bootlegging.
Youngstown.-The grand jury
failed to return an indictment
against Lyman H. Miller, the Lis
bon man who was charged by Mar
garet Holiday of Lisbon with admin
istering intoxicating liquor for i'm
moral purposes. The story told the
grand Jury by the Nude Art Girl"
failed to convince. Miss Holiday
charged that Miller brought her to
this city last June in an automobile
and took her to a wine room where
liquor was supplied the complainant.
New adelphia.-Augustus Duxa,
80, former mayor of Shanesville,
near here, was accidentally shot
by Charles Aubihl in Aubihl's
coal mine, and died later. Frank Mi
ger had given Duxa a revolver on a
trade and Duxa asked Aubihl to ex-
anime it. When the latter turned
around to return the weapon the trig-
ger in some way was pulled, the bull
let entering Duxa's right temple.
Aubihl gave himself up to Sheriff John
Pollen here. Coroner A. w. Davis says
he will render a verdict of accidental
shooting.
Wooster.-Aaron Mccullough, farm.
er near Holmesville, attended the
Wooster fair, taking $11O in a tobacco
poke. Ten minutes after he entered
the gates the poke was missing. He
searched for it all day in vain. The
next morning the grounds were under
two feet of water. Mccullough re-
turned the third, and recalling where
he stood after buying his ticket, dug
in the mud and recovered the poke
with the money still inside it.
Toledo.-Rev. E. D. Whitlock, pas,
tor of the First Methodist church OF
Fremont and father of Mayor Brand
Whitlock of Toledo, is seriously i'll al
the Flower hospital in this city, fol
lowing a second operation. He be,
congregation had tried to have him re-
moved for his so-called socialistic
views.
Cleveland.-A revolver was left in
exchange for jewels worth $500 by bur.
glars at the home of Mrs. Charles
Fields, Lakewood.

of coal in 1910 was 34,209,66S short
tons, with a spot value of $35, 1892 ,2S8

United States geological survey. AL
though more than half of the coal
miners OF Ohio were on strike in 1910
for a period equivalent to % per cent
of the average number of days worked
the increase in production in 1910 over
1909 was the largest gain ever made
In one year.
Pomeroy-Thousan of men
women and children near here
are working along the Ohio river
shores in removing the immense corn
crop on the lowlands to points of safe
ty from the flood now sweeping down
the valley. The marks show the great
est flood at this time of year since
August, 1875, with the water still ris
! ing eight inches an hour. There will
be a great crop loss, as not sufficient
men and teams can be found to save
the corn, although the county has been
secured for five miles for help.
