SUDDEN DEATH OF
Medina man

What came as a shock to his fellow
employees and the community, as well
as his family was the announcement
Thursday morning of the sudden death
from heart failure of Louis w. Mott,
while at his work in the wood depart
ment of the A. l. Root Co.
Mr.. Mott, according to the widow,
left home at the usual time apparent
ly in the best of health and spirits and
was in an unusually happy frame of
mind while at breakfast. At $3.50 he
was dead. He lived only brief time
after stricken. He was seen to gasp
and stagger by fellow employee, who
grasped him before he fell. DR.. Rob
inson was summoned, but the unfor-
tunate man expired before any assis-
tance could be rendered. Mr.. Mott
had long had a defective heart anC
was aware that death would .eyentu,
| ally come to him with suddenness.
The deceased is survived by the wild
ow and an ight-year-old son, Bernard
also by his mother, three sisters and
three brothers. The latter, Henry
Albert and William and two sisters,
Mrs. Acker and maiden sister, re-
side in Liverpool, the remaining sis
ter, Mrs. Singler, residing in Camp
bellsvilIe, Ky.
The deceased was born in Liverpool.

death. Funeral services will be held
at St. Martins church, Liverpool, Sat
urday morning at 9 o'clock, central

WADSWORTH WANTS
MEDINA BUS Line

Since the successful operation Of the
automobile bus line between Creston
and Wadsworth recently inaugurated,
the query has been called forth:
Why not one from Wadsworth to
Medina? Both towns would be bene-
fited and would be literally patron
lied, it being need in Wadsworth
for some direct communication with
the county seat, while Medina people
not only want to be in touch with
Wadsworth, but with facilities offered
by the larger city Of Akron, which
could be reached on the N. o. T. from
Wadsworth.
With practically improved roads all
the way to Wadsworth from here, and
with the Akron traffic as feeders, such
service should be profitable say Wads-
worth people.
The means Of communication be-
tween Wadsworth and Medina is a
question Of greater moment than is
generally realized. The interests Of
the two villages are almost identical
and there should be method-publiC
conveyance of some kind-that woulc
bring the people of the two commun
tiles closer together, in a social anc
business way.

DoYLEsTowN's BIG FIRE

Fire that ragged all last week Thurs
day afternoon in Doylestown caused
property loss estimated at about $10,-
900.
The blaze completely demolished the
Presbyterian church., an old landmark
built in 1850 which housed $4,000
pipe organ, and left nothing but the
stone foundations.
Houses and barns two blocks away
from where the fire first started were
destroyed, SO strong were the winds.
While the elements were working
against the village, the frenen were
hampered by an inadequate water sup
Iply Cistern water was all that was
available, more than HOO feet Of fire
hose had to be strung, Barberton
firemen assisted the local department.
Yhe fire started in an old barn in
the reartf the city hall. It is be-
llieved that sparks from the chimney
lof themill started the blaze.

Bond Buyers
Reject Purchase.

Two sets of bonds, one for the exten
sion of water and the other for the ex-
tension of sewers sold to Otis & Co.
of Cleveland by the council on We'd
nesday, the 18th, have been rejected by
that company on the grounds that the
proceedings of council with respect to
resolutions and advertising were not
in accord with legal requirements.
City Solicitor Seymour holds different
ly.
Council passed a resolution declar-
ing it's intention of extending water
and sewer in Districts Nos. l and 2,
whereas, according to Otis & Co.,
there should have been a separate res
olution for each district, and two sep
arate ordinances published, one declar-
ing the intention to proceed with the
work and the other to issue and sell
bonds.
The amount Of the water bonds was
$4,000 and that of the sewer bonds,
$8355.30. For some reason not known
to council Otis & Co. expressed will
ingness to accept the water bonds, but
as their original bid called for both
sets of bonds or none, council now re-
fuses to sell the water bonds to them.
Seasongood & Mayer of Cincinnati,
with whom council have done similar
business, were communicated with and
asked to renew their bid which was
opened at the same time as that of
Otis & Co. on the 18th. They agreed
to do so and transcripts of the coun-
ellis action was mailed them at once.
At special meeting of council Tues
day night the question was taken up
and a resolution passed authorizing
the sale of the bonds to the Cincinnati
company providing the latter il salts
fed with the previous action of coun-
ell with respect to the resolutions
passed and the publication as made.

