Butted by Mad Bull;
Escapes With Life

To lie on ones back and be butted
by big bull and escape with ones
life seems almost inconceivable. Yet
that is just the experience that came
to the son Of Eugene Whitman Of
Lodi Tuesday. The animal was a
monster Holstein which Whitman in
tended shipping to- Cleveland The
son was leading the bull when it made
for him and he fell. With rush the
beast began to use its horns, but in
stead of their entering the boys body
they went either side of it, lacerating
the sides, though not seriously. AS
the bull was about to finish his vic
tim, the latter grabbed one of the eyes
Of the animal with one hand and
twisted the ring in its nose with the
other. At this the bull. tossed back
it's head, allowing young Whitman to
regain his feet. AS he was about to
tie the bull to telegraph pole it went
for him again, this time running its
horns in the boys pockets and tear
ing his clothes entirely from his body
About this time the elder Whitman
arrived on the scene anu as ne at
tempted to handle the bull it prompt
ly relieved him of what clothing HI
had on.
Henry and George Young, the well
known cow-catchers of Medina, wer'
then summoned and in few minutes
had the animal tethered. 1t nov

Sentinel Man
Eats at School

The Sentinel has a very high regard
for the Medina schools. This feel
ing was greatly enhanced Wednes-
day, when the writer paid a visit to
the schools and upon the invitation of
and in company with w. S. Edmund
was escorted to the various depart
ments, given full explanation Of the
purposes of each department and also
shown specimens of the excellent
work being done by the pupils. We
desired to publish this week an ac-
count Of all that we saw, dealing with
each department. But we saw SO
much of interest in each, we decided
to wait until next week, that we may
have more time in which to consider
the subject. However, there is one
department which we visited that
must not 60 unnoticed this week, and
that is the Domestic Science. In
company with Supt. Edmund, County
Supt. jerks and Mr.. Harry Aylard,
we enjoyed a dinner prepared and
served by members of the Domestic
Science class under the efficient di-
rection Of Miss Ethel Rimes. The
food was delicious, well selected and
served with every attention to detail.
Utmost cleanliness was to be noted
and it is our opinion that the great
benefit which will accrue from the
maintaining Of this department can
not be estimated. The Sentinel will
have more to say about this depart
ment Of Domestic Science in its next
issue.

Vicious Language
Gets Man in Trouble

Mayor Randall had another case
from the west part of town last Fri
day night. John Kuntz, upon COM
plant Of Frank Jakobs, was arrested
for disturbing the peace of his neigh
borhood by generous employment of
"vile, obscene and profane" language.
Kuntz lives at the corner of Vine and
Bronson streets and Jacobs couple
of doors east. The outbreak on Fri
day was the outgrowth of a family
feud existing for some time. Kuntz
claims that the seven-year- old daugh-
ter Of Jacobs made pictures on the
sidewalk, labelling them monkeys, and
directing them to Kuntz. When call
ing to the Jacobs girl to ascertain if
she was the author Of the pictures,
Kuntz, it is said, objected. One word
then led to another when finally Mrs.
Jacobs came out and began to voice
her sentiments in no uncertain man.
ner, whereupon, as he admitted to
Mayor Randall, Kuntz let drive a YER
bal broadside, which comprised, among
many specimens of picturesque pro
family, a mixed lot of invitations tc
Mrs. Kuntz, which, to one with very
sensitive disposition, might easily be
regarded as personal.
Kuntz was given a fine Of 81 ant
costs, all amounting to $3.50, and 9
suspended sentence Of 80 days in tht
workhouse. Both families were ad
monished to cease quarreling and tolt
that any one Of them would get prop
erly trimmed if arrested again.

no The sheriff Of Holmes county ar
rived in Medina last Friday morning

ing money to the amount of $1,000 on
deposit at the Savings Deposit Bank
in the name of Cotton ]. Patton.
= According to the Holmes county
officials the home Of Hattie Ortlauf in
Millersburg was set OH fire Thursday

is said to have had in the house.
When searched, several bank books
were found in Colton's pocket, among
them was one issued by the Medina
bank. The books were on banks in
different parts Of the state and dis
closed accounts aggregating several
thousands Of dollars. A garnishee
was made to prevent Cotton or any
one else from drawing it out pending
the result of his trial for arson. Col
ton is a stranger to the local bank
officials, having made his deposits here
by mail several months ago.

Republican Party
Only an Appetite

The Akron Times in referring to the
position and promises of Gov. Willis,
on the Warnes law, and his firing all
Of the district assessors, among other
things says:
Concerning the basic fact underly-
ing the whole pitiful game, this is but
an outcrop Of the policy Of the Re-
publican party trying to get back in
to power. 1t stands before wealth,
hat in hand, and says: Eve are your
humble servants, gents. If you don't
see what you want, ask for itr'
Watch out for further manifesto
tions Of the new departure.
The Republicans are in a clear ma
jority in the Ohio Legislature. They
have the votes to repeal what they
told the voters Of the state was an
doious law. They would not do it.
And thereupon our good schoolmaster
governor says that if the game is re-
duced to pie eating his henchmen may
as well be the eaters And so he puts
on his apron and reduces himself to
being waiter at the lunch counter.
And he is satisfied with that menial
service. He is kitchen scullion and
no longer leader; he does not pre-
tend to be a leader; he does not seem
to desire to be one. Presiding over
q paftisan soup dispensary Is his uilc-
tion at present.
Under the leadership Of Governor
Willis, the Republican party in Ohio
is not a party; 1T is ONLY AN APP
PETITE.

ol-masters' Club

Of quality well calculated to remind
one Of his "boyhood days down on the
farm" 1t seemed so life-like one
almost fancied it could speak. But
for quite obvious reason it didn't.
Twenty men were seated at the fes-
tai board -schoolmasters, a sprink-
ling Of book agents and one lone and
inconspicious editor, the writer, who
for the second time has enjoyed a
meeting of this notori--we should say
famous organization.
The object of the Schoolmasters'
club is two-fold. First, for the sake
of securing a good square meal; sec
ond, to give dull care the razzle-daz-
zle and promote a closer acquaintance
and friendliness among the school
heads of the county. 1t may be
stated that this worthy and two-fold
object is realized to the fullest degree
at each and every meeting Of the
club.
AT the close of the dinner last Fri
day night President Elliot of Wads-
worht in delightful vein called on var
ious ones to speak and the quality Of
what he received possessed q genuine
literary ring. The range of thought
was wide, running from castor oil to
calculus, shifting tracks anon for the
unloading Of bunch Of Ford tales.

his inability to separate himself from

n ,SEs STILL I'm DEMAND

There will be a demand for horses
upon the farm for all time to come,
perhaps But they are disappearing
in the cities The fact that there are
more horses in this country by actual
count, than there were b'fore the mo-
tor was invented, means nothing, ex-
cept that there are more people to use
horses, and more activities requiring
power. The perfection of the motor
truck and the demand for horses from
abroad, Is bringing about the adoption
Of motors more rapidly than was ever
dreamed of few years ago.

The Panama canal is open to ships
drawing not more than twenty feet
of water, after being closed by slides
for three months. The canal will
undoubtedly soon be closed again for
the same cause. 1t seems inevitable
that the slides continue until the
hills are worn and terraced back to
some distance and in some places
great concrete retaining walls will
have to be built The soil in the big
cuts is particularly hard to control,
especially during the rainy season,
and the American people should not
be surprised at any time to hear Of
new slides. Patience and perseryer-
ance will render the canal safe in
time, but it is evident that great
deal of work must yet be done there.
