selves up without much difficulty and
the horse was again mounted. This

be landed in the street.
The third time was enough how
ever and when the Indian again
mounted, he was careful not to touch
his steed with the spurs and rode out

Excitement is intense here among
citizens as the result of threats which
have been made against the lives of
five Greeks employed by the Milton
Nursery company, by unknown par
ties signing themselves Lawful Citi-

reason known for the threats is that
the men are foreigners and, it is
claimed, work for less wages than
Americans.
The first intimation that there was
any feeling againt the Greeks, who
have been residents of this city for
the past two years, came this morning
when a notice written on a typewriter
was found tackled to the door of the
house where the Greeks live. In an
evident attempt to disguise the au-
thorship and prevent detection the
words of the message had been mis-
spelt. The notice was dated Freewater
and was as follows:
"Freewater-Ne will gi you I'll sat
urday night TO leve town. and let de-
cent men work. If you don't lcve by
that time we vii raise the devil with
you.
Signed) Lawful Citizens of
the United States"
With its discovery the Greeks We're
terrified and fastened to the authori-
ties. Informing them of the threats
made against them. The authorities
are convinced that the notice was
written by local parties and that the
Freewater date line was merely in
serted to ward off suspicion. After
with the business men
md authorities the Greeks have de-
,ided, to pay no attention to the threat
against them.

SUNDAYS HEAT
WAS VERY INTENSE
Thermometer Climbs to "a
Degrees In the Shade.
Lack of Intense Suffering, Says
Observer.

Yesterday was one OF the hottest
days OF the year. The thermometer
of official weather observer Z. II.
Raffensperger registered ninety-four
degrees shortly after 2 o'clock. This
was as high a climb as the official
thermometer has mace this season.
Many OF the home thermometers To-
Gated on porches registered as high as
1Q3 degrees. The reason that the Off
cial thermometer did not climb to that
degree was because of the heighth OF
its location.
Because Of the extremely low hui
midity, few people realized that yes
terday was almost record breaker.
This ranged as low as forty per cent
and as a result, there was but little
extreme suffering from the beat. Two
weeks ago the official thermometer
registered ninety-four degree and the
heat was more noticeable at that time
than 1t was yesterday on account OF
the humidity.
The weather bureau located at Co
lumbus and Dayton claim that Sum
day was the hottest day that has been
recorded in several years. Few heat
prostrations were reported in the cit
les however because of the low humid
ity.

LEAGUE MEN
RAISE MONEY
Meeting Held In Calvary
Church Sunday.
MAY MOVE AGAINST JUDGES
Petitions May Be Placed In
Circulation.
Extreme Heat Kept Many From At
tending the Meeting and Another
VIII BE Calld For he Near Future.
"Drys" Are Encouraged.

At secret meeting of the Marion
Count Law and Order league at the
Calvary Evangelical church, Sunday
afternoon, many things were said con-
cerning the outlook for the dry
forces in this county. Very little
however, was definitely decided upon
and a wholesome discussion of the
situation was enjoyed. Only members
were admitted, admission being only
by card and each member was permit
ted to bring with him one trusty
friend.
Owing to the extreme high tempera-
ture of the afternoon there was but
a small number in attendance and
this was quite disappointing feature
for the leaders. The first plea of the
afternoon was the very necessary one
for money, the leaders declaring that a
good part of what had been subscribed
had not been paid in and that as the
money was badly needed it was essen
tial that all dues be promptly paid.
Many paid in their subscriptions at
the meeting Sunday and a neat sum
was secured so that the league Is al
ready in much better condition. The
victories which have been gained by
the forces working for temperance,
were reviewed at the meeting.
There was some discussion regard
ing the plan of action for the future
and it was boldly limited that petitions
alleging prejudice viii be gotten out
against Judges b. G. Young and Daniel
Babst, when the cases come up for
decision in the court of common pleas.
Nothing was definitely decided upon
however in this regard. Various
members gave talks concerning the
plans as they are now arranged.
Another meeting of a similar char
acter is planned for the near future
when larger attendance is hoped for
by the more active members.