DEATH COMES TO
GEORGE BOULT

Word was received this week of the
death Of Mr.. George Boult, former
Medina business man, on Sept. 22, at
Lane hospital, San Francisco, of ,pneu-
monia.
Mr.. Boult came to Medina in 1897,
and entered the dry goods business in
the Phoenix block, where he built up
a successful business. For three
years he was director of the Congre-
gational church choir. For many
years before coming to Medina he, was
one Of the foremost vocal musicians af

Mrs. Zoe Prouty Boult, who also had
achieved fame in the metropolitan mu-
sic world, both prospered in the artis-
tic field.
The deceased was man of genial
nature, one whom to know was to be
his friend. He held high rank in the
Masonic lodge.
But little has been learned as yet
concerning the circumstances surround
ing his death other than the date and

SERIOUS OFFENsE CHARGED


n On an affidavit sworn out by Jacob
Hildebrand of Ashland, Jonas Friedt
whose home is in Montville, this county
was arrested and arraigned before
Squire ]. C. Sloan in Ashland last
Friday, the charge being that by in
timidation and deception he took and
detained one Bessie Hildebrand with
intent to defile her. Friedt was ar
rested at the Medina fair by Officer
Mish of Ashland. Friedt waived ex-
animation and was bound over to the
grand jury under $500 bond
On previous occasion Friedt and
the Hildebrand woman, the latter a
mother of several children, ran away
together, for which Friedt received a
sentence on the charge of unlawful
cohabitation. The week of the fair
the woman left home again and, sus-
pecting that she had gone with Friedt,
the latter was located on the fair
grounds and arrested. Marshal John
Gates assisted Officer Mish in locat-
ing Friedt. Friedt denied amphatic-
ally that he knew the whereabouts of
the woman or had been in her COM
pany since his previous escapade and,
fearing lest he should be suspected a
second time, had kept q diary Of his
movements ever since, by which he
declares he can easily prove an alibi.

Let Us Observe
Community Day

That the special thought Of the peo-
pie of each city, town, village and rural
community be centered upon the better
things of life in that community Sun
day, October 3, has been designated
as Community Day on which occasion
ministers throughout the country will
be asked to deliver message at either
the morning or the evening service up
on home patriotism and the part that
every Iperson should have in building
up his own communicable local busi-
ness interests, the churches, schools
and society. The chautauqua has
stimulated this community betterment
movement in many cities ana towns
but that is only seven days in the
year and il is desired that the same
spirit be fostered all through the year
to the end that adequate provision be
made for proper recreation, amuse,
nnents social life and instruction in the
responsibilities Of citizenship.
How many people there are who arc
affiliated with the church and Sunday
school, who are very good to their owl
families and to those in their own par
ticular circle but to the world outside
are as cold as clam, with never !
thought for the broader welfare of tht
community, never a bit Of encourage
rnent for those who are trying to do !
useful work in the world.
Home patriotism affords a big them,

New Gas Well Soon
Will Feed Main Line

The big gas vein of more than 1000,
900 cubic feet flow per day which
dril'ers struck on the Ernest Wallace
farm west Of town last week Wednes-
day night will soon be feeding the
main line of the Medina Gas & Fuel
Co. The final tubing has been placed
and the well capped and the company
reports that the piping connecting the
we'll with the main line will be begun
within week or ten days. The pipe
line will run across the Branch road,
thence down by the fair grounds to a
point just south of Lafayette Road
near the B. & 0. tracks, where it will
be attached to the main line.
AS soon as the derrick can be moved
from the present location, which is
now being done, it will be anchored or
the G. N. Hazen farm adjoining the
Wallace farm on the west and another
well drilled there.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
undertaking of drilling gas well may
be gained when it is stated that the
expense of drilling we'll to the depth
Of the one on the Wallace farm ap-
proximates $1,000 or $4,000. The lat
ter well was the second one drilled on
that farm, the first one being a fail
ure on account of the loss of the drill
ing tools in the well which it was i'm
possible to recover. The two wells are
said to have cost about $4,000.

