WAITE LOSES IN
APPEAL CASE

The court of appeals, in it's decis-
ion announced Friday morning at
Wooster, affirmed the Judgment of
the common pleas court in the case
of the State of Ohio VS.. Wiley Waite.
Unless ,Waite's attorneys can figure
out some stay of execution, he will
probably be serving pententiary SEN
tence soon.
Waite was indicted at the April
term by the grand jury for being in
strumental in having criminal oper-
alton performed on Margaret Hogue
of Brunswick. When he was tried
in common pleas court at Wooster he
was found guilty.
This decision was appealed by his
attorneys who contended that the op-
GRAFTON was performed in Wayne coun-
ty, but that no crime was committed
until it was fully consummated. They
claimed that the real crime did not
occur in Wayne county but in Medina
county, that Waite should have been
tried in Medina and not in Wayne
county.
The statutes are not as clear as
they might have been in prosecuting
case of this nature, and the case
was governed by what attorneys call
"the common law"
Immediately after the court of ap-
peals had announced that the common
pleas court judgment was upheld, at
toneys for Waite gave notice that
they would prosecute the case on ap-
peal in the state supreme court.
Judge Shields stated that it would
be several days before the courts
written opinion would be placed on
file, and that until that time the PEN
itentiary sentence against Waite would
not be put into execution. In the
meantime his attorneys could decide
on what course to pursue. Unless they
can secure an appeal, the penitentialy Y
awaits Waite.
DR.. ]. w. Lehr of Wooster, who is
charged with performing The Grimm
al operation for which Waite was
found guilty Of abetting, is scheduled
to come up for trial in the common
pleas court this week.

LOCAL GAS COMPANY
STRIKES Big vein

Officials Of the Medina Gas & FueI
Co. are feeling pretty good over the
result of one of the gas wells they
have been sinking on the Ernest Wal.
lace farm on the branch road west OF
town. Wednesday night the drillers
entered vein which Immediately de-
veloped on open flow from the 8-inch
pipe Of over 100000 cubic feet per
"a hours. Field Superintendent Hull
of Ashland and Local Representative
Grant McNeal gagged the well Thurs
day afternoon.
Early in the summer we'll was
sunk near the present location to a
depth of 1900 feet, when the tools
were lost in the we'll and it was found
impossible to recover them. Drilling
on the present we'll has been going on
for nearly four months and a depth
of 1910 feet had been reached when
the big gas vein was found.
1t will be impossible to cap the well
until the inner 9-inch pipe has been
sunk, which it is believed can be done
today. Until then, to guard against
the accidental ignition of the immense
flow, an extra long line of pipe has
been attached to carry the escaping
gas nearly to the top of the derrick.

Russian Pole, on the farm Of w. H.

he fell from a hay-mow and fractured
his skull. ~
The circumstances attending the ac-
cident are not definitely known, aS no
one Witnessed it. Loene was in the
NOW after some oats and il is sup
posed he slipped, falling a distance Of
about fifteen feet. He was rendered
unconscious by the fall, but later was
able to leave the barn for the house.
His condition grew steadily worse until
o'clock Wednesday morning, when
he died.
Earl Kinch, who operates the farm,
had employed Loene for about three
months, but knew little of him. The
latter had stated that he had two
brothers now fighting in the Russian
army, sister in New York, one in
Detroit and still another in Cleveland.
The latter sister Loene had frequent
ly visited, but the addresses Of none Of
the relatives could be found.
The body was removed to the UNDER
taking rooms Of Jay Sargent at Medi-
ma and was viewed by Coroner Brint-
nall Thursday noon, who announced
the cause of death as cerebral hem
orrhage.
Mr.. Sargent will go to Cleveland to-
day in an effort to ascertain the
whereabouts Of the sister.
The only articles found in the cloth
ing Of the unfortunate man were a
pocket knife and two wallets, one
containing a nickel and a dime and the
other a watch chain. There was also
sheet Of paper carefully folded upon
which was an inscription in the Polish
language, but which it was impossible
to find any one in Medina who could
tranSlate it.

