Child
Lost But Later Found And
Returned To Parents

The small son of Mr.. and Mrs. Oar

several weeks at Hiawatha park, was
lost ON the streets of Mt. Vernon on
Friday afternoon. At about four
o'clock, the child was found to be miss
ing and a thorough search was made
without result The police were notifi-
ed and the fire bell was sounded and
general search was made. AT about
four-thirty o'clock, Mrs. Sara Dunnick,
who was driving across the yiaduct at
the foot of Main street, saw the child
playing on the c., A. & G. railroad
bridge and thinking that it might be
lost, called to him. The boy appeared
to be backward about approaching
the buggy, but was finally induced to
get in and ride up the street. He re-
fused to tell his name when question
ed by Mrs. Dunnick. While driving up
North Main street, the occupants of
the buggy were surprised to see a
man and woman run excitedly up and
demand the child. The people proved
to be the father and mother of the lost
boy.

The Mt. Vernon Matinee club gave
their second race meeting of the
year, Friday afternoon, there being a
fair sized crowd in attendance. Mr..
A. L. Byrnes' handsome mare, Belle
Mac, established a new track record,
by pacing the mile in 2:14, this be-
ing several seconds faster than the
record heretofore held by Mountain
Gem, who two years ago paced the
track in 2:17.
Glass B pace was won by Lady
Ashbrook, after four very close finish
es. Nelly BLY, won the Glass B trot
after losing the first heat to Winona

but could not do better than fourth.
Glass A trot was declared off on ac-
count of Don Temple being lame.
The club will give their third mat
inee of the season next Friday after
noon, which will probably be one of
the best of the season, as after that
time several of the best of the horses
will be away to the races.

At the very beginning of the camp

that kindles spiritual hope, but of the
kind that destroys things here as well.
This occurred in stubble field adjac-
ent to the camp grounds, and it is sup
posed to have been started from fire.
pot that had been used by the tele-
phone men who had been making re-
pairs to a line in that locality. The
fire spread rapidly and for time look
ed dangerous. Some fencing was de-
stroyed A big force was called from
the camp. Brush was used in beating
out the flames and water from the
camp grounds was used with good
effect.
Mr.. Lon Hammond of Mt. Vernon
is in charge Of the cooking depart
ment at the dining hall, which insures
that those who eat there will enjoy
good meals.
The wisdom of moving the secre-
tary's Office to the main entrance is
already in evidence. 1t keeps the Sec
retary close at hand at all times and
saves much annoyance heretofore ex'
perienced.
Evangelist Dolbow and the Rev Mr.
OBryen are new men at Sychar.
Mrs. Iva Vennard of Chicago, who
will be at Sychar this year, will be re-
membered as Miss Dunham. She is a

DENMAN
Is In Newark Fastening
LynChiRg Probe

Newark, o., Aug 6-Added interest
in the work of the special grand Jury
that hae been engaged in probing the
lynching of Carl Etherington was Civ.
en- this morning by the arrival from
Columbus of Attorney General Den
man. Immediately after his arrival he
held conference with Judge C. w.
Seward, Prosecuting Attorney Phil B.
Smythe and Assistant Attorney Gener-
al Miller. The special grand jury has
been In continuous session for nearly
a month, and the arrival of the attor-
ney-general, and the fact that he held a
conference with the officers engaged
in conducting the case, gave the i'm
preston that Governor Harmon is be-
coming impatient of the long-drawn
session of the jury and Is anxious that
1t complete it's work as rapidly as pos5
sible. 1t is the general impression that
a report will be forthcoming in few
days. Ten additional witnesses were
subpoenaed today.
Applications had been made for a
rehearing before Judge Brister of a
number of cases of men held to the
grand jury on the charge of having
been implicated in the lynching of
Etherington, but by agreement be-
tween the state and the attorneys for
the parties, the apnlicatiOns have
been continued until Thursday of next
week in the cases of l.. j. Bolton, JOS
eph Bush, William Moore, Robert Fol
lizard and John McKenna. BY order of
the court, the prisoners in the county
Jail will not be allowed to speak to

torneys unless in the presence of the

Ut SyChar With A Very Large
Attendance
And An Excellent Sermon
BY Rev. c. B. Allen
"Ihy Word Is TRUTH Theme
Of His Sermon

With fine weather prevailing and
with large attendance of people from
various parts of Ohio and adjoining
states, the Camp Sychar meetings op-
ened Friday evening and will continue
until Sunday evening, August ii. The
camp grounds were never in better
shape than this year, and the camp
population has not been as large for
several years as it Is this season. With
the strong corps of workers that has
been engaged, it is believed that the
meetings will be even more fruitful
than in any series in the past.
The opening services, held Friday
evening was marked by one of the
most enthusiastic song services ever
held in the camp. Song will be one of
the great features of Sychar this year.
The Rev. and Mrs. Arthur H. Johnson
of Akron will have charge of the mus
ic at the auditorium, and on Friday
evening the Rev. Mr.. Johnson demon
strated his ability in making people
sing. He rendered a very effective
solo, and created life in the congrega-
tional hymns. There are many good
vocalists in the camp and also a num-
ber of persons who play the piano The
choir will be assisted at times by CO.
meters, and altogether the music will
be delightful at each service.
The Rev. c. L. Lewis, acting presi-
dent, gave brief opening address at
the initial service, making various an
nouncements as to camp rules, servic-
es, etc.
The first sermon was preached by
the Rev. Charles B. Allen of Denver,
Col.., who was here in 1909, and who
will remain throughout this series of
meetings. For his sermon on Fri
day evening he selected as text-St.
John XvII-17.
"Sanctify them through thy
truth: thy word is truth"
The reverend gentleman mentioned
that these words are included in the
longest recorded prayer of Jesus
Christ, and called attention to the fact
that Christ was not praying for the
world, but for the believers.
The sermon was followed by an in
teresting altar service, many persons
going forward.
