SLEUTH
From Polk Finds Trouble At
Mansfield
(Mansdeld Shield

Marshal l.. W. Rickel Of Polk, Ash

One was to attend the big show and
the other was to uphold the majesty

ing TO warrant, issued from the
court of Mayor LESLEY of Polk that
he went through that village too fast
on his motorcycle and also shot off
a gun inside the village limits.
The aforesaid warrant was duly is
sued and tucked safely away by the
marshal in his inside pocket. He then
slipped into the city early Wednes-
day morning. Before Attorney N.Y.
ers got down to his Office the marshal
had to pass away the time and the DO.
lice say he appeared at the city prison
to pay them visit and to notify them
he was after the Mansfield man. The
Polk sleuth, the police say, acted sus-
piciously like man who had hit the
trail of the oil of Joy. He left but
came back again with a determined
angry look on his countenance. He
had interviewed the accused and had
made arrangements to accept a de-
deposit of $25 for his appearance be-
fore the Polk magistrate but then he
lost his quarry. He talked about TAX.
ing Myers back in handouts. OFF,
Ger Gray looked at the Polk visitor in
awe. Rickel left the city prison
swearing vengeance on Myers. The
police told the Polk official he had
better hurry for he was liable to for
get all about his man.
Later in the morning the Polk off
cial reappeared and the police gave
him resting place in the city prison
for a time Rickel still held onto the
warrant and his quarry is still al
large.

FLAMES
Came Near Destroying
House At MartinSburg

Martinsburg, o., July 20-The vii
lage was visited by fire this morning
shortly after II o'clock when the
home of Mrs. Mary Hartman and
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Mott came near
being reduced to ashes by fire which
was started in rather peculiar man
ner. A double house, in which the
above named persons reside, was
badly damaged, the kitchen being al
most entirely destroyed and the rear
portion of the building was somewhat
burned.
At about 10:30 o'clock, Mrs. Mott
left the kitchen, in which hotplate
was burning, and did not return for
several minutes later. When she did
return it was to find that the inter
ior of the room was blazing. Calling
aid as soon as possible, she threw
water on the fire and it was extin,
guished. 1t is supposed that piece
of paper blew up from the floor and
was lighted from the flames of the hot
plate and was then blown back to the
floor, where it set the wood work
on fire.

PECULIAR

BILE.
q. B. Stout, constable of Benning-

hour and brought his prisoner to the
court house. Leaving him there in
charge of deputy he hunted up Sher-
iff Slabaugh and in probate court filed
an affidavit for an inquest of lunacy,
and Doctors Barnes and Anderson
were called in.
The man says that he is 20 years
of age, and he is evidently afflicted
mentally as his unkempt hair and
beard and wandering eyes indicate
He gives partly connected account
of himself Says his name is James
Black, and that he comes from the
Mississippi river country and that his
parents are living in Iowa; that he
HAS uOC Deeu dt nOiue lot tne ldS'
two years, and has been working or
farms just east of this county. He
says that he is not married.
For the last week he has kept the
countryside in fear by his prowline
and screaming around the country al
night. He has been to farm houses
where through fear as much as any
thing he has been fed. His clothes
are badly worn and torn and the ole
derby hat which he affects, is almos
beyond recognition as such hat. Ht
is a little below average mentality
and it is said was armed with two re
volvers, but the constable made M
search of the man.
At the time he was captured he wa

EXPLOSION
Of The Maine Game From
The Outside
According To Latest Reports
Given Out
EnqineerS Have Serious Time
With The Mud

Havana, July 20-The process of re-
moving the water surrounding the
wreck of the pattleship Maine is prac-
tically completed, leaving the wreck
surrounded by islets of mud, small
pools and sink holes of Shiny water.
1t is now apparent that the engi-
neers are confronted with an infinite
ly more serious problem, the removal
of the mud in which the remains of
the battleship are imbedded from
minimum of 81 feet to a depth that
can only be conjectured
Although the water is now only
two feet lower than in previous pump
ing operations, the revelations with
regard to the shattered hulk have
been vastly enlarged, owing to the
lateral outspreading of the distorted
frame and plating, especially in the
forward section where the explosion
was greatest.
Ruin Frame Outside
The structure of the bow as far aft
as frame 18 is now exposed, permit
ting an analysis of the plates, beams,
ribs, ETC., and it has been shown con-
clusively that they originally belong
ed to the structure of the double bot
tom, which is now elevated to height
of about 40 feet above the normal po-
sition, apparently giving confirmatory
evidence of tremendous exterior ex-
plosion.
In the confused mass of wreckage
of the bow is to be seen curved
piece OF steel, believed to be what En-
sign Powelson identified before the
Sampson court of inquiry as part of
the fiat keel of the Maine. Naval
Constructor Ferguson, in charge of the
examination, declines to say whether
he can fully confirm Powelson's iden-
tification, but says that adjacent plates
and beams are unquestionaby from
the vicinity of the keel.
Mud Fills Rooms
The wardroom and officers quar-.
ters on the starboard side are ex-
posed, but owing to considerable
list the mud is level with the ceiling,
precluding at the present time the
possibility of exploration. The ex-
tensive excavations may consume sew.
eral months.
Among the developments as a re-
suit of the pumping yesterday was the
exposure of a section of the armor
belt abreast and amidship superstruc
ture. This is about level with the sur
face of the water in normal position
but separated from the forward por
ton of the belt, which doubtless will
be blown out.
May Not Find Remains
The hope of the discovery of the
remains of many of the crew is di
minishing on account of the unex
pectedly complete demolition of the
berth and deck.
1t is believed that the wreck will
be ready for inspection by the boart
of inquiry within two months.
An interesting point which the en-
gineers are now investigating /!
whether the bulkhead Immediately af
of the central superstructure, wher,
II is believed the hull was almos
completely broken in half, remains
in good condition, in which case it Il
believed little difficulty will be ex
perienced in floating out the afte
one-third of the ship.

If II Is
Men Are Guilty Of Illegally
SEEMING Fish

ID. V. Bradfield of Mt. Liberty ap-
peared at the Office of Mayor Charles
A. Mitchell Thursday morning and
stated he wanted to make an affidavit
of Mt. Vernon, for illegal seining in
the Kokosing river. The allegation
was made by Bradfield that the young
men were using a large seine and
were taking fish from the river in
this manner.
The Two Grays soon appeared at the
mayors Office with their attorney, Mr..
l.. G.. Stillwell, and considerable time
was spent in discussing the case.
Finally Prosecuting Attorney Cromley
was called in The two men stated
that they had been using the seine for
the purpose of catching minnows, but
the fish that came within the seine
were thrown back in the creek.
This, however, was not true as sew
eral fish were exhibited at the may
or's Office which it is alleged that the
men caught in the seine. The claim
was then made that these were COM
mon suckers" and that it was no vic.
lation of the law.
In the afternoon the case was open.
ed up again and an examination of
the fish was made. 1t is claimed by
Sheriff Parker that one of the fish
which had been caught in the net was
a black bass and if this was true the
men were guilty of illegal seining.
Prosecutor Cromley, Mr.. Stillwell
for the defendants and Mayor Mitch.
ell were holding a conference in the
matter at the Banners press hour.
