The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1915-04-30

Considerable excitement prevailed
for Z time il the neighborhood be-
tween North and Union streets on M.
Court street Monday over the peculiar
actions Of dog, which was thought
to be mad. Marshal gates was noti-
fed and shot the dog at the rear Of the
o. O. Van Deusen house.
Auto and motorcycle speeders will
do well to hold back q little hence
forth, as Marshal Gates has struck a
new lead in landing violators Of the
speed ordinance. Now instead Of
the watchful waiting policy, John hops
into an auto himself and goes out and
finds them. About dozen speeders
who failed to see John first last Sun
day have been notified Of what they
were doing and given ample time to
appear before the mayor.
While ascending a ladder to his
hay-mow Sunday morning and when
upon the top round, the ladder slipped
and precipitated Jerry Smell to the
first floor, a distance Of about ten feet.
Mr.. Smell alighted upon the base Of
his spine, causing him great pain and
incapacitating him from work for a
few days. Considering Mr., SHELLS
ayoirdupois and the distance he fell, it
seems miraculous that his injuries
were not more serious.
We have no desire to criticize the
village authorities, but we wonder
why the new speed signs that were
recently put up were not made to read
Is or 20 miles as the speed limit, in
stead Of 8 miles per hour. Eight miles
is not inforced and is not intended to
be inforced. A driver may violate the
law to the extent Of IL to 15 miles
and go free, yet if he speeds up above
that he is liable to fine. Why
wouldn't it be better to put the limit
high enough and then hold motorists
to that limit.
With the advent Of Saturday
night there was cast upon the police
shore another case of intoxication.
About 9 o'clock Marshall Gates was di-
rected to Vine street near Washing
ton, where he found stretched out on
the walk the limp form Of Bruce
Howell, who had been doing odd jobs
about town for the previous week.
Monday morning he told Mayor Ran
dali his condition Saturday night was
not due to drunkenness so much as
the action Of a defective heart. Some
features of the case Indicated that
Howell was telling the truth ,or par
tally so, and the mayor gave him a
suspended sentence Of $40 and costs.
Howell possessed receipts showing
him to be member Of the Odd Eel
lows lodge in good standing.
Married at the Methodist parson-
age on Saturday, April "a, Mr.. Clancy
Gault, formerly clerk at Foote & Hart
mans grocery, and Miss May Gray Of
Medina. The young people will make
their home on a dairy farm just out
side the town Of Andover, Astabula
county, Ohio.
Not unlike the increased atten-
dance at Sunday school for two or thre
weeks proceeding Christmas, was the
occasion at the Church Of Christ last
Friday evening, when the older mem
bers Of the Sunday school gave a sup
per to the younger members as a for
felt for having not equalled them in
the point of attendance at classes.
Nearly 200 sat at table and enjoyed a
repast fit for kings. AS the great con-
course filed into the banquet room
they passed an orchestra whose music
possessed all the atmosphere Of the
streets Of Cairo. Following dinner the
women of the Sunday school pulled off
a tea party in pantomime, which, con-
sidering the hurried manner in which
the costuming was done, was cleverly
presented and greatly enjoyed.
