FIND OLDEST
COURT RECORD
Record Of Justice of Peace In
1841 In Bank Vault
WRITING STILL LEGlBLE
Relic Found Among Arc
hives of Marion County Bank
Cases Before Curtis Allen, Justice
of Peace for the County Contain
ed In Historic Relic.
WRITING STILL LEClBLE

Perhaps the oldest court record in
Marion county was discovered Thurs
day morning when the employees of
the Marion County bank were re-
moving dusty volumes from the
shelves of the bank vault.
Among the many relics uncovered
was volume, badly worn, which
contained the records of the court
of Justice of the Peace, Curtis Allen,
i'm the year 1871. Although the dates
of the records showed them TO be
about sixty-seven years old, the ink
ing was perfect and the writing was
easiiy Iegible.
The presence Of the aged volume
in the bank vault cannot De ac-
counted for. The bank employees de-
clare that II was the only one of
It's kind found and that no other
books of that age were stored in
the vault.
The historic record was uncovered
from beneath heap Of various rec
ords which had been stored in the
bank vault for number of years.
The bank employees happened to run
across it when removing the contents
Of the vault to the new location on
"the corner"
The book was Immediately taken to
the office of Clerk of Courts, VIII
liam Klinefelter where it will re-
main in the library of court records.
The first case recorded in the vol
ume was a suit to recover a due bill
of $11 10 brought in the justices
court on September 9Th, 1871. James
Clark was named plaintiff in action
while Joseph Salmon was defend
ant. The due bill was issued in fav-
or of Henry and Joseph Thew and
Levi Randall. The docket declares
that judgment was rendered and does
not state whether in favor of plain
tiff or defendant.
The lower edges of the volume ap-
peared to have been charred by fire
and II is possible that it was taken
from the ruins of some fire and placed
in the hands of the bank for safe
keeping. The book excited a great
deal of curiosity among the attor-
neys of the city and the record was
examined with great interest.

Franchise Sold to Frank
Wilson Today.
NO GAME FOR TONIGHT
Players will be Transferred
to New Philadelphia.
Lack of Patronage, Due to Taylor
Loss, Cause of Polo Failure
Wilson Sells Twin City Club

The Marion franchise in the Ohio
State polo league was today sold
by the local company to Frank Will
SON. secretary of the league ana un-
I'll today owner of the Twin City
franchise, who will transfer the team
to New Philadelphia. There will be
no game tonight at the local rink.
This is the result of Mariun's be-
ing even less than lukewarm to a
great winter sport. Since the OPEN
ing night the attendance here has
been very poor and it has been known
for some time that the local di-
rectors We're figuring OH disposing of
the franchise They have lost a large
sum of money in putting the team
in shape this year. and it is to be
regretted that the patronage was not
larger.
AT a meeting held yesterday after
noon, part OF the details were
worked out and this morning the deal
was concluded. Wilson purchase all
of the polo paraphernala az the rink
and the ownership of the players.
When interviewed today he stated
that he had sold on, his Twin City
interests to a company or business
men there who are now in charge of
the team lie will take the Marion
team to New Philadelphia and next
Tuesday night he plans 10 have
big opening there.
The polo enthusiasts of the city re-
gret very much that the team is TO
leave and they are hopeful that there
may be a revival OF the sport here
next year.
The principal cause OF the failure
of the public to supper; polo is with
out doubt the taking OF Lee Taylor
away from Marion and awarding him
TO Mansfield. Marion fans think
that there is no one like the illust-
rlous Lee and when Marion COM
menced to lose with a yourgsteT- in
Taylor's place they quit the game
cold.
Wilson takes the team which is tied
for last position and he plans to
shake It up until it is playing win
ming polo. There may be some
changes, but the new owner Is conf
dent that he viii get a winning team
together within the next few weeks
and crawl up in the race
