RAT DAY"
In Ohio Is A New Idea Being
Advanced

A "Rat Day" for Ohio is a new idea
being advanced by upstate citizens as
the result of successful campaign of
determination against the rodents just
closed in Wyandot county.
The men who led the people to glo-
rious victory against the foes of crops
say it would be right in line with the
conservation movement for the state
to have a rat-killing fest one day a
year, like they have in Indiana. 1t is
claimed there are five rats to every
inhabitant in the country and that
each of these causes loss of about 81
each year, especially in the rural dis
tricts.
Folks up Little Sandusky way got
tired of the pests, they say, and organ
lied to fight the rats. Four teams
captained by H. M. Statler, Vic Shind-
Ter, H. M. Dahmer and Frank Will
loughby, divided the territory for the
job little more than two months ago.
At banquet held Saturday night to
celebrate the close of the Today cam
paign, it was announced by the official
tailcounter, d. H. Brown, that exactly
1890 rats had bitten the dust. "And
there are so many left we hardly miss
the departed" he concluded.
There were SAT people at the ban
quet, men, women and children, for
they all helped in the campaign.
The leaders say they think they
have cut down the possibilities OF
another cholera epidemic like that
which killed most of the hogs in that
section.
So successful was the Little San
dusky campaign that Antrim and Pitt
townships, nearby, are planning SINH
lar rat hunts. 1t is probable many OF
the dogs used in Little Sandusky that
now are accustomed to the chase will
be loaned for the occasion. Bulldogs
are the best rattrs. Ferrets can't
do the business when there are so
many to be killed, it is said The Sec
ond campaign will start Jan. l and
will run until April l.

INDIAN
Burial Ground Uncovered By
DFGdge

San Francisco, Dec. 27-Construc-
ton workers now employed in the i'm
provements at Brentwood Irrigated
Farms, in Contra Costa county, have
unearthed an Indian graveyard, which
dates back to the prehistoric times.
When the gigantic dredger was
making the way for the large canal
which is to carry the waters of In
dian slough and the San Joaquin
River on the Brentwood Irrigated
Farms, 1t dug into the graveyard
This occurred at the historic spot
known as Point of Timber landing,
and many interesting things were
brought to light, revealing heretofore
unheard-of customs.
Skeletons were found to be buried
in a standing posture, facing toward
the east. Perhaps the most important
discovery made was the unearthing
of some skulls, which show clearly
that the California aborigine knew
something of dental surgery. Cavities
in the teeth of these skulls are well
filled with beads.
The large canal which uncovered
this burial ground is six miles long
and extends in straight line from
the old Point of Timber landing to
the highest point of the Old Marsh
Grant, or Brentwood Irrigated Farms,
as the property is now known. From
this point the water is distributed to
all the small subdivisions. The main
canal is concrete lined throughout.

French Rice Pudding

Pick over one half cup of rice; put it
in a strainer in a pan of cold water
and wash and rub it well until the
water is clear. Put one half cup OF
water in upper boiler, add one scant
level teaspoonful of salt, and when
boiling add the rice. Let it cook di-
rectly over the heat until the water is
absorbed. This intense heat will
burst the starch grains and insure
thorough cooking. Then set the boiler
over the lower part, add one cup of
hot milk and let it cook by steam until
very soft. 1t need not be stirred; if
the milk is absorbed before the rice is
tender, cream one rounded tablespoon
of butter with one rounded tablespoon
of sugar, add one beaten egg and beat
well. Stir this into the rico->and by
the time the mixture is blended, the
eggs will be sufficiently cooked. Stir

FLOURISHED
REVOLVER.
In Face Of Nurses And Two
Policemen
COShOCtOn County Man Put
On Big Show
In This City At Early Hour
On Friday
And Finally Shoots Himself
Through Bowels
Condition Reported To Be
Serious On Saturday

