IN JAIL FOR YEAR
Nature of Charge Against
Donald Nestor Not
Determined.

That Donald Nestor, 10, may wait
for a year in the county Jail before
charges are placed against him for
the assault ne made on Richard Cook.
81, on October 6. was the statement of
Prosecuting Attorney Keller today.
Cook is still in a Piqua hospital and
his condition is said to be improving,
despite the fact that pair of six-inch
scissors blades were rammed into his
head, lodging at the case of the brain.
May Charge Murder.
II Cook dies within a year and a
day after the assault, Nestor will be
charged with murder. If Cook lives
beyond that time the charge will be
assault and battery with intent to kill.
Should Cook show such marked I'M
provement that there is little danger
of his dying of the wound, charges
may be filed before the time limit set
by law. In that case. the charge will
be assault and battery with intent to
kill.
Nestor is still in the county Jail and
does not seem to worry about his pre-
dicament. He admits stabbing Cook,
and says when the actual assault oc-

Cook Now Conscious.
The stabbing was done in front of
the Grand saloon on Main street short

and his condition finally became so
bad that he was operated on and the

CHIEF WANTS DRILL
FOR FIRE FIGHTERS
Miller Approves Training
School of Mayor-Eiect
Robbins.
CITES DAYTON PLAN
Old South E Street Hose
House Probable Instruc-
ton Place.

Fire Chief Miller expressed approx
al today of Mayor-elect Robbins plan
to improve the physical fitness OF the
members of the fire department by re-
quiring prescribed daily exercises. and
of his plan to increase their efficiency
in fighting fires by providing fire
drills
Il believe it would be a very good
thing" said Chief Miller. If firemen
at each hose house were required each
day to 60 through a brisk period of
setting up exercises. These exercises
would keep the men in excellent ply
steal condition and in a short time
they would be able TO stand up under
the hardest kind OF work they might
be called upon TO perform"
The chief believes ii would be a
good plan to utilize the old fire engine
house on South + street as fire drill
training place. The second floor of
this building is now used by one or
two organizations as a meeting place
and could continue to be used for such
purposes even if the building was used
as school for firemen.
Cites Dayton Example.
In Dayton the fire department has
large frame tower located near one
of the engine houses which is used
for ladder practice. nose carrying
practice, etc, and the efficiency of the
Dayton firemen has been greatly in
creased by this devise" Miller said.
He said it would not be necessary
for Richmond TO go to the expense of
erecting such a tower if the old south
end engine house could be used for
fire drill purposes.
40 he hull eli snu
could be erected, extending from the
roof to the ground floor with a hole
little larger than a mans body cut
in the second floor so the men could
slide through it," said the chief. "A
winding stairway could be constructed
in the building so the firemen could
be taught the proper way of carrying
a hose into a burning building. or car
rying a ladder up to the top floor.
From the windows of the top floor
ropes could be thrown out to teach the
men how to haul up hose from the out
side. On the outer walls of the build
ing ladders could be placed to teach
the men how to run up them in a rapid
but safe manner; how TO carry people
down them and how to take up chemi
cal tanks"
I If the fire department could secure
the use of the old South E street en-
gine house as a training school he
would have each fire company take
training in fire drill at certain time
each week. II for instance the No
company was at drill and an alarm
came in from its district the No 4
company could respond to the call. 1t
would never be the practice to have
all the fire companies at drill at the
same time.

About dozen sailors, all young,

storming party swooped down on the
cart news stand of Milard Price, a So

the Fourth avenue and Weslake boule-
ward. The cart was broken to splint-

Socialistic papers and magazines were

The mob then rushed to a storeroOm

found the place deserted. They then
proceeded to the Socialist headquart-
