Charged with carrying concealed
weapons, shooting with intent to kill
assault and pointing firearms, II. b
Worley, merchant policeman, was ar.
raigned Wednesday morning at $3.50
o'clock before Squire George s. Har
ter. The affidavits were made by
Bert Claggett. It is said there has
been bad feeling between the two for
some time. Worley waived examina
ton on the charges and was bound
over to common pleas court to await
the action of the grand jury. Three
separate bonds Of 800, s1OO and 5000
were required.
WOrley is alleged to have been car.
rying concealed weapons without hav.
ing bond Of $1,000 deposited in con
formity with the provisions of the
law. The most serious charge, shoot
ing with intent to kill, grew out OF
the fight between Worley and Clag.
gett on the night of August 20, when
the plate glass windows in the ]. s.
Ringwalt store were shattered and a
bullet penetrated one OF the windows
in the Kokosing fats.
The other charge of assault and
pointing firearms was made because
Worley, it is alleged by Claggett,
threatened to shoot him IL he did not
leave town. This is said to have hap
pened last Monday. Claggett main.
tains that it is not safe for him to
walk about the streets and his idea in
preferring the charges is to check
Worley.

DENIAL
That Diphtheria Was Com.
muniCatGd By A Letter

tChillicothe News-Advertiser)
An example of how people and
even physicians jump TO unwarrant-
ed conclusions is demonstrated in
the matter of the case of diphtheria
which prostrated Prof. G. A. Miller,
formerly Of this city, now of Mt. Yer.
non, and which his family and his
physician contended was communi-
Gated to him by a letter received
from a family in this city.
The story goes that last summer
Mr.. Miller wrote to one of his old
Chillicothe students relative to
debt for tuition in the Chillicothe
Business College of which Professor
Miller was former head. A reply
written on August 3, 1915, was re-
ceived the next day. The letter stat.
ed that the writer's children had had
diphtheria. On August 1S, Professor
Miller complained of sore throat.
Two days later the doctor pronounced
his case diphtheria and one of the
worst he had ever treated.
Professor Miller had not been out
of Mt. Vernon except for a drive in
the country only two days before and
there was not single case of diph.
liberia in or near Mt. Vernon. His
doctors are firmly of the opinion that
the diphtheria germs were carried in
the letter.
Regarding the above case, the
health department gave out informa-
tion this morning, to the effect that
the home from which Professor Mil
Ter received the alleged germ-bearing
letter was quarantined November 2,
1914, for a very light case of diph-
liberia, nearly year previous.
According to this statement, the
house in question was under quaran-
tine nine months previous to the
time the letter was written. The de-
partment also claims that the house
was fumigated thoroughly and that
its head not only used fumigation
lamps but scattered liquid formalde-
hyde throughout the house.
1t was stated further that paper
would not hold diphtheria germs for
nine months, but that they might
live for a long period on wooden un-
der garments. Information was also
added that there were other children
in the family from which the letter
was sent and that these children did
not contract the disease. 1t would
seem from these facts that Professor
Miller must have contracted the dis
ease in some other way than from
the letter.

IN Case Of Charles |. Bowers
vs. Sarah c. COe
Bot One Prisoner In County
Jail On Wednesday

L. 8. Bradfield has commenced a
suit in the Knox county court of
common pleas against Abram Poland
In which he seeks to recover the sum
Of $954.60. The plaintiff claims that
on April 1. 1908, the defendant enter
ed into contract with the plaintiff
whereby he was to furnish room
and board the defendant and that he
was to receive 81 per day. The plain
tiff alleges that no payment has been
made by the defendant from January
1, 1915 to June s, 1916, which
amounts to $156. The plaintiff states
that on June 18, 1915, the defendant
fell and broke his hip and since that
time the plaintiff has been compelled
to devote his entire time in taking
care of the defendant and that such
service is worth $40 per week, which
now amounts to s78260. In addition
the plaintiff states that he expended
the sum of $26 for an invalid bed,
etc., for the defendant, making total
of $964.60, which he claims is due him
from the defendant and for which
sum he asks judgment. The attorney
for the plaintiff is Paul M. Ashbaugh.
Directed Verdict
The case of Charles L. Bowers VS..
Sarah c. Coe came to sudden termi-
nation in the court of common pleas

on for two days. After all the testi-
mony was in and it was up to the ar
guments, Judge Blair directed the
jury to return a verdict for the de-
fendant. This was done and court
was adjourned until Wednesday
morning at 9 o'clock.
On Wednesday morning the first
case called was that of Nybarger &
Fairchild VS.. James Harkness. The
case was appealed from the justice
court, wherein the plaintiff secured a
judgment for $47.53 for material and
