SOLOMON SURPRISED
When Served with Summons BY
Wayne Co. Sheriff
tOrrville Crescent

lOrrVllle CreScentI
A. j. Solomon, who owned a bank
at Marshallvllle, was served with a
summons in a sudden manner at the
American House in Wooster Monday
evening.
Suit was filed in the common pleas
court by Il. S. Wertz, receiver of the
Marshallville bank that closed its
DOORS some time ago. The suit alleges
that Solomon and others who had
guaranteed payment with him, had
not settled in full all that was prom.
ised the creditors of the Marshallville
bank. AS neither Solomon or the
other parties in the suit live in the
county It was impossible to serve the
summons.
Monday night Solomon appeared in
Wooster. Sheriff VanNest was ready
with tile subpoena and 1t was quickly
served on the surprised Mr.. Solomon
Solomon is now trying to dispose ol
the Marshallville bank building ant
thinks that in that case he will have
almost enough to settle what he has
promised with the Marshallville de
positors.
A. ". Taylor and Frank F. Blacl
are other parties named by Receiver
Wertz.

FOR $4,000
A Gas Well In Ashland County Is
Sold
Mansfield NeMsl

Mansfield Newsl
Not little interest Is in evidence
in the Blackfork valley from Windsor
to Loudonville owing to natural gas
agitation and the fact that producing
we'll was recently drilled on the Phil
ip Croninger farm southwest of Ash
land.
A few days ago we'll two miles
east of the Croninger farm was sold
for $4,000. That this latter well is
fine one is the general belief, such
confidence arising from a statement
made by one of the officials in charge
at the Croninger well. When asked
how many million feet the well pro
duced he refused to say, but with a
significant wink said:
"There is no better well anywhere
This is fine we'll with an extra good
quality of gas. You observe there is
no bad smell to this gas If ] had
ten wells like this in this neighbor
hood, a $9,OOO,OOO pipeline would be
begun at once"
This gentleman stated another well
would be staked and work began this
week.

Fredericktown, o., January 26-The
j. B. Foote Foundry Company, of Fred.
ericktown, Is about to launch an aero.
place counted on to revolutionize aer-
ial navigation -
The inventor, who is the patentee
of several articles in practical use,
working on the theory that nearly all
new inventions are incorrect at first,
plans to make his machine fly end
ways, or like an arroy, instead of side
ways.
The arrow-shaped machine does
away with the rudder and is kept at
all times straight and is easie, con.
trolled.
For several months the idea has
been under progress of being worked
out at the Foote foundry, and model
has been constructed which was re-
Gently submitted to several tests, and
its performance was all that could be
desired, as it worked correctly.
The successful working of the mod
ell, has greatly encouraged those inter-
ested in the matter, and a full-sized
machine will be constructed without
delay at the Foote foundry, and when
completed will be given a thorough
try-out. If the large machine works
as perfectly as the model, revolution
will be at once worked in airships and
aerial navigation, and Fredericktown
will get as prominent on the map as
Dayton is now, through the accom-
plishment of the Wright brothers.

THE LA BARD INJURY.

Prof. La Bard, the bicycle "leap the
gap" rider who was badly injured at
the fair grounds yesterday, is getting
along as well as one could expect, con-
sidering the nature of the injuries re-
ceived.
1t appears that just as La Bard was
about to mount his wheel, at the
summit of the thirty-foot high incline,
preparing to make his thrilling ride,
a boy on horseback ran his horse
against one of the guy ropes and
gave the structure such jerk as to
throw La Bard from the platform and
down to the framework of the struc-
ture many feet below. As La Bard
fell he grasped the edge of the plat
form with one hand and made a he
roic effort to save himself but the
swaying structure threw him from it
and he fell squarely across a cross
beam, breaking two ribs and badly
bruising his body. He was at once
taken to his room, in the La Plata
hotel, and given prompt medical at
tention and while his injuries are not
of the type regarded as especially
dangerous they are such rs will cause
him much pain and it will probably
be some little time before he will
be able to resume his work.

