Stone Road From
Pike to Chippewa

The county commissioners we're in
session again Monday, but the min
utes of the meeting show that there
was nothing Of public interest done.
Tuesday the commissioners made a
tour of inspection of the bridges and
culverts in Montville and Sharon town
ships, to ascertain the needs with that
respect in those townships.
The road commissioners of district
No. 1 met Tuesday. They decided to
make a stone road of the half-mile
strip running from the south pike to
Chippewa Lake station and will sell
the contract on Monday, May 20. F.
W. Woods is the commissioners at
torney. The road commissioners also
awarded contract to Hoard & Wer-
ner to haul four carloads of stone for
this purpose, also three car loads for
the repairing of the Lafayette road.
1t is believed that more stone will be
required for this purpose, but the
above orders were issued as try-out

time Corrected
Now by Wireless

Within the past week experts have
installed a wireless station in the
jewelry store Of Geo. High, through
which he is enabled to receive the ex-
act time twice daily, at noon and at
10 o'clock at night, direct from the
government wireless station at Arling
ton, near Washington. The local ap-
paratus is such that base ball news
and many other bulletins Of interest
are caught UP, but as a code differing
greatly from the common Morse code
is employed in disseminating this
class of news, there is no one in town
competent to decipher it. The areals
through which the electrical waves
are transmitted to the little receiving
box in the store are two in number,
one anchored on the roof over the
High store and the other over the
store Of w. ]. Wall. Three sets of
wires alternate between the two areals
SO that it matters not which one the
waves encounter first. In either case
they find their way to the proper des-
tination. To anyone who should query
as to there being any delay in the
time Of transmission between Airing
ton and Medina, it may be stated that
the time consumed is estimated as be-
ing less than 1-7OOO of a second. For
the further convenience Of the public,
Mr.. High has installed what he terms
a time ball in his window facing the
street. AT the very instant he re-
ceives the time from Arlington, the
pres. ing Of button releases the bal
and it drops about three inches on q
shaft. Thus one may watch for the
dropping Of this ball and adjust his
watch simultaneously.

RADIUM AT SCHOOL

Medina high school has been allowed
a rare privilege Of examining a
sample Of genuine radium, through
the courtesy Of Mr.. A. |. Root. This
has been deeply appreciated BY all
the students, especially those Of the
physics and chemistry classes. The
specimen was secured BY Mr., Root q
number Of years ago. The particle
is 50 infnitescimal that Il can scarcely
be seen BY the naked eve. It is en-
cased in a small magnitying glass and
can then only be observed in d dark

ed itself to the darkened con5ition

ROBBERY CHARGE

The trial of Domonic Cacciola on
the charge Of assault with intent to
rob and robbery was begun in common
pleas court Thursday morning. The

tiss, D. W. Brubaker, Victor Homan,
A. F. Lutz, Glen Benjamin, M. w.
Wright, Ross Forney, Henry Hoefler,

The case developed from testimony
gathered by officers following the
murder Of John Lenzo in Wadsworth
several months ago and the assassin
Of whom has never been identified or
apprehended. The complaining wit
ness in the present case is Sam Arrigo
of Wadsworth, near whose home Lenzo
met his DEATH,
Arrigo and his wife keep board
ing house and several countrymen, in
cluding Lenzo and Louis Demento,
made their home there. According
to witnesses, soon after Demento had
paid Arrigo a board bill amounting to
$7.25, the latter was accosted one
night by Cacciola and told that he
wanted to talk with him later in the
evening. Arrigo says he reported
fearing to do otherwise, and brought
a revolver. He met Cacciola, in COM
pany with Joe Grafuta, Sam Bumi and
one or two others, near the Erie de-
pot, and then they all walked down the
tracks in the direction of Rittman
Arriving at lonely spot Cacciola, il
is alleged, accosted Arrigo with a de.
mand that he return the money tt
Demento which the latter had paiC
him for board. Arrigo protested
whereupon it is said that Cacciola de.
clared that if he did not do so hi
would be killed with his own revolver

