pris-
on before his arraignment, being ac-
companied by Rev. Welshimer. The
mother was in tears during her visit,
but this did not move the son. for
he merely laughed and joked at her
entreaties. In order to show the cal
ibre of the boy Chief Smith produced
letter that fell into the hands of
Chief Kohler, of Cleveland, before the
arrest was made.
This letter is as follows:
Dear Mother:I though l would

tired of it all Please do not think