Of Office Monday and Immediately went
in again. That is, the tenure Of
their Office to which they we're elected
two years ago expired on Monday and
as they were reelected last fall, why,
all they had to do Monday was to just
remain in the same old chairs, as the
chair-giving custom to outgoing Of
ficials doesn't obtain with officials who
do not leave The building as well as
the Office. The new board began busi
ness BY selecting Commissioner Tows-

MEDINA ON WAY OF
new OHIO ROAD

NAOONA AOSsQ CAlNAANhsAeADOo civ PAetllIDE
"a most ambitious and laudable project
to improve Main Market Road No. X
for the purpose Of linking the three
most popu'ous cities of Ohio-Cleve-
land, Columbus and Cincinnati, by the
shortest route.
The lead in the project is being
taken by the Ohio State Automobile
association and the Ohio Good Roads
fedetation. Cooperating with them
will be numerous commercial and civic
organizations all along the way.
Starting from Cleveland the high
way takes the southwestern course
which is continued throughout, touch
ing Medina, through the rich agricul-
tural district Of Wayne county through
Wooster.
From Wooster to Mt. Vernon the
Character of the country changes
Through Ashland, Holmes and Knox
counties there are natural views un-
surpassed in the state.
Leaving Mt. Vernon there are al
most level roads to Columbus, and
from the. capital southwest to Will
mington the highway travels the gar
den spot of Ohio, through the vast
Pickaway and Fayette plains.
From Washington C. H. to Will
mington the road continues straight
to Cincinnati, touching Morrow and
Foster and reaching Cincinnati over
the eastern hills.
The direct route, which is several
score of miles shorter than the road
principally travelled by automobiles
who go from Cleveland to Cincinnati
is not now generally used because of
stretches of unimproved road. The
route will open line of travel with
great possibilities.
The preliminary steps for the great
project were taken last week, when q
joint committee was named to confer
on details and to give assistance to
counties who intend to submit spe-
cial tax levies or bond issues at the
fall elections.
It has been arranged to "log" the
road this week. BY this is meant to
traverse it from Cleveland to Cincin-
natl in an automobile and get notes
on The exact physical condition af
every mile.
At points along the route confer
ences will be held with automobile
clubs, chambers of commerce and
road improvement associations, rela-
tive to funds available for the roads
improvement.
The cooperation of the state high
way department is assured even
though the state may not be able to
give the project the money the hackers
might wish.

CRISIS REACHED IN
new R. R. Line

A crisis is at hand in the history Of
the Cleveland & Central Ohio Electric
railway for which right-of-way has
been solicited for some time, and fol
which much preliminary work has beer
done.
One hundred and fifty persons at
tended a meeting at Sharon Center
last week Thursday evening.
AT that meeting it was forcibly rep
resented that unless the people along
the proposed line provide for the right
of-way soon, and do what has been
expected Of them, the project will
have to be dropped, as the men who
have been devoting their time and
money to the Improvement cannot con-
tinue longer without action.
Sharon Center and Hinckley town
ship have done their part in securing
all Of the right-of-way, Sharon Center
even going farther by providing an
additional sum of 81 900 in the bank
to meet future expenses.
The total cost of the right-of-way
from Wooster to Cleveland will be
$4,000 and a large proportion of the
amount remains to be provided.
The city Of Wooster through its
Board Of Trade agreed to- furnish
$4,000 after the road is built, and
the Board instructed the railway com
mittee to collect $500 to be adj
vanced for the right-of-way, this sum
to be credited on the $1,000 payment
after the road is completed. Nine
hundred dollars of this has been paid
in Of $1O5O that has been subscribed
leaving 5000 Of the $1,50O to be paid
and $3.50 to be subscribed.
Unless the people along, the route
come forward with the right-of-way
the men pushing it will quit and the
line will not be built.
Another meeting was arranged fol
at Rittman Thursday night of this
week at $3.50 to straighten out matters
there. Some trouble over the right
of-way has been experienced there in
getting through the town. At Wads-
worth, where there was some difficulty
also, matters are getting along nicely
