Toledo.-From the effect of bad
burns on the inside of his throat,
received when he swallowed a
portion of the contents of teapot,
Lawrence Bomyea, three, died at the
Toledo hospital. Physicians put forth
heroic efforts to save the youngsters
life, but to no avail.
Cincinnati.--As he was preparing
to go to the Hebrew Union COL
lege here to receive a degree of doc
tor of divinity, the highest honor that
the institution confers upon it's fac
ulty, DR.. Ephriam Feldman, so,
dropped dead at his home here. The
audience was already gathering at the
college when word came of his death.
| Doctor Feldman came from Russia
about rs years ago and was widely
known as a linguist and authority
upon Jewish questions. He had been
head professor of the department of
the Talmud in the Hebrew Union col
lege many years.
Canton.-After arranging for the
burial of their sixteen-months-old
daughter in ST. Johns Catholic
cemetery, the parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Bieyl, suddenly changed their
plans and placed the body in a vault
at Westlawn cemetery, where it can
be guarded. The action was taken be-
cause the parents had heard threats
that as the body was desirable from
scientific and medical standpoint it
would be taken up and disposed of for
purpose of research. The child was
an abnormal one and from it's birth
suffered from disease which, it is said
baffled physicians.
Sandusky.-One of the hostlers
in Duckman Bros.'s livery stable
here had occasion to give a horse a
salt bath. He saturated sponge
with strong brine, and after bathing
the horse put the sponge back on the
stove to dry. The livery stable goat
found the sponge several hours later
after it was thoroughly dry, and ate
every morsel of it, enjoying it as
much as boy does salted peanuts.
The goat was soon seized with a cen.
suming thirst, which it slaked gen
erously at the horse trough. Two
! hours later terrific explosion shook
the livery stable, tearing out portion
of the rear end Of the building and
demolishing the windows in the struc.
ture and those adjoining. Scores of
people rushed into the streets from
nearby stores and offices and dashed
down Wayne street to the livery
stable, only to learn on arrival there
!
ant destruction of property had been
caused by the explosion of the livery
firms goat.
! Columbus Grove.-In the presence
of a large crowd, Ernest Witteborg,
an employe of the government, rolled
peanut from the central part of
town to the interurban station to pay
an election bet. The distance was
about one-eighth of mile. A tooth.
pick was employed to roll the peanut.
Notwithstanding that several Of
the students of Oberlin college
voted illegally in the recent
election, some of the Democratic
county candidates, defeated for office,
are proposing to contest. 1t seems
that several years ago a contest, sim,
liar to the one talked of, occurred in
Oberlin and at that time it was de.
cided that a student, who had not es.
tablished a residence in the place
where he was attending school, should
not be permitted to vote where the
college was located.
Zanesville.-About the luckiest man
in Muskingum county is Vincent
Hollingsworth, aged 21, Democrat.
He was placed on the Democratic
county ticket for county surveyor by
the committee, following the primar
les, merely to fill out the ticket, and
the official count reveals his election
to the $2,700 a year Office over Engi'
neer Donald Geddes by plurality Of
nine. Before Hollingsworth con.
sented to make the race, three other
young Democratic engineers refused
the committees proffer.
Upper Sandusky.-Roscoe Leonard,
10 years of age, a telegraph operator,
at Carey, was burned to death after
a gas explosion in his bedroom. Leon.
ard, in. lighting the gas in the stove
in his room caused an explosion which
set his night clothing afire. He leaped
through a window into an alley, but
was unable to find sufficient water to
quench the flames. He died shortly
afterward, his body burned to a crisp.
The gas explosion set the bedroom
ablaze, but the fire was quickly ex.
tinguished. Leonard was a son o. ].
w. Leonard of Columbus.
Toledo.-That cocaine has sent
one Toledo boy to the state hos.
pital for the insane, and is running
the lives of schoc1 students, was as.
certained when the Seport came to the
Toledo Humane society, that the
drug was being sold to boys here.
Humane society officials said that
