A serious cutting affair took
place last Thursday night in the
home of Daniel Raisnor on East
Fourth street. 1t seems that
Mrs. Charley Slonaker was being
entertained there that night by
a niece of Mr.. Raishor and her
gentleman friend, when Charley
Slonaker, who had been working
in Cleveland, made his appuar
ance about 10 O'Clock that night
and began starting trouble. All
of them, on seeing the condition
was in, made their es-
cape from the house or hid them
selves, and then SLonaker began
to wreak his vengeance on Mr.
Raisnor, terribly cutting him a.
bout the face and head with a
knife inflicting wounds that re-
quired nearly one hundred stitch
es to close up and from which
Mr.. Raisnor lost considerable
blood, causing him to become
helpless from its loss. After
wards Slonsker broke up all the
furniture, fixtures and dishes in
the house that he could lay his
hands on, then lett ana was aF-

talking to parties who had been
attracted to the scene and locked

will recover from his injuries in
time, but will be badly disfgured.

hearing Friday evening in the

AUGUST BELMONT, 62 TODAY,
 U. s. AGENT OF ROTHSCHILDS

August Belmont, the New York traction naagnate and head of the great banking house which repre-
 sents the Rothschilds in America. was born in New York sixty-two years ago today. The house of Belmont,
 of which he is the chief. was founded by his father, August Belmont, Sr., who was born in Germany nearly Q. century ago. The elder Belmont was apprenticed at the age of fourteen to the Rothschild's banking house i4 Frankfort, where he received his first lessons in high finance. He showed such aptitude that, when only twenty one, he was sent to Havana to look after the firm s interests in Cuba. There he displayed such genius that he was speedily promoted to New York where he established the firm of August Belmont & Co, and, with the wealth and influence of the great European banking house behind him. soon became financial power in the new world. He was active in poll tics, as a Democrat, and represented
 his adopted country abroad as con sul-general of Austria and minister to Holland. His son August al- though younger than Perry Belmont
 who chose the law as q profession, be- came the head of the house when the founder died in 1890. and for a quarter Of century he has been numbered among the great men of Wall street. In addition to. his bank ing interests, he is a large holder of the stock of the corporation operat- ing the New York subways and ele- vated lines, and the nickels of the strap hangers of Gotham have added largely to the family fortune. Aside from finance, his chief interest is racing, and he was prominent fig ure on the turf when the sport of kings f1ourished in New York. He is also yachtsman and a patron of aviation His first wife died in 1898.

Hill Game-SprInfieId Reds
Nezt Sunday.

Manager OFT has secured the famous
Springfield Reds for next Sundays at
traction at Mercelina Field. Davis will
likely start the game, with Williams in
| reserve.
A fair sized crowd congregated at Mer-
celina Field last Sunday for the first
game of the season, and roundly cheered
the Celina Braves as they stole the bacon
from the Lima K. G. E. team by big
rally in the eighth inning
Barring the fourth and eighth innings
the game was fast, and interesting and
cleanly played.
Celina opened in their half OF the first
when, after Yaeger had famed, Cook lac
ed hard drive to left which netted him
two bases. Frederick was safe on a hard
liner between short and third, and ad-
vanced to second on the first strike to
Betz. With two and three on the hard
hitting right fielder, Wesbay placed one
over the center of the plate, which Betty
clouted down the third base line, Cook
Hand Frederick scoring. Betz was out,
McNamire to Wesby in trying to score
on a passed ball and G. Myers rolled out,
Mallory to Hites Three hits, two runs.
There was nothing doing on either side,
though both clubs threatened to score,
until the fourth when the visitors took
the lead.
Williams started the trouble by walk
ing Pellegrini, first man up and poor
hitter Malloy hit to right for two bases,
scoring the visitors first run. Williams
again fell down on McNamire whom he
had previously famed, passing him four
wide ones Frederick then let sizzler
from Yost's bat skip through him, Nal
10y scoring. Curtis famed but Hites
singled to center, sending in McNamire.
Big George Myers fumbled the play and
Yost also scored. Wesbay famed and

