Mt. VERNON
Painted As A Very Bad Place
By The Editor
OF The DdnviIIe Leader In
In This Weeks Issue
(Danville Leaderl

The temperance people are up in
arms over the manner in which liuuor
is being sold in Mt. Vernon and if a
halt is not soon called it would be no
surprise to many to see a repetition of
the Newark affair.
Last Sunday the ministers of the
city used it as a topic for their SER
mons and it is said that the mayor
and one of the city officials were
roundly denounced.
In conversation with the Leader a
few days ago Deputy Sheriff Woolson
stated that a revenue officer had been
in Mt. Vernon and arrested seven boot
| leggers. They were taken before May
or Mitchell. Two of them were releas-
cd on bond. The others pleaded gull
ty and were fined 500 and sentenced
to 30 days in the workhouse but the
latter part of the sentence was sus-
pended.
The prisoners were sent back to Jail
but inside of a week all of them had
been given their liberty on the orders
of the mayor.
When the arresting officer return
er to Mt. Vernon he was greatly chag-
rined at the actions of the mayor and
he said that if that was the kind of
protection he was going to receive
| that in the future he would stay away
from Mt Vernon.
1t would not be surprising if COM
plant against the mayor would be fl
ed with the governor.

pathetic with such recklessness.
And the indignation with such dis
regard Of human life is similar even
when, as frequently happens, divers
persist in trying the depths Of strange
waters with their heads instead Of the
feet. II is not so grand to try un-
known depths with leap instead of a
dive. The difference between a sprain-
ed ankle and broken neck measures
the degrees of vanity which are be-
hind these two methods of plunging.
Boys who try to float on board in
deep water before they can swim are
just boys, and can be reasoned with
suitably only by their parents.
This is only a word of advice to
those who know how to swim, and ap.
pear to think that thereby they have
license to be foolish. There are tim
es and conditions when even swim
mers should not swim and there new
er is time when swimming is safe
under unsafe conditions. So long as
water will strangle there is no perfect
safety in the water. So long as this
is true no precautions are excessive,
whatever the skill of the swimmer
Except for show and vanity all swim
ming exercises can be taken in shall
low water as well as in deep, and only
under conditions where help is sure
and near. Everybody should learn
both how to swim, and when and
where to swim. Yesterdays newspap-
ers are almost perfect guide on the
subject-New York Times.

BOLD
Attempt Made To Hold Up
Guy FOrbing
On East Vine Street Thurs
day Evening
The "FOOt Pad" Makes Good
His Escape

A bold hold-up occurred in the east
end of the city on Thursday evening
when "foot-pad" sought to relieve
Mr.. Guy Forbing of his money and
valuables. At about ten o'clock, Mr..
Forbing was on his way home after
spending the evening down street and
had reached the alley, opposite the
residence of DR.. A. w. Crumley when
a man stepped from the shadow of a
large telephone pole, which stands at
the corner of the alley by the side
walk, and placed the muzzle of re-
volver near Mr.. Forbing's face, at the
same time ordering him to "hand over
his money."As is his usual custom
while walking, Mr.. Forbing had both
hands in his trousers pockets and
when ordered to hand over his money,
he Immediately turned the pockets
wrong side out and said that he had
no money. The currency, evidently
being the only thing that the hold-up
man wanted, was not forthcoming and
said no more but stepped into the
shadow in the alley and disappeared.
Mr.. Forbing went home and telephon-
ed Officer Hough, who Immediately
went to the scene of the hold-up but
nothing of the man could be found.
Mr.. Forbing states there was only one
man and that he was of small stature
and did not wear a mask or any face
covering whatever. He states that in
his opinion, he would Immediately rec
ognize the man should he meet him.

FAST line
On B. & 0. Railroad Hits A
Man At Mansfield
(Mansield News)


Although they were thrown for a
distance of thirty feet when the wagon
in which they were driving was struck
by fast Baltimore G. Ohio passenger
train at the North Main street cross
ing about 6 o'clock Wednesday even.
ing, William Jones and his step-son,
John Festler, of Ida street escaped
with only slight injuries.
Jones, who is junk dealer by oc-
cupation, was driving to his home on
Ida street and it was at the North
Main street crossing near the Aultman
& Taylor Machinery Company plant
that the accident happened. There
are no gates at this crossing, although
there is flagman stationed there
during the day.
So far as can be learned, Jones did
not hear any approaching train nor
was warned that train was coming.
He started to drive across the tracks,
but the rear of the wagon had not
ClSdISu Tic IitChb DSlolc thc luoI bdi-
timore & Ohio passenger train No. s,
due in Mansfield at 5:36, struck it. The
wagon was badly damaged by the col
lision and the two occupants thrown
about thirty feet from the track.
1t is more than possible that Jones
noted the approach of the train, as he
made an effort to protect his stepson
as much as possible. He had him in
his arms. and this probably saved the
boy from any serious injury.
A number of people saw the acci
dent and went to the assistance of the
| two people. They were assisted to
their home on Ida street, where DR.
Barrett was called To give medical at
tention. The boy had a cut over the
eye and another on the arm, but eX
cept for being bruised about the body
he did not appear to have suffered
from the accident He was able to be
about playing as usual this morning
Mr.. Jones appears to have been hurt
more seriously. No bones were brok
en-, but he has bruises all over the
body and several severe bruises about
the abdomen. He is confined to his
home today.
