FIRE
In A Home Discovered Just
In Time
Infant Had Narrow Escape
From Burning
Fl IE|F'

The sound made by falling pic
ture frame at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. William Mawer on North San
dusky street, probably saved the life
of an infant child Friday. Fire had
broken out in the room in which the
baby was lying, and the family was
given warning when the cord holding
a picture frame was burned off and al
lowed it to fall to the floor.
The fire was in an upstairs room.
One of the children had been playing
with matches and had set fire to some
clothing. Not realizing the serious
ness of his act, the child did not tell
of the fire that he had started and the
room was filled with smoke when the
danger was discovered. The firemen
we're not called. The members of the
family managed to beat out the flames
with their hands. The baby was un.
injured.

Another chapter in the Robert e..
Severns matter was added Friday af-
ternoon when "A writ of habeas corpus
was obtained through Judge Fulton
of the court of common pleas.
Severns was arrested some days ago
on charge of bootlegging and was
locked up in the county jail Prior
to that time a guardian was appoint
ed for the man in the probate court
of Knox county. The hearing of Sev-
erns on a charge OF bootlegging was
set for Friday before Mayor Perrine,
but continuance was granted upon
application of the attorney for the de-
fendant. On Friday afternoon, b. r..
Sapp, attorney for the defendant, went
to Newark where he asked for a
habeas corpus in the matter of the
detention of Robert E Severns,
charged with bootlegging. In the APP
plication it was stated that Severns
was imprisoned without legal author
adjudged so by the probate court of
Knox county on December 18, 1913.
For that reason the allegation is made
that the prisoner cannot be held to
answer to the charge named in the af-
fidavit filed by Chief of Police Parker.
Judge Fulton allowed the writ and
fixed the bond at 5000. The matter
will be heard by Judge Fulton in this
city on Tuesday, December 30
In the meantime Severns is in the
county jail, but the bootlegging hear
ing before the mayor cannat be pro-
ceeded with until after the habeas
corpus matter is disposed of in the
court of common pleas. The case
before the mayor was to have come
up for hearing on Monday. 1t will be
continued on that date,

SCHOOL NOTES


Chapel exercises, at the high school
Wednesday morning, were turned into
q hotly contested preliminary debate.
The teachers and Coach Dawson GER
tainly had an extremely difficult time
in choosing 2 teams consisting of four
each. Finally, however 1t was decid-
ed to pick ten who had spoken the.
best and then let them fight it out
among themselves to see what eight
would be the best qualified. The rea-
son for this was, in all probability, the
fact that all sixteen who tried out did
so well that it would be very difficult
to try to choose eight speakers who
did better than the rest. Then, again,
perhaps there were a few who did not
speak so well because it was their first
appearance before an audience, and
who could make a better account Of
themselves later on. Each candidate
certainly did wonderfully well and de-
serves a great deal of credit, but we
must not forget those who were unfor-
tunate enough not to be "put on" As
soon as work with the coach begins,
which will be after vacation, it will be
matter of, dig, dig, dig" until the
last speaker has given his rebuttal
speech for the last time. Let us hope
that that speech will bring us a vic
tory.
