Put On Dancing By Wooster
Faculty

Wooster University students, espec.
tally the fair goods, are to be bound
down by rules more strict this year
than ever before. Every student of
the institution during the past few
days has received copy of the rules
passed by the faculty some weeks ago,
and many of them are surprised at
the great changes made. The ban
has has been put on dancing, good and
strong, for while students have always
been forbidden to attend public dane
es, they could go out to private houses
and dance there. This year, though,
1t is different.
The practice of the young men and
ladies of making a rush for ice cream
parlors and restaurants after basket
ball games is also at an end.

Out Of SIS Was Mrs. Vim.

Money Was Sent To Her Son
Who Was iii"

Mrs. William r. Wing, residing
south of the city, has Just discovered
that she has been victimized out of
SIS by the smoothest swindle that has
been pulled off in this community for
many a day.
A day or SO ago Mrs. Wing received
a telephone message from Youngs-
town, o., from man who represent
ed himself to be Mrs. Wings son, Mr..
Edward H. Wing of Cleveland. The
man stated that he was Edward Wing
and that he had been robbed and as.
saulted in Youngstown and that he
was badly in need of money to return
to Cleveland. The man stated that
S15 would take him back to Cleveland
and requested Mrs. Wing to send that
amount Immediately by telegraph.
According to Mrs. Wing the voice oy-
er the telephone sounded exactly like
her son Edwards, and accordingly
she fastened to the telegraph Office
and sent the SIS by wire.
After waiting a day and hearing no
further word from her son, Mrs. Wing
wrote to Cleveland to find out the con-
dition of her son and to inquire if
he had received the SIS. In a short
time Mr.. Edward Wing called up his
mother by telephone and informed
her that he had not been in Youngs.
town and that she had evidentally
been swindled out of the SIS.
Mrs. Wing at once communicated
with Youngstown and secured des.
cription of the man who received the
money by telegraph and detective
has been put on the case.

cleveland Press)

Shore Freight office, committed sui
eide by jumping off the steamer City
of Buffalo, off Erie, at 1 a. m. Friday.
Il am going out and jump off," Yost
told his wife in their stateroom a
moment before. She thought he was
joking, and made no objections to
his going up on the deck.
Yost put on an overcoat over his
pajamas and went out. Mrs. Yost
soon began to take her husbands
statement more seriously. He didn't
come back in the few minutes that
she expected he would.
She ran for lookout and gave the
alarm.
The captain made a search of the
boat, but could find no trace of Yost.
His overcoat was found, discarded,
lying by one of the paddle boxes. He
had cast it off before he jumped over
board. The boat was stopped.
Ivan E. Poland, 9O6 e. Gambler ST.,
Mt. Vernon, Ohio, had been with Yost
until after midnight. "Yost had been
drinking and seemed to be respondent
when l left him." he said.
Yost was married last March. He
and his wife were going to Roches-
ter, N. Y, his home, to visit his par.
ents.