GREEK ESCAPES
ARREST FOR RAPE

Solomon Weisman Of Wadsworth
appeared before Prosecuting Attorney
Underwood last Saturday afternoon
with the complaint that his daughter
Katie, is, had been crirninally assault
ed by Christ Theodors, a Greek, also
of Wadsworth. The father further
claims that the Greek committed sim
liar assaults on his daughter on two
previous occasions. 1t was on the
third and last occasion, according to
Weisman, that he and his wife caught
Theodors red-handed. The girl is
under the legal age of consent.
1t has been the custom Of the elder
Weismans to sleep in the upper part
of the house, while the daughter oc-
cupied a bed on the first floor. Ac-
cording to the latter, Theodors on tive
different occasions prior to the last
and with about weekly regularity gain.
ed entrance to the house, also the
apartments Of Katie, and subjected
her to violent mistreatment.
One night last week Mr.. and Mrs
Weisman were awakened by the sounc
ofgroans apparently emanating from
the bedroom of their daughter. Sus-
pecting the cause, the father anC
mother quietly slipped down stairs
one guarding the front door, the other
the rear. Realizing that he had beer
trapped, Theodors rushed out of the
y bedroom, partially disrobed ant
fought his way out of the house
Marshal Tom Lucas was notified ant
later arrested the Greek just as hi
was about to mount an outgoing stree
car. Before Wadsworth's mayor HI
was given a fine Of $25 and costs
This did not satisfy Weisman and th'
latter then placed his case before th'
county prosecutor, who promptly auth
orized that an affidavit be sworn tt
charging Theodors with the crime 0:
rape. This was done before Justic,
Van Deusen and warrant issued fol

Upon his arrival at Wadsworth lat

drawn his money from the bank. Late

LIGHT FRANCHISE
STILL UNGRAN7ED

The question Of granting a new cleo
trio light franchise is still held in abey
ance by the village council. At their
regular meeting Tuesday evening dis
cussion of the question occupied many
hours, even after the question had
been tabled.
I F. 0. Phillips, who asks a renewal
of his present franchise for a period
of 20 years, was on hand, with At
torney Frank Woods, as his "good
man Friday" Attorney Frank Heath
for the Cleveland Southwestern, the
latter who also asks council for !
franchise to furnish light to the town
likewise was present.
Mr.. Phillips sees no reason why the
council should not grant him what he
asks, but the council appears to pos.
sess a different vision. The only ad.
dition which Mr.. Phillips adds to his
primary proposition is that he will
remit the amount Of about $500 which
it was recently discovered the village
owes him by virtue of an extra cir.
cult or two which the village has beer
using, but the knowledge Of which was
but recently brought to light. As
stated at the meeting two weeks age
he offers to omit the charge for meter
rent. This, of course, the council
many exact Of any company.
Mr.. Heath, for the Southwestern
stated that his company desired 9
little more time in which to prepare
its proposition for a franchise. But
he emphasized that when the com
pany's franchise was presented il
would be specific as to what the COM
pany would or would not agree to.
So, as matter of fact, notwith.
standing the long and tedious hours
wasted Tuesday night in the discus
sion of this question, nothing was done
but to table it, and this of course could
have been done in five minutes. But
in the language of the late Artemus
Ward, lit does beat all how 'tempus
fugits'."
Other business before the council
was the examining Of a large number
of bills and the directing of Solicitor
Seymour to prepare a resolution tt
extend the sewer system to the fol.
lowing locations: East North street
from Broadway to East street; East
Friendship from East street west tC
Broadway; North Harmony, from
Friendship north to outlet Of sewer
East Friendship, north to outlet Of
sewer; Smith Road, from South Elm
wood to Baxter street; South Prospect
from Smith Road south to Lafayettt
Road.
Complaint was made that an opel
ditch, go feet long, on East Smitl
Road, was in a very offensive condi
ton, and without proper and suficien
outlet. Chas. Crofoot, whose hom,
is close by, made a proposition to tn,
council to put in tile conduit ant
manhole, providing that the villag,
pay the cost Of material. Health Of
ficer Sedgwick was directed to ascer
tain the names Of those families VIII
are responsible for the filthy condi
ton Of the ditch, with the view Of pre-
vailing upon them to desist iron
consigning al their slops into thi
open channel. Should this fail, it !
probable that council win accept TIL
! proposition Of Mr.. CrOtook
