SCENE Of FIERCE
FIGHTING ALWAYS
HISTORIC TOWN
Especial to Times-Recorder)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 20-"Ever
since the beginning of history in wes-
tern Europe, scissors, storm-center of
the most bitter fighting of recent
weeks in the western war theater, has
taken a prominently-chro part
says statement issued by the Ma
tional Geographic society today. Be
fore the Roman tide, directed by julius
Caesar, flowed over Gaul, Scissors,
then metropolis in nation of
twelve cities, was the capital of the
warlike Suessiones, one of the most
powerful people in Gaul. Divitiacus,
one of their kings, had even managed
to extend his authority beyond the
sea, among the Britons."
Scissors is a small town pictures
quely situated among well-forested
hills, on the left bank of the Aisne. 1t
lies IS miles northeast of Paris, and
CONSTITUTES one of the links in the
chain of French second-line defenses.
The region all about scissors is agri-
cultural, and the city's trade is mostly
in grains, vegetables, livestock, leath-
er and forest products. Manufactures
Of the place are not of great import
ance; they consist of leather, foundry
products, flannel and cotton cloth and
farm implements. There are extensive
lumber yards in the city.
THE one-time Importance of Sois-
sons has long been waning. The siege,
bombardment, sack and brand of war
have been repeated often in the expe-
riences of the city, and seem at last to

growth. One of the oldest cities in
France, there are very few cities in
the republic which have seen more
rugged battle service.
1T was known as Nociodunum to
the conquering Romans. Under Ro-
man rule, 1t became a strategic point
in the Empires northern defense 1t
was here that Clovis obtained In 4S6,
his famous victory over the Roman
general, Syagrius, which expelled
Rome from Gaul and brought in the
Germans. Scissors became the capital
of the Frankish kingdom, but soon re-
sumed its position as borderiand be-
tween the Latinized German of the
Frankish kingdom and the Germans OF
beyond the Rhine.
There are number OF famous old
abbeys in scissors, and private build
ings Of centuries ago. The royal
abbey of Notre Dame, now a barrack
was founded in $50 by Clotaire l. Al
one time this abbey was among the
most powerful in France It's abbots
coined money and were lords of more
than 200 villages. One or two meagre
fragments are all that is left from its
ancient splendor.
scissors has taken part in all the
wars of France. 1t stood with the
Gauls against the Romans, until Kine
Galba submitted to Caesar, when the
German onslaught south began, ar
onslaught which, for Scissors, has
lasted with more or less lengthy pc
rlods of respite, for nearly 2,OOC
years"

Upon their return however, they
found the room ransacked Mr.. Fet-
ters called attention TO the noise he
had heard and a search revealed that

MORPHINE
Thefts Lead to ARREST of "Bully
Karch at st. Marys-GOOds
Found ON Him.

William Karch. better known in this
city and surrounding towns as Bully"
dope fiend and race horse gambler, was
arrested at st. Marys last week following
the disappearance of bottle containing
number of morphine tablets from the
office of Dr. Roy Heap in that city.
Karch, it was learned had visited Dr..
Heaps Office while the doctor was maxi
ing a call and when taken into custody
and searched a short time later the off,
GERS found morphine tablets and a nee
die used in administering the dope, on
his person. He was held on theft
charge until last Tuesday when he was
taken to the Auglaize county jail at Wa
pakoneta to be held pending a hearing
before Probate Judge Jacob Koenig, OF
that county. 1t is expected that Karch
will be sent to the state hospital at Tole-
do for treatment for the drug habit.
A couple of weeks ago over thousand
grains OF morphine was stolen from the
consultation room of DR.. j. e. Hattery' s
office In this city. While the doctor had
no clew to the perpetrator of the deed
he felt that Bully was at the bottom of
the theft. Local officers now belive that
Karch stole the morphine from DR.. Hat
tery's office.

SHOCK
From Short -CirCuited Wire, To-
getheT With Weak Heart,
Believed TO Have CausedDeath Of
August Steinbrunner at Cold
water Saturday Night.