ToDAy's FAIR RESULTS

This afternoon we were as lucky as
we have been every day during the
fair. AS usual the sun came out about
z o'clock, and although the Farming
ton band went home this morning a
large crowd followed the Durango
band to the fair grounds.
The first thing started was the ball
game between Durango and Mancos
and more than usual interest was ta-
ken in it, as Mancos had taken the
one Tuesday from Durango.
The fans who filled the bleachers.
therefore were more enthusiastic than
usual and any player who was un-
lucky enough to make bad play was
numerically roasted. The close score
shows that both teams were out to win
for at the end of the ninth inning it
was Durango 4, Mancos 2. Mike New
ton umpired the game.
The entries in the harness race were
John Scrivener by John Waters, Dug
gan by William Bostwick, Bonnie by
c. B. Kelley and Kelley M by A..
Moore. The first and second heats
were won by Bonnie, with Duggan
second Time, 1:21.
In the half mile Indian squaw race,
Miss Want-a-push won first, and Buck
Boy second.
In the half mile COW horse race
Allen won first, La Plata second, Tony
third.
The fact that Mancos took Tues
days game from Durango and the
home team turning the tables at the
game today, Durango and Mancos are
playing another game to play off the
tie. The game is now in progress.
In the half mile Indian buck race
the brown horse won first and the
white horse second. The Indians seem
to have no names for their horses,
and generally it is hard to even find
out who owns them.
The entries in the running race were
Caneache, Rags and Cody and as we
go to press the phone says that Cam
eache came in first, Rags second.
We are sorry that the lateness of
the hour prevents us from giving the
results of the free for all relay race,
and the packing contest, but as Sam
Ethridge is in the contest we can
guess how it will come out.
And now in closing we want to say
that great credit is due to President
Matt Harrington and all the other
officers Of the fair association for the
splendid manner in which this fair has
been conducted. With the exception
of the unfortunate accident that be-
Semi-weekly herald., 1911-10-02

hlcmish, he sends it back, without
thanks.
We had indicated the possibility of
this action, and why it might be ta-
ken. There is in horses what trad
ers know, not as disease but as a
fault. 1t is called "hard mouth" and
horse which has il is likely, at any
time, to take the bit in its teeth and
run away, not all of the hardest pull
ing or saving on the reins being
enough to hold it in. The Canucks
were afraid to mount or drive, lest
the reciprocity brute should some day
bolt back over the border and bring
them with it. A speech was made by
Champ Clark in congress, after he
Rad become the leader of his party
in the house, and looming candi-
date for the presidency, aroused this
fear. Champ said that he was for
reciprocity as the first step toward
unfurling our flag clear up to the
north pole. When the Canucks heard
of this they could actually see the
gift horse laying back its ears and
pulling hard on the lines.
This fear was not sectional. In
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Columbia
where the pact made its strongest fl
nancial appeal, it held down the liberal
vote. Manitoba is the only one OF
those provinces even approximatinR
the just expectations of the Laurier
ministry. Yukon is yet to be heard
from, but the anti-American bitterness
of 1908, which doubtless survives,
forecasts its action. This is not dis
creditable. The Canadians have ma
tional aspirations of their own, and
they are willing to sacrifice great f.
nancial advantages to some day put
their own flag in the sky. 1t is not
to be thought that they have failed to
see the advantages the pact Offered
them. The Canuck is too shrewd for
that. They have deliberately made a
great financial sacrifice on the altars
of patriotism. We are far from con-
demning them, particularly since their
action, under the influence of the
Clark speech, makes Republican party
unilication great deal easier. We
take back the gift horse with pleas
ure, and shall offer him to outland-
ers no more.-Globe.

A ROTTEN SHAME.

The mere fact that 7. X. Irwin un-
loaded himself and G. d. Bartlett onto
this neighborhood is sufficient for the
Democrat to be suspicious with any
thing that T. X. Irwin has or ever
had anything to do with.-Durango
Democrat.
We cannot understand the animus
OF the Democrat in attacking G. ID.
Bartlett. Gertrude D. Bartlett was the
wife of w. A. Bartlett, a former editor
of The Herald. So far as we have
ever learned Mrs Bartlett was no.
bic woman, true wife and loving
mother. She should in no way be
blamed for the faults of her husband
and she certainly was not "unloaded"
on this community by Mr.. Irwin or
any other man. 1t is true that she
obtained divorce from her husband
here and that she and her little chill
dren were left destitute when he de-
serted her, but she at once left here
and went to friends in California. The
ladies of the Civic club aided her be-
cause, as one of them old us, they
loved and pitied her."
To attack the good name of wom-
an whose only crime was to have been
deserted by worthless husband is in
no manner the act of a gentleman
and man possessing as much real
honor as is possessed by the vilest
cur dog which roams the streets would
not be guilty of such thing. Mr..
Irwin is here and is probably amplys
able to take care of himself but Mrs.A
Bartlett is gone and unless her friends
protect her good name she, and her
children, might be made to suffer from
such cowardly and despisable attacks.