Davis to bat for him in the fifth, but he

on an error of Yosts, c. Myers was safe
on an error of Ainslee's. j. Myers was

A MercInary Set

Representative Bailey recently re-
ceiyed a letter in regard to certain
Mexican matters brought to his Of
fetal notice by American residents of
the City of Mexico in which it was
stated that the Americans in question
had no desire to leave the capital of
the revolution-torn republic. Appar-
emily they felt perfectly secure; and
they frankly stated that the stories
of atrocities inflicted upon Americans
by the waring factions were fabrica-
tions pure and simple, designed to
injure President Wilson and Secre-
tary Bryan and to promote Republi-
can success in 1916. AS the writer
of the letter is himself Republican
and as it seems that most of the vol
untary American exiles in Mexico are
also of that political faith, it would
appear reasonable that the view eX-
pressed by Mr.. Bail 2y's correspond
ent is more trustworthy than the lur-
id tales of robbery and murder which
obviously emanate from the jingo
sources and the evident purpose of
which is to inflame opinion here at
home against the President with re-
spect to his Mexican policy.-Johns-
town Democrat.

IT CAUGHT EN-.
Manager QuerInjeRn's Auto Show
Attracted Host Of People
In COzy Quarters.

More carnations were worn by Ce
linaians, both old and young, last
Tuesday and Wednesday than ever
before In the history OF the town.
He or she's been at the auto show
was the enjOinder as men, women
and children passed with a pretty
carnation, souvenirs given by Mana
ger A. E. Querinjean to visitors at
the Celina Auto Company's new
headquarters.
There was hardly a house in the
town that did not contain carnation,
due to Manager Querinjean's liberal
ty in making the hearts of school
children glad, with one of the pretty
souvenirs.
Celina's first automobile show,
consequent through the push Of Mr.
Querinjean. came to a close Wednes-
day night, with the newly remodelled
garage in the Younger building
ablaZe with lights and crowded with
people from this city and neighbor-
ing towns. The hum of the eight
cyelinder Cadillac, the siX-cyclinder
Paige and the six and four cyclinder
Bucks were drowned by the chatter
of the sightseeing crowd and the Ce-
lima band which furnished music for
the occasion.
Manager Querinjean has fitted up
a pretty home for the Celina Auto and
given Celna one of the best equipped
and most up to date garages in
northwestern Ohio, and with able
and accommodating mechanics in VIM.
Brown and Arthur Siler can take
care of any auto repair work care
fully and with despatch
Mr.. Querinjean has a reputation
for doing things and nothing was left
undone in this move to more com
mOdiOus quarters and in the show
which he put on. An edition of the
Blue Book, the Automobilists route
guide, stamped with compliments of
the Celina Auto Company, was dis
tributed to all buyers at the show.
Besides a large amount of supplies
sold during the show, Mr.. Querinjean
sold two Cadillac-eights, one to j. II.
Pulskamp and the other to j. e.
Champion.
Automobilists either in this city
and county or travelling through will
find the best of accommodation and
good service, with a complete line of
supplies at the Celina Auto Company,
and always a pleasing and hustling
manager at their services.

Proving Himself a Failure

The proposal to ask the legisla-
ture to submit constitutional
amendment for recall with the pro-
vision that a recall election be held
within thirty days after the filing of
a proper petition therefor is seen to
be direct slap at Willis and is the
bitterest arraignment Of inefficiency
ever presented in Ohio against a
chief executive. Coming as it does
thus early in his term of Office it is
proof positive of the utter failure of
Willis as a governor. Had Governor
Willis been aught else than a bitter
partisan, a spokesman who has pros
tituted the state educational institu-
tions by interfering with appoint
ments of teachers; who has violated
the civil service laws by overriding
the classified provisions; who has
shown his utter indifference of CON
stitutional and statutory law; whose
nearly every act debases the high Of
fee whic hhe occupies; whose inter
ference with the legislature has rem
dered that body the butt of ridicule;
had there been a single redeeming
feature in all his acts as an executive
such propositions would not gain a
serious hearing. 1t is not anticipat-
ed that the legislature will permit
the resolution to be passed, but the
powers of the people in such matters
will be called to notice. Then a pc
tition to gain the same hearing at the
November election will follow as a
matter of course. There is little
likelihood of the pecall being invoked
even il secured as q constitutional
provision, but it's mere existence will
have beneficial effect on one who
has no regard for the law and who
sees mo use in being mealy-mouthed
about it,"