August Steinbrunner, aged Al
years. a brother Of County Auditor
j. f. Steinbrunner, of this city, was
electrocuted in the power plant of
the New Idea spreader Works at
Coldwater about midnight last Sat
urday night.
Deceased had been employed at the
Spreader Works for the past ten
years. He was employed in the
moulding department and worked on
the night shift with Henry Luecking.
A mixer in the moulding room was
run by electricity and as the current
seemed very week, Mr.. Steinbrunner
went to the power room to investi-
gate the trouble. AS he arrived
there Mr. Leucking left on his watch
rounds of punching the night clocks.
He was gone only about ten minutes
and upon his return was Mortified to
find Mr.. Steinbrunner's lifeless body
lying on the floor near the generator
He was either electrocuted or died
from heart failure following the re-
ceiving of a shock AS the body
showed no signs of electrocutioin.
DR.. f. II. Brumm, who was called
thought that possibly he had receiv-
ed a slight shock from a short-cir-
cuited wire about the machine, and
as he was a very heavily built man
and had a rather weak heart, the
shock proved too much, causing his
death.
Deceased was born in Recovery
township, and is the oldest son Of
Mr. and Mrs. John Steinbrunner, of
near Victoria. He is survived by his
wife and three children. Besides his
brother here, a sister, Miss Lena
Steinbrunner, employed in the Audi
tors office, and several other broth
ers and sisters survive.
Funeral services were held at the
Catholic church at Coldwater We'd
nesday morning. A number of the
court house officials attended the fu-
neral.

In Local Business Circles Of
Considerable Import
CeIlna Furniture Co. to Occupy
LlnInger Building and RittOfHs
the Formers Quarters.

A business change Of some magnitude
will be made in this city, within the
next month. If plans OF a deal made on
Wednesday. do not go awry.
BY the change the Celina Furniture
Company. one of the rapidly growing and
leading business concerns of this city,
will move into the three-story Leininger
building, at the corner of Main and Fay
ette streets and will occupy the entire
building with the exception of the south
half of the lower floor which will be used
by the Leininger Bros. who viii conduct
a general store.
The Celina Furniture Company are ov-
er crowded in their present quarters and
the move will give them the largest floor
space of any firm in this city, with the
second and third floors accessible by ele-
vator as well as a splendid stairway The
necessity of climbing several flights of
stairs has been serious handicap to
them in their present quarters.
l.. Ritthon & Son, the popular, South
Main street clothing and notion store,
will move into the Hamburger building,
now occupied by the Celina Furniture
Company This firm has been forging to
the front in business circles, and after
they get into their new quarters will put
in a complete and up-to-date lire of
clothing and mems furnishing. Their
present room is too small to accommodate
their growing business and the change
will be a big boost to them, not only Civ
ing them ample room, but putting them
into one of the best business locations in
town. All three of the firms will put on
a big joint removal sale within the next
couple of weeks, and it will pay every
body to await this coming event before
making fall purchases.

In One Single Column, With
Nothing to Designate Party
To which Candidate Belongs, VIII
he Form Of Ticket In Preclnts
Outside Of CeIina.

