UNABLE
To Explain The Condition In
Which He Was Found

Danville, O., Aug. G4.-Mystery still
surrounds the case of Mr.. Charles
Hammond, who was found at the
home of Mr.. Clement Durbin, north
ofthis place, on Tuesday morning. His
condition is very much improved and
on Thursday he was able to talk
freely but is unable still to give an
account of his experiences in the hay.
NOW where he was found unconscious.
On Thursday afternoon DR.. Porter
stated that in his opinion Mr.. Ham
mond was seized with an attack of
acute indigestion and, as that is the
only solution to the question, it will
no doubt be taken for granted The
pain in Mr.. Hammond's side after he
regained consciousness gives reason
for the supposition that indigestion
was the cause of his unconscious con-
dition.

germs
HatChed In An Incubator At
Wooster
(Wooster News)

At the DIR. w. F. Derr veterinary
office on Mold Ave, DR.. John Hut
ton, a Wayne county young man, has
an incubator, that matches germs. You
might think that there are enough
germs here in Wooster but they hatch
ont at the rate of several million an
hour when the incubator's working
just right. DR.. Hutton is a recent ad-
dition 10 the ranks of the veterinar-
ians. Since he has been associated
with DIR. Derr he decided that it would
be cheaper to make vaccine-that is
what they call the germ dope-than
to buy It, so he went to work and made
his germ incubator.
Now he's making vaccine, kind
of dope that gets about the same
results as anti-toxin, but in different
way. DR.. Hutton takes the pus from
an animal inoculated with germs that
cause assesses. He cultivates the
germs IN the incubator, and they multi
ply at a great rate, too. Other forma'
tions grow just as fast as the germs
Then when he has enough germs he
kills all Of them simply by heating
the dope in his test tube. This leaves
the other formations, and these "otheI
formations" are what he wants.
They are injected into the veins OF
an animal suffering from abscess and
they make quick work of the abscess
germs. "It's great dope" DR.. Deri
says. Farmers like to have us use
it because they don't have to wash the
sores on their horses as they do wher
other treatments are used"

of each team is making every effort
to have their players in the best of

thing there is in it.
Tiger of the Hiawathas will be un-
able to appear in the lineup as he
will be out of the city on Sunday but
his place will be filed by competent
man. Sullivan will be sent to left.
Wilmington TO center and probably
Householder to right. Darling will
cover the third base position while
Grubb will be on second. The remain
der of the in-field will be well chosen
and the game will begin with every
man on each team ready to put forth
his best effort.

Coming In Out of the Wet.
There Is an amusing story by Athe-
naeus which suggests the possible orb
gin of the phrase "He does not know
enough to come in out of the wet" Ac-
cording to the entertaining grammartan
referred to, a town in Greece under
stress of evil circumstances borrowed
money from a rich man. who took as
security for the loan mortgage on tho
handsome portico which surrounded
the market place. He was not an un-
generous creditor, for when 1t rained
he caused the town criers to announce
that the citizens had permission to
take refuge under the colonnade.
Strangers visiting the town who fall
ed to have the matter properly explain
ed to them were SO impressed by the
extraordinary circumstances that they
spread abroad the report that the peo-
pie were so stupid that they had to DO
told when to come in out of the wet. +

A MT. VERNON Man MEETS HIS
end AT MANSFIELD
HELD Up WALTER CLEVER and
HORTENSE SHAFER OF
bELLV|LLE
Marched Them From Park To A Corn
field AT RevO|ver'S Point
and ATTEMPTED CRIMINAL ASSAULT
IhWarted In Design By Young
Lady's Companion

pointing the revolver first at one and
then at the other led them across two
tracks and into corn field
some quarter of mile distant from
the park.
Upon reaching the corn field the
man pointed the revolver at the girl
and attempted to make criminal as
sauIt. Clever, in order to protect the
honor of the young lady, became al
most frantic, and picking up large
piece Of dirt threw it at the man
which struck MIN In the eye and for a
moment blinded him. Taking this op-
portuuily Clever grabbed the assaii-
ant by the throat and commenced to
choke him. After securing possession
of the revolver the girl also grabbed
the man about the throat and the two
succeeded in strangling him almost in
to insensibiIity.
When Clever and Miss shafer dis
covered that the man was fast losing
consciousness they revived him, but
to their surprise the man again re-
newed mis- attack. In an instant Clever
had again grabbed the man about the
neck and closing his hands with ter
ribie force he crushed out his life in
the twinkllng of an eye.
Leaving the body in the corn field,
Clever and Miss Shafer hurried back
to the park and told several persons
what had taken place.
A call was sent for the ambulance
man undertaking establishment.
Hundreds and hundreds of persons
viewed the body of the man at the
morgue, but it was not until 1890 p.
m, that body was identified.
T. K. Bricker OF Mt. Vernon upon
viewing the body Immediately stated
that ii was that of Stephen Wolford
of Mt. Vernon and that he was tailor
by occupation.
The police department then notified
the police department at Mt. Vernon
and learned that the deceased was a
son of Lanson G.. Wolford, coachmar
of Mt. Vernon, and that the young mar
had been conducting a tailoring estab
lishment in Mt. Vernon.
The body was held at the BeelmaI
undertaking establishment awaiting
some word from relatives of the de
ceased at Mt. Vernon.
Both Clever and Miss Shafer wer'
examined by the police and both toll
of their terrible experience. CIeve
told the police that before the struggle
ensued that he offered Wolford gol,
watch and all the money he had witt
him If he would go away and not me
lest them. WoIford just laughed a
this and stated that he would not 9
away.
After hearing the story of both, tn
authorities completely exonerate
Clever and Miss Shafer and they wer
