That Dog Pound.

A lady asked the Tidings repre-
sentative to investigate the Ashland
dog pound, saying that a small boy
told her that dogs were kept in the
pound indefinitely without food OF
water. The reporter interviewed
Chief Porter, who states that all dogs
under the law must be kept AS hours
before killing. All dogs when con-
fined are kept constantly supplied
with fresh water and are fed three
times day. That dog howls when
shut in strange place is no evil
dence that it is either hungry or

ANT|-WEED BILL IS
TO Be DRAFTED NOW
Health Officer Davis and
City Attorney Bond Dis
cuss Matter. l.

An anti-weed ordinance will be draft
ed and presented to the council for
the approval of that organization at a
meeting in the near future. City
Health Officer Davis and Attorney
Bond had a consultation yesterday
morning as to whether it would be le-
gal to draft an ordinance compelling
lot owners to cut down the weeds in
their vacant lots. Mr. Bond said this
could easily be done.
The weeds are insanitary and a pub
lie nuisance. In many of the lots the
weeds are so high that they obstruct
the view of nearby residents to the
street.
Many complaints have been made
against weeds in various lots in the
city. Complaints have been made
against the condition of a lot on the
National road. The lot is located on
the north side of the street between
Fourth and Fifth. The field is covered
with milk weeds, which send off OBJ
noXious seed.

Large Number of Men Drag

Evening Until Late Mon

EE; SzT

The body of Arthur Oler, who was
drowned in lake at Urbana, Ohio
Saturday afternoon, was recovered
Monday evening and arrived in Rich
mond about 4:30 o'clock this morning
over the Pennsylvania railroad. 1t was
accompanied by Madison Oler, father
of Arthur Oler, George Bussen and
Charles King, who had assisted in the
effort to find the body
The father was notified of the trag-
edy late Saturday night and went to
Urbana early Sunday morning. He
went to the lake and met James Bos-
Ter, foreman of the Urbana Tool and
Die shops, where Oler had been en-
ployed six weeks. Bosler and many
other employees were dragging the lake
to recover the body, but all efforts
they had made up to that time proved
unavailing.
Tried to Get Diver.
A personal canvass of Oilers fellow
workmen netted subscription fund of
$25 to defray the expenses of a diver,
but the diver at Celina, Ohio, said he
had no diving suit and feared to go
under the clear, cold water of the lake
without one
With graphing hooks and boats, the
men of the shops worked all day Sun
day trying to locate the body. They
worked in a space on the lake eighteen
feet in diameter, including the spot
where Oler was seen to go down, but
ended Sunday evening with no sue
cessful RESULTS.
Monday morning, the foreman an
nounced that the shops would be
closed for the day and asked all en-
ployes to assist in the work of at
tempting to recover the body of Oler.
Forty of the sixty employees went to
the lake, which covers about four
acres.
Last Effort a Success.
Upon Madison Oilers suggestion, a
new type of graphing hook was made,
larger than the one which the men had
been using. This, attached to a thirty
five foot rope. the end of which the
men on the bank held, was carried in
boat to the middle of the lake

UNDERWOOD LOSES
HIS TEMPER WHEN
HE SEES MULHALL
Drops Bland Smile and With
Flashing Eyes Denoun-
ces Lobbyist.
ATTACK UNEXPECTED
National News Association


WASHINGTON, July 29.-Repre-
sentative Underwood, Democratic
leader of the house, appeared before
the lobby investigating committee to-
day and charged that Colonel NJ. NJ.
Mulhall, the lobbyist, was a black
mailer.
The appearance of Underwood was
not on the program. His usual bland
smile was missing. Instead, his eyes
flashed and he was visibly angry.
Underwood was not sworn, having
become involved in an argument with
Senator Reed before Senator Overman
of the committee had an opportunity to
place him under oath.
Then He Saw Mulhall.
rs this Mulhall?" inquired Under
wood, pointing his finger at the lobby
ist, who was sitting in the witness
attitude.
In the public interest" declared
Underwood, Il think men who take lib
critics with the names of public men
should be confronted and made to
prove their charges" roared Under
wood
Il regard this man as a blackmailer.
He has even blackmailed the men who
employed him"
Underwood denied that Mulhall had
ever talked with him about legislation
before congress, and said he had
never before seen him.