KIN UNKNOWN;
POTTER'S field?

Unless relatives or interested
friends Of Jan Loene, Russian Pole,
who was accidentally killed from a fall
on the w. A. Kinch farm near Chip
pewa Lake last week Tuesday, can be-
located BY Friday Of this week, It will
become necessary to inter the body in
Potter's field.
Undertaken Sargent, in whose es-
tablishment the body now rests, has
practically exhausted every effort to
gain some trace of the unfortunate
mans relatives or some one who may
have been acquainted with him. Mr.
Sargent spent an entire day in Cleve-
land and Newburgh in vain endeavor
to get some substantial information.
At a Newburgh bank where it was
believed Loene either had or had had
an account, the name of no such per-
son could be found. Sargent also
placed an advertisement in the weekly
Polonia W Ameryce, the official organ
for q very large district Of Polish peo-
pie through the country.
The inscription found on sheet of
paper in the pocket of Loene's cloth
ing, which could not be deciphered
here and which it was hoped might
convey some tangible information as
to the mans identity, was translated
by clerk in the Newburgh bank as
follows:
Works on the farm. Dear brother,
this is to let you know, by the grace
of God, am WE'LL"
Preceding the inscription was ev-
identity the dead mans name, which
most any one would at first sight de-
clare to be "Loene." The last four
letters are unmistakeable, but the
translator stated that the initial let
ter might not be L; that to Russian
or Pole it could easily be regarded as
G. Thus will appear the extreme diff
ficulty, even tho possible, of ever as
certaining the location of Loene's
relatives.
Earl Kinch, Loene's employer, says
that he was young man Of good hab-
its and undoubtedly lover of children
He had oftentimes bought little trink,
cts and toys for the Kinch children
and od stormy days, whenunabie to de
outside work, frequently carved things
for the children.
Kinch had been heard to allude tc
the burning of building in Newburgl
which had destroyed some of his clotl
ing in which was his bank book. Un.
dertaker Sargent visited the office Of
the fire marshal and was shown 3
record of every fire in that district az
far back as would be required, but wa.
unable to find one that could likely
have been the one spoken Of by Loene
There remains one more clue which
Mr.. Sargent will investigate this week
Loene has been known to mention tht
name of Stafford as connected will
the Newbergh bank in which he wa.
supposed to have an account, Mr.
Stafford is president of the bank, bur
was absent when Mr.. Sargent called
It is possible that Stafford may have
some personal acquaintance Will
Loene, tho it is not regarded as prob
able. Sargent will endeavor to Sc,
Stafford. Some time ago Loene lef

OBERLIN TRIMS MEDINA

The Medina football team, with a
small bunch of rooters, journeyed to
Oberlin last Friday for the opening
game of the football season. After
the stage-fright had worn off consider
ably, both teams got down to business
and, considering that it was the first
game of the season, some good foot
ball was played.
The Oberlin team had a snappy
backfeld and pair of good ends. Me
dina had a line that stopped every
thing that was started.
In the first half, although outplayed,
Oberlin managed to connect with a
foreward pass which netted them a
touchdown. They also worked good.
This was after Medina had success
fully pulled off touchdown from a
foreward pass, which was not allowed
on the rule that the pass was caught
more than five yards back of the
goal line, although no line was mark
ed until after the touchdown was
made. At the most it was an arbi-
trary decision for the referee.
In the second half Oberlin again
demonstrated Medina's inability to
stop foreward passes by getting an
other touchdown, score Ia to 0. Me
dina gained at will through Oberlin's
line, never failing to make first down
her line holding Oberln, many times
with loss. With the exception Of
the forward pass weakness Medina
played a good game and should make
an excellent showing.
Today the boys hoolSup with Lorain
game to be played on the schoo
grounds.
