For the benefit of those who do not
understand the duties of the sealer of
weights and measures, would like
to say that by an act of the last Gen
eral Assembly, Section 1922 Ohio
Laws, provides that the county audit
or appoint a deputy sealer of weights
and measures, whose duty it shall be
to compare weights and measures
wherever the same are used or main
tanned for use within his county. He
also has jurisdiction in municipalities,
so far as weights and measures are
concerned, but has nothing to do with
the chart on computing scales. Should
he visit business place and find the
weights and measures used to be cor
rect but found the chart on the COM
putting scale to be wrong, he could not
condemn it because he hasn't the pow
er Now the law provides for city
sealer whose work is confined to the
city, and if we saw fit we could ap-
point such officer, but l am opposed to
any appointment that would increase
the citys pay roll one dollar. There
fore l saw fit to appoint Mr.. Tinkey
(whom the county auditor has already
appointed) thus securing to the city of
Mt. Vernon the full benefit of the SER
vices of the county sealer of weights
and measures without one cent of cost
to the city. The county auditor guar
antees that his services will not cost
the city anything. The county com
missioners fix and pay the salary OF
the deputy sealer of weights and meas
ures.
In the meantime If there should be
anyone within the city using com
putting scale with an irreglar chart
the auditor will hardly expect them to
cooperate in this matter, as 1t might
help reduce the high cost of living.

Desday morning from Cleveland. After
having been convinced through the
coroner's inquest and statements of
parties who had charge Of the body at
the time of the tragic death, that the
unknown peddler was really his broth
er, he secured a certificate from Un.
dertaker Howard Wolfe that the man
had not died of contagious disease,
and this afternoon left for the South

With the coming Of holland and an
other distant relative this morning it
fiEaA became known, here. that there
was anyone with the peddler when he
fell from freight train and was
ground to death and cut in two by
the wheels. But through two pals
who were with him and took fight in

with the death, the Cleveland man
learned that 1t was, as has now been
shown beyond any probable doubt, his
brother who was killed The men saw
him fall and started to alight, accord
ing to the story they told to Cleve-
land saloon keeper who IN turn noti-
fed holland, but in fear that they
might be arrested and held at least to
tell what they knew, decided that they
had best keep going. They left the
bloody body on the track First they
told the story in Canton, Massilon and
Akron and finally informed the Cleve-