Much discussion has arisen In the
| last several weeks as 20 how the
names of village and township eandi-
dates for different Offices will appear
upon the coming November ballot
Some have had the understanding
that they will have the usual party
emblems and the names of candi-
dates would appear under the politi-
cal heads, unless the names were
grooped on the nominating petitions
and filed as Independent candidates.
1t seems the intent of the law was
to make the township and village
tickets nonpartisan, and therefore all
names will appear under one column,
all the different candidates for any
respective office being grooped in al
phabetical order, under the title of
the Office they are candidates for, ac-
cording to their surnames.
To obtain a definite decision on
the matter, the case was presented
to Hon j. w. Tannehill, of COlum-
bus, author Of the bill as originally
drafted in the last Constitutional
Convention. Under date of Septem-
ber 3, he wrote as follows:
IVY Dtdl illtu iii IGDAg W
your inquiry there Is nothing in
the law to prevent members of any
party meeting together and select
ing a village or township ticket,
but when so selected the only way
by which such names can secure a
place upon the ballot is by petit
tion. The municipal and township
ballots for all precincts in Mercer
county, outside of Celina, will have
no party emblem on them The
Democratic candidates you refer to
will not go on the ballot as a DEM
ocratic ticket, but the names for
any particular Office will be group
ed like a school board or judicial
ticket They will have to run as
individuals and not as party candi-
dates, so the party caucus held will
do them no good so far as the
ballot is concerned, for there will
be no Democratic ticket on the bal
lot. l trust this will make the
matter clear. Yours very truly,
j. w. TANNEHILL.
Writing further on the subject un-
der date of September 13, Mr.. Tame
hill says:
My Dear Friend confirm
my former statement to you l have
just taken the matter up with the
Secretary of States office. They
assure me that l am correct; that
while a petition may contain an
entire ticket, that does not entitle
it to any Independent position on
the ballot The names will all be
grouped under each Office like
judicial or school board ticket.
The municipal ballot will be only
one column wide. Respectfully,
j. w. TANNEHILL.

Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
SChOtt Instantly Killed
BY Automobile Driven by DIR. Hat
terry While on Way Home
from School Friday.

One of the most deplorable acci'
dents that has occurred in this city
in a number of years took place on
East Livingston street, just opposite
the home of County Auditor Stein
Drummer, at half past eleven last Fri
day morning when Bessie Schott, the
seven-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Schott of Lakevlew addi-
tlon, was run down and instantly
killed by an automobile driven by DR..
]. e. Hattery.
The little tot, accompanied by a
number of other school children, was
on her way home to dinner when the
sad fatality occurred. AS the child
rem were crossing Livingston street,
the machines of Dr. Hattery and
Shell NJ. Fisher approached from the
east. Warning was given by Dr..
Hattery who was slightly ahead of
Mr.. Fisher and the children began to
rush from the street. Tillle SchOtt,
an older sister was one of the first
across and she turned and called to
her sister Little Bessie became
frightened and ran directly in front
of the doctors machine. The doc
tor turned his car into the south
curb in an effort to miss the child,
but to no avail She was struck and
knocked under the machine, the
wheels passing over her head, burst
ing open the skull and scattering her
brains over the street.
Several neighbOTs, besides the
school children witnessed the tragedy
and all feel that Dr. Hattery done all
in his power to avert the accident.
The doctor is not only a careful driv-
er, but he is particularly fond of
children, and he was badly shocked
and depressed by the accident
A sheet was secured from one of
the nefghbors and the tiny mangled
form covered. Undertaken Meister,
who lives nearby, placed the body in
Mr.. Fishers machine and took it to
the Mcdaniel & Meister morgue,
where 1t was prepared for burial
and later taken to the bereaved par
ents home.
The child's teacher, Miss Leona
Winter, and DR.. Hattery's daughter,
Miss Lenora, also a teacher in the
East Side building, were on their way
home to dinner and were crossing
Livingston street only square west
of the scene of the accident, when
the fatality occurred. When inform
ed that her fathers machine had ran
over the child Miss Lenore tainted
and had to be taken home. Miss
Winter also swooned when she learn
ed the child was one of her pupils.
Besides the parents, six other
children survive the deceased. Fun
eral services were held last Sunday
afternoon at the Schott home, with
Rev. Stricken, of the Free Methodist
church in charge. Interment was
made in Petrie cemetery, just west of

WANT RECEIVER NAMED

Charles e. Underwood, through
his attorney, John Kramer, last week
filed suit against Lehmer e. Nedeef
ct al, praying for the appointing of
n receiver for said firm.
Plaintiff AYERS that he secured a
judgment on Sept. IA, In Justice
Rice's court against defendant for
$28210, with interests and costs,
which is unpaid, and on which ac-
counts he asks the appointment of a
receiver.
Lehmer e. Nedeef are the South
Main street fruit dealers, whose
place was destroyed by fire a couple
of weeks ago. They have couple
OF thousand dollars insurance COM
ing their way, which is probably the
real cause of the above action.
