POPULAR
Chord Struck In Tht
Candidacy Of AshbrOOk
Democrats OF Knox Co. Rally
ing To His Support

The circulation of petitions in Knox
county for the candidacy of Congress.
man William A. Ashbrook for renom.
ination in this district, has struck a
popular chord. With rare exceptions,
Democrats of Knox county who have
been given the opportunity to sign
their names, and thus declare their
support of Ashbrook, have eagerly af-
fixed their signatures to the docu-
ment. Congressman Ashbrook's ex-
tensive personal acquaintance in Knox
county has brought to the front hun
dreds of Democrats to enlist in active
work in behalf of his candidacy. Ash
brooks activity in congress and his
reputation as congressman who does
things has preceded him, and the de-
sire for his denomination is strongly
manifest throughout the county. So
popular is Ashbrook's candidacy that
it is altogether likely that the petit
tions in his behalf will bear the sigma
lures of three-fourths of the Demo
Gratis of Knox county when they are
turned in to the board of elections.
Reports from the other counties
show that similar sentiment in favor
of Ashbrook exists throughout the dis
trict.

And Chinaman Has Very
Narrow Escape From Death
Overcome With Smoke Is
Rescued By The Police
Blaze Started In Star Laundry
, Tuesday Night
And Much Damage Done To
Interior OF Building
Firemen Had Much Difficulty
In Fighting Flames

The Star Laundry operated by Char
lie Hop in the building owned by the
Rowley estate on the north east cor
ner of Main and Front streets, was
gutted by fire which started Tuesday
. night shortly after 1O:3O o'clock. Hop,
nearly suffocated by smoke, was res
cued from death by the police who
dragged him from his bed in one of the
burning rooms.
The cause of the fire is not known.
When discovered it had gained strong
headway and was burning in the front
room facing Main street and also in
a small back room which was used as
a bed room by the proprietor of the
laundry The police, who were on the
scene ahead of the firemen, failed to
discover Hop in the crowd Of specta-
tors on the street nor could they see
him in the front or Office room. Believ-
ing that he was trapped somewhere in
the building by the flames, they en-
tered the building and made their way
to the back room which has only one
window opening onto Front street.
This was closed. When they found
him, Hop was almost unconscious and
was lying on the bed. When he had
been rescued and was revived suf-
ficiently to explain matters, he said
that he was awakened by the smoke
which had filled his room, but had in
hailed such quantity of it that he
was unable to rise to his feet. Just
before the police found him the bed
had caught fire and almost the entire
room was blazing.
The building in which the fire oc-
CURED is old and dry and the firemen
found a great deal of difficulty in fight
ing it. The flames had spread to all
of the rooms in the laundry and the
the streams could not be played on
one spot without the necessity of
abandoning some other burning por-
ton. Finally, however, it was brought
under control and was then, to the be-
lief of the firemen, extinguished. The
hose cart and ladder wagon were re-
turned to the engine house and all
was quiet for about one half hour. Sud-
denly a blaze was discovered by a
spectator to be issuing from the roof
of the damaged building. Another
alarm was sent in and another fight
was successfully made to extinguish
the blaze which had broken out again.

A suit for divorce has been COM
menced in the court of common pleas
of Knox county by Lucina Swank
against Jacob G. Swank. The plaintiff
states that they were married May 20,
1897, and that no children were born
to them. The plaintiff charges the
defendant with cruelty and states that
the defendant called her vile names
and said that he cared no more for
her than dog. The allegation is
made that the defendant would refuse
to hitch the horse to the buggy for the
plaintiff, but that he would go to the
neighbors and hitch up horses for the
women. 1t is further alleged that the
defendant refused and neglected to
provide for the plaintiff, who has been
compelled to live with her brothers
and sisters in Berlin township. 1t is
claimed that the defendant is the own
er of land in Richland county. The
plaintiff asks for an injunction re-
straining the defendant from disposing
of the land. A temporary restraining
order has been granted by Probate
Judge Wilkins. Upon final hearing the
plaintiff asks for divorce and ali
mony and that she may be restored
to her maiden name, Lucina Brubaker

To Play Otterbein At Gambler
On Saturday

Gambler, o., Oct. l = Coach Mat

team hard this week to get in good
shape to meet the unusually strong
Otterbein eleven Saturday afternoon.
The game. which will be Kenyon's first
big contest of the season, will be
played on Benson Field at Gambler
1t will be good game to see. In
view of the fact that Otterbein defeat
ed Ohio Wesleyan last Saturday, there
is sufficient reason to believe that the
