TOwnships-Last Call for Correc-
tions or Additions To The Clinton
and Dover Lists

Following are additional Fists of
soldiers who lived in Clinton and
Dover townships at the time thew en-
listed in the Union Army in the six
ties. These names will be added to
the lists as they have already been
published in the Tribune These lists

before the date mentioned; send any
information you may have concerning
them to Miss Kathryn B. Weir, Secre-
tary, Wauseon, Ohio, and do it now.
There are still ten townships to be
heard from. Is yours one of them? If
so, are you interested? If you are
don't wait for an invitation or an ap-
pointment, get busy collecting a list
of the soldiers of the sixties who lived
in your township at the time they en-
listed in the service. 1t doesn't make
any difference where they went to
enlist, the question is, were they resi-
dents of Fulton county at the time
they enlisted? We have not been
asked by Mr.. Bayes to advertise him,
but for the benefit of those who really
want to help in this matter, who have
public spirit enough to do all they
can to help along this work and make
possible completed Soldiers Monu-
ment in Fulton county by May 30th
1916, we wish to say that Mr.. P. H.
Bayes, Adj't. of Losure PostNo. 35,
G. A. R., Wauseon, Ohio, is capable
of getting your township list in shape
and his services may be secured by
paying him a reasonable compensa-
ton.

TIE BECKER CASE.

Charles Beckers execution this
morning for instigating the murder OF
Gambler Rosenthal marks the end Of
one of the, hardest fights ever made in
this country for the life Of a man ac-
cused of a capital crime. General be-
lief is that he was guilty and most
people will look upon his elecrocutiou
as "a viudication of the law
And vet there remains the possibility
that he was innocent and that an
other great wrong has been com
mitted in the name of justice. The at
utude Of the condemned man In fight
ing for his life TO the very last and in
going TO his death with a declaration
of innocence upon his lips viii cause
many to doubt who had been prev
iously convinced that the juries which
passed upon him had made no mis-
take.
The Becker case and its elimination
should make many more converts to
the ranks of those who believe that
capital punishment ought 60 be aboI-
ished