After terrorizing the nurses with a
revolver and after putting up a fight
with the police at the Mt. Vernon Med
ical and Surgical Sanitarium early
Friday morning, Bonner Graham, of
Clark, Ohio, a patient, turned the
weapon upon himself and fired bull
let into his left side just above the
hip. None of the persons about the
sanitarium were injured. Graham is
now at the institution and is in crit
ical condition.
At about 2:45 o'clock in the morning
a disturbance was heard in Graham's
room. A nurse went to his door to
investigate l1d found him in the room
fully dressed and with a % calibre
revolver in his hand. He fiourished
the weapon and frightened her. She
reported the affair to DR.. Fisher who
sent call to the police. Officers Nc
Elroy and George responded and were
met at the door by the doctor who
explained the situation to them. They
went upstairs to the mans room. He
was still holding the revolver and was
still dressed. When he saw the offic-
ers, he leaped over the bed in the
room and ran in a closet, jerking the
door shut behind him. The officers
went after him and dragged him from
the closet. Graham was holding the
weapon in both of his hands but made
no effort to shoot at the time. After
a struggle, the policemen managed to
get one hand away from the revolver.
AS the hand was jerked loose, Graham
pointed the muzzle toward his side
and fired.
Immediately after firing the shot, he
ceased to struggle and appeared to be
thickness of his clothing and the small
calibre of the weapon, the othcers be-
neved the bullet had penetrated only
short distance into his body. This
supposition was wrong, however, as an
examination revealed the fact that the
pall had entered just inside of his hip
bone and had pierced his bowels.
The injured man seemed to be sinking
rapidly Friday morning and no effort
was made to perform an operation.
He seemed to be a tritie stronger
Friday evening, however, and an op-
GRAFTON was performed in an effort to
locate the bullet. 1t was found that
it had pierced the bowels SO the effort
to remove it was abandoned.
Graham is a young man who had
been attending college at Academia
Hard study, it is believed, caused a
general breakdown of his nervous
system SO he entered the Sanitarium
few days for treatment during the
holidays vacation. He had not shown
any signs of violent outbreak at any
time previous to his action Friday
morning and, consequently, the nurses
were entirely unprepared for such an
occasion. On Christmas day he had
talked to several persons and told
them that was to be his last day.
Thinking that he meant that it was to
be his last day at the Sanitarium, the
persons that he talked to did not
gather the significance of his words.
Since the episode of Friday morning,
it is believed that he meant by his
statements that he was going to com
NIT suicide.

BAD WRECK

William Smith The Boy Who

William Smith The Boy Who
Prevented The Wreck

Discovering a broken rail only few
hundred yards ahead of an incoming
passenger train croWdd with passen-
gers, William Smith, a boy IL years of
age, rushed down the track about one
hundred feet from the break and by
wild gestures, brought the train to a
stop and averted a bad wreck Friday
morning on the Pennsylvania railroad
track west of the station at Bangs. 1t
was passenger train No. 529, north
bound, due in Mt. Vernon at e:49
o'clock.
The brave lad who is the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Curtis Smith, residing
about one mile west of Bangs, left his
acme and started to walk to the viii
lage. He chose the railroad tracks
as his path and had reached the west
end of the siding just outside of the
own when he discovered the broken
all which was on the main track. 1t
Sas then that he displayed nerve and
presence of mind remarkable for a
iouth of his age.
Just previous to his finding the
amaged section of rail, young Smith
card the north-bound passenger
histle for Bangs. Without shouting
using valuable time to try to call
ne attention of someone else, he
1rned and ran down the track toward
he approaching train and, stopping,
TODD squarely between the rails and
}aived his arms frantically in the air.
rhe engineer saw him and slowed
lown the engine, but approached very
lear before stopping. When the train
vas brought to stop, the train crew
ran forward to ascertain the reason
'or the delay. The lad explained to
Them that the rail was broken only a
hort distance ahead and an investi.
cation proved that this was so. 1t

nave caused a serious wreck.
