TOWNSHIP
ALL SOLD OUT
Every Voter in An Entire Chic
County District Was
Corrupt
QUESTION OF HOW THEY
WILL Be GOVERNED

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
WEST UNION, Ohio. Dec. 30--For
the next five years, Jefferson town
ship. one of the most populous centers
Of Adams county, will be without
voter, absolutely every voting citizen
In the township having been indicted
on a charge of selling his vote and
Judge Blair having already begun the
task of disfranchising them. As re-
suit, jefferson township residents to-
day took up with attorneys the ques-
tion of how they will provide for their
government and the carrying on of
township affairs until II will again be
possible for them TO vote. The situ-
alton. the attorneys say. has never
had a parallel anywhere in the United
States.
Although the canvass Of the ll55
indictments returned up 10 date show
that this is the only township In
which every voter has been indicted,
Il is believed that several other town
ships will be left in the same predica-
ment.
Others at least will be left with so
few voters that Il will be impossible TO
conduct township affairs or find
enough eligible voters to serve as
township trustees. Judge Blair is
expected later TO take this matter up
and arrange some form of govern
ment for such townships, until the
period OF disfranchisement he is met
ing out TO the vote-sellers is over.
Two More Preachers Indicted.
Two more ministers were to-day
added to the list of members of their
profession who have been indicted for
selling votes Evidence showed that
they received So each for their votes.
Judge Blair. however, has announced
that he will permit them to confess
In private and their names will not
be divulged. The main purpose OF
his investigation. he declares, is "a
make possible betterment of the
moral conditions Of the county. and
to make public the names of the min.
listers implicated would only lessen
he declares, their power for doine
good where they are most needed.
Among the others brought before
Judge Blair to-day. was a son who
sold his vote to his father for $40. n,
said he had no other interest IN IN,
elention, and Otherwise would hayl
, voted for him.
Mrs Sallie Inflow, the only woman
indicted IN the investigation, and VIII,
sold her sons vote, was given leniencl
by Judge Blair. after a pitiful plea o
poverty. He fined her $40 and re
mitted the fine. The son, upon whom
she is dependent for support was fine,
IS and disfranchised
Another resident. 81 years old, an,
the oldest voter in the county, wa
z also disfranchised by Judge Blair
/. With tears I'm his eyes he told tn
J court he could not hope to live TO b.
able to vote again.
. The work involved by the investiga
. tion has become so great that the new
o county ofIicers-elect, who have not ye
{ taken offices, have given their service
S free Of charge to the men whom the.
. are to succeed and they began tn
{ day working together 20 get all OF tn
I indicted people into court as soon a

Al the Christmas entertainment Of
Richardson Park NJ. e. Church. held
last evening under the direction OF
Mrs. Kathryn Stewart, the Rev. r. II.
Adams, pastor Of the church was pre-
sented with a pocketbook containing a

gift from the Sunday school Mr. Adams
spoke Of the past nine months winch

The program Of the evening proved
most enjoyable and the entertainment
was largely attended. William Win
trup played Santa Claus to the great
enjoyment of the youngsters and en-
acted the part so we'll that the older
ones among the audience were a little
startled at the likeness Of Wintrup TO

to be suffering most from shock Af-
ter the accident he was assisted 10
the home Of Henry Ellis nearby and
later was taken home.
The horse was struck fairly by the
engine of the train, which was COM
ing into Wilmington, and was badly
mangled and thrown some distance.
The wagon was crushed as If it were
made OF paper, and how Mr.. Valentine
escaped more serious injury is a
mystery.
According to people living In the
vicinity of the station the gatetender
an Italian. did not have the gates
down. Valentine says he saw the
man at the crossing and understood
from motions he made that he was
4 beckoning him TO come on.
The gatetender made a statement "a
the effect that he had waved to Valen-
tine with his flag but the latter had
his head down and did not see him
He did not explain why the gates were
not down.
/ Valentine was much effected by the
death Of his horse. 10 which he was
much attached He wept when told
I that Il had been killed.
