FREEDOM FOR
CY SPANCLER
SENTENCE OF FERGUS
COUNTY MAN.
he KILLED LAWRENCE BOLAND.

Cyrus Spnnslcr's sentence has been
entitle him to immediate discharge
from the penitentiary.
Cyrus SpanEler was convicted Tor
killing Lawrence J. Boland at the for.
mer's ranch on Mcdonald creek on
January 10. 1910. He was tried and
convicted for murder in the second
degree, and sentenced to 25 years in
the penitentinry. strong petitions,
signed by representative citizens of
Fergus county, have been presented
TO the governor with the result that
his sentence was comnuted to ten
years. and credit for good behavior
the present time.
An Industrious Man.
Spangler was Il quiet, Industrious
rancher living on Mcdonald creek, and
was never known to have had any
trouble with anybody. He was frugal
and Industrious, and had accumulated
u ranch and good sized bunch of
cattle. On the day OF the tragedy.
Boland went to Spangler's ranch with
a ing Of whisky, and the result was
"A big drunk, which was one OF the
ialings of Spangler and n dispute
arose about something with Il final
outcome of Spangler taking Il gun and
striking Boland over the head, which
resulted in his death. II was thought
at the time that Spangler had shot
Boland, but an autopsy demonstrated
that he had not been shot, but death
resulted by Spnngler striking him over
the head with a heavy siX-shooter.
One of the first to arrive at the
scene after the affair had been report
ed was Tom Shaw. who lived II short
distance from his place, and when he
arrived on the scene, Spangled was
lying on the bed in drunken stnpor
and to all appearances unconscious to
all that had happened.
Had Good Reputation.
Owing To the splendid reputation
Of Spangler prior to the trouble, as
Il peaceful man and an Industrious and
frugal citizen, and the fact that Bo-
land went to his place with the jug
of whisky. which resulted in the in
toxication Of Spangler and dispute
over some land matters while no one
else was present, was sufficient for To
ask for executive clemency In commu-
tation of his sentence
Spanglcr is well to do, and the ac.
tion of the governor meets with
unanimous approval of the people OF
Fergus county, and especially those
residing in the immediate vicinity
where the tragedy occurred
Spangler at the present time is 81
years of age, and undoubtedly will re-
sumo his residence on Mcdonald creek

age Of rs years, / month and 16 days.
Her father being a Methodist minister
she had no permanent home, living for
short periods at Copley, st. Marys,
Ashland, Mt. Vernon, Loudenville,
Canal Fulton, Richfeld and other
places. She came to Brunswick from
Cleveland in September, 1856. She
was married to VIM. H. Newton, Feb.
IA, 1861 Had she lived until Feb.
IA, they would have been married "a
years. To this union three children
were born-Charles H., Addie c., and
Eliza A.; Eliza died when lacking two
days of one year of age, Addie died
Feb. IA, 1900. Thus the husband,
one son, son-in-law and two grand
sons, with a large number of relatives

1t is during this season that the New
York shops put out many novelties
for Spring and Summer to gage the
feeling Of the American women and
zee what they want and don't want.
Queer little hats appear; for instance,
I recently saw one in sailor shape
With a large crown not more than an
inch in height with a brim about two
inches wide. Around the crown was
! niece Of old-fashioned picot-edged
ribbon, which tied in long bow and
the ends flowed in streamers to the
shoulders. No doubt this may inspire
some ingenious modiste to make this
something really worth wearing, but
for. the hat itself-well, 1 suppose
some woman who is aching for the
latest fads in hats may wear it few
times. Another sailor hat had very
small high crown with wide brim.
This also was trimmed with single
length Of picot-edged ribbon, which
tied with two long loops and ends
which fell to the waistline. OF such
are fads made!