FERT|G WAS FOUND
GUILTY YESTERDAY
Sold Ice Cream Which Did
Not Have Enough But
ter Fat in 1t.

The case of Dayton Fertig, charged
with selling ice cream which did not
have the required amount of butter
fat, went to the jury yesterday after
noon at AIS o'clock, and after a ses-
sion lasting until $50 O'Clock a ver-
dict of guilty was returned against
the defendant.
The case was bitterly contested, and
the counsel for the defense, Shiveley
Shiveley, battled over every point
brought out by the state. Ice cream
is not a food was the declaration of
Ray X. Shiveley. "Who ever heard
of people going into a drug store to
procure ice cream to sustain them
selves?' Mr.. Shiveley said that the
law was a ridiculous one, compelling
ice cream manufacturers to make ice
cream containing eight per cent but
ter fat. Ice cream, they argued, was
purchased as a refreshment rather
than for the nutriment it contained
The defense also argued that the ice
cream which was taken from Fertig's
establishment was placed in a cooler
at Bender's ice cream plant.
Charges by Defense.
1t was intimated that it would have
been an easy matter to substitute the
ice cream which was taken from Fer
tig with ice cream not as pure 1t was
charged that Dairy Inspector Flock
acted improperly, and he was subject
to criticism for the ma nner in which
he was alleged to have acted in his
official capacity.
Flock stated to the court that he
had placed the ice cream in the cooler
at Bender's establishment because he
did not want to go to the extra ex-
pense of procuring ice.
The prosecutor pointed out that the
law in Indiana was not a ridiculous
one, for in other states the required
per cent of butter fat is greater than
it is in this state. The federal statute
requires that the percent of butter fat
shall be twelve.
Charles Easley will be tried on the
same charge Thursday. He procured
ice cream from Fertig and it was
found to contain the same per cent
of butter fat as that examined 1t is
probable that a plea of guilty will be
entered as result of the outcome of
the Fertig trial.

FINDING OF OLER'S BODY
PROVED DIFFICULT TASK

The second time il was dropped in,
Oilers body came to the surface like a
cork. but only the head and shoulders
showing. The body was brought to the
shore soon afterward. The body was
found Is feet from where Oler had
gone down.
The features were distorted and dis
figured by the length of time the body
had been in the water. The body was
recovered about o'clock Monday
evening Oler was drowned at 6
O'Clock Saturday evening.
The exact cause of the drowning will
never be known. but il is believed
either the cold water of the lake pro-
duced cramps or he was attacked by
heart trouble.
Oler had been invited on a fishing
trip with a farmer and his two broth
ers. Their names were not learned.
The four men went to the lake and
saw the boat anchored in the middle
of the water. Oler volunteered TO
swim out and bring it back to shore
He divested himself of his clothing
and waded into the lake. He sank
nearly to his hips in the mud, and then
turning around, joked with his com
panions. He knew they could not
swim and with a laugh remarked
Gee, I'd be in an awful fix if l got
cramps out there and you couldn't
help me, wouldn't L."
Joked With Companions.
He took a long, wooden rail with
him to help his progress through the
deep mud and, with his companions
watching him, finally came to within
two lengths of the boat, where the
water was eighteen feet deep. He was
seen to throw the rail to one side, turn
partially around and take two strokes
and then go under He made no out.

first time, but he could be seen found
ering in the water. He went down
again to disappear until found Mon
day evening.
When the three farmers realized
what had happened they quickly OBJ
tanned assistance and the attempt tC
find his body was begun.
Oilers body was at the Wilson, Pohl

not permitted to view the remains be

The funeral was held at O'Clock