A household remedy of the French
peasantry, consisting of pure vegetable
oil, and said to possess wonderful merit
in the treatment of stomach, liver and
intestinal troubles, has been introduced
in this country by George H. Mayr, who
for twenty years has been one Of the
leading downtown druggists of Chi
cago and who himself was cured by its
use. So quick and effective is its action
that single dose is usually enough to
bring pronounced relief IN the most
stubborn cases, and MANY people who
have tried ii declare they never heard
Of anything to produce such remarkable
results in so short a time It is known
as Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and can

The High Color Vies With The
Comfort OF The Dutch Square

= A decidedly new note in the Spring
styles is the change in the collars of
waists and dresses. The military or
high buttoned-up effects will doubt
less be the most in evidence. The
square or Dutch neck is excellent for
Summer frocks, and also the newer
Callot neck, which is similar, The
dropped shoulder lines of ante-bellum
days is the latest novelty and for day
wear will be filled in with fichus Of
net and yokes Of lace or embroidery.
The square or Dutch neck is shown
in my first illustration, which is de-
veloped in soft tan crepe. This is an
unusually good model for dresses Of
different fabrics, such as rep, pique,
linen or cotton garbardine.
The long close-fitting sleeve with a
small armhole is the favorite at pres
ent. The half sleeve of one color and
the under-sleeve of another is an ex-
tremely effective idea adopted from
the Slavic peasant costume. In black
and white chiffon it is both striking
and attractive.
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1915-02-19

Last year, as a "feeler", crinoline
gowns were shown at the early Spring
openings, together with the close-ft-
ing Directoire gowns, which really had
the greatest influence on the early
Spring and Summer styles. These
fluffy gowns showed dainty little pant
alets below, and, Of course, in its ad-
justment these were dropped off, and
merely he full skirts, daintily ruffled
and bodices sometimes pointed in the
front and with round dropped shoulder
effects were taken. These are prom
inent features of the dresses which
are shown for the Spring and Sum-
mer.
This secson, the decided Dutch and
peasant styles are what the dressmak-
ers are showing to the multitude of
women, and it still remains to be seen
what will be their decision.
The ample costumes of the Slavic
peasant women, who, in some cases,
wear twelve or fifteen stiffenend petit
coats at time, are proving inspira-
tion for many of the up-to-date CO.'S
tunes, also the coats and smocks of
The men, which are equally ample.
They are, besides being full, short.
This note is becoming more pro-
Hounced all the time in the fashionable
woman's costume.
Below the peasants short skirts,
which often reach only to the knees,
are worn high boots. Paul Poiret
tried very hard to introduce high
boots, but failed; now the peasant
styles have launched them, and al
ready Parisians are wearing boots
with their walking costumes-not as
high as the knees, but more than half
way to the knee. In the United States
this idea will probably be modified to
unusually high lace or button shoes.
The full skirts are shown with the
greater fulness at the sides, which is
much more graceful than the barrel
shape, which is given by the hoop. A
few dressmakers, however, to the con-
trary, are showing their dresses over
q pett:coet which is reeded at the
knees.
The uneven hem Is often the result
of this distribution of fulness, and is
endorsed by Dame Fashion. Yoke eff
fects have been introduced this sea-
son with the yoke often in contrasting
color. This yoke is an easy evolution
from the low waistline.
Another idea borrowed from peas
ant costumes is the apron effect, with
openings at either side showing q
Muify petticoat beneath.
Costumes and suits show the nor
NAL and high waistline, but are dis
tinctly different from the oId-time
Empire lines. The real Empire line
Is decidedly ugly with the full skirt,
but the slightly raised waistline ac-
companying the full short skirt is
much more artistic than the long,
wasted blouses and these same full
skirts.
The length Of the suit jacket or coat
must also be considered in relation to
the length Of the skirt Note my sec
Ond Illustration, and the placing Of the
belt ut o short waistline, beneath
which the lower part Of the jacket
shows moderate fulness The skirt

EXPLAINS STORAGE BATTERY.
Willard Expert Tells Of It's Chemical
Action in Use.

Probably the average individual be-
lieves that electricity is something like
fluid that you pelr into the battery
and that it is actually stored up there
until used" said Charles Rubel. the
Willard battery expert, the other day.
AS matter of fact nothing could
be farther from the truth. A storage
battery is a chemical apparatus. and
when an electric current is run through
1t, either from an outside source or
from the generator on the car when
1t is in motion. this current causes GER
tain chemical changes in the electro
lyte and lead oxides, which are called
the active material of the battery.
Later on, when you press the start
er button or turn on the lights, you
close an electric circuit, and immedi
ately the chemical elements of the bat
terry begin to change back to what
they were before. and while that proc
ess Is going on an electric current runs
through the circuit and keeps your
lamps lighted or gives the impulse to
your starting motor.
Clear understanding that battery
is chemical apparatus will help to
correct a great many battery troubles
arising from ignorance or carelessness
because the owner thinks his battery
IS mechanical part of his car and
should last in perfect condition as long
as the car does"
