SUCCESSFUL B. B. SEASON

The baseball season for the Medina
high school team came to a close with
last Saturdays game. The season was
successful one in various ways. The
team showed good strength and fight
ing ability and the result of good
coaching. Winning two-thirds of the
games played speaks well for the team
and the fact that it was financially
success is evidence that the public ap-
preciated the efforts Of the boys.
By close management, faculty man
ager Godlove was able to end the sea-
son with II nice sum in the treasury,
which has already been partly invested
in sweaters for those members of the
team who won laurels for the school
and did credit to themselves. Eligibil-
|ity to participate in the honor Of re-
ceiving one of these sweaters is
shared in by the following players, and
is determined by number Of games
played in and by faithfulness in prac-
tice: D. Berger, w. Arick, u. Long
acre, H. Stanley, ", Gates, r. Bohley,
b. Pierce, G. Chamberlain, E. Arick,
| G. Weisz, E. Tinstman, T., Ferriman
and ID. Whipple. The sweaters are
Of the V-neck, roll collar style, maroon
lin color with q large letter M. in gray,
3Ethese being the high school colors.

UNITED LODGE
CELEBRATION

The celebration Of the memorial day
of Wadsworth lodges Sunday after
noon was one of the finest spectacles
Of the kind ever witnessed in Wads-.
worth. Fully 1000 men and women
participated in the gigantic parade.
Few professions could have been pret-
tier or more smoothly conducted. The
men were nearly all in uniforms OF
their various orders while the women
presented delightful appearance in
white. The management Of the pro-
cession, in charge Of City Clerk, H. E.
HERS was most pleasant feature.
Everything up to the slightest detail
was conducted with ease and skill.
Dark clouds which kept gathering
all during the early part Of the
afternoon, threatened to spoil the par
ade, but it remained fair until all the
ceremonies were completed when the
rain fell in torrents.
Headed by the Owls band Of Akron
the procession left the square four
abreast. The Odd Fellows came next.
In all, both uniformed and non-uni-
| formed members together with the
Lady Rebekahs who followed them
numbered 200 people. The knights
Iof Pythias followed second numbering
about 1875 marchers together with the
IPythian Sisters. The Uniformed Rank
Of the lodge took the lead, making
an excellent display in their brilliant
white helmets and marching in per.
fleet order. The Maccabees who came
next gave fine exhibition of drill

WAITE CASE
ON IN WOOSTER

Witnesses and prospective jurors
crowded the court corridor at Woos-
ter Monday morning in the criminal
case against Wiley Waite charged
with procuring criminal operation on
Margaret Hogue of Brunswick, this
county. There were about 80 wit
nesses, mostly from Medina county,
which will make the case a very ex-
pensive one for Wayne county.
Miss Hogue, principal witness in the
case, began her testimony shortly
before noon Monday and laid bare the
whole story the prosecution expected
her to tell. The defendants attorneys
are Geo. Smith and Arthur Van Epp
of Medina and A. D. Metz of Wooster.
The state completed it's side Of the
case Tuesday afternoon. Waite, who
was on the witness stand in his behalf
Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday
forenoon, made strong denials of most
Of the evidence offered by the states
witnesses, contradicting the reported
conversations that it is claimed he Lad
r.ade about the dogue girl, involving
her name with his.
He claimed that he had never even
seen DIR. Lehr, who is charged with
having performed the operation which
it is alleged Waite procured. He de
|ried having written letter in the
lpresence Of Mrs. Hogue, mother Of tht
Igirl. He ascribed the talk against lin
Lea gossip that arose from a long dis
Etance telephone nsssage ana detstes
/ reports that he claimed came from
| that conversation.
| That Waite employed detective
to assist him came out when W. =
Godfrey Of the w. E. Godfrey Co.
and general manager Of the r. u
Swan Secret Service agency 0
Cleveland, testified Wednesday, fol
lowing Waite, that he had been EN-
ployed by the defendant for the pur
pose of locating the Hogue girl an
ascertaining if she was willing t
, marry Waite, which the latter claim
, led he was willing to do, and to locat
the physician who performed the crlr
inal operation.
Il DR.. J. w. Lehr, called by the de
Tense, was examined by A. D. Met
: and on his direct examination ne pos
lively denied even having seen Wait
He admitted that some time in Apr
Frank Woods, Mr.. Fritz and Margar'
Hogue did visit his Office and at thi
time Mr.. Woods requested him to
and see Waite and make an effort
q have Waite cease circulating repor
: lin regard to Miss Hogue's characte
/ DR.. Lehr said that he told them the
: that he did not understand why thu
should come to him as he did not ev'
know Miss Hogue or Waite. This w
! the first time he had ever seen her al
/, then did not see her again until t
!" grand jury met when she again W
pointed out to him.
y Considerable interest centered in t
!, testimony Of Prof. Rhode Of the Bru
Y wick schools, Wednesday, when
: stated that he had met and convers
: with both Waite and the girl in t
electric station at Medina one eve
+ ing last fall and that the girl got
the same car that witness did,

!, admits having talked with Rhode,

Elwyn, trif1e bitterly.
why, he told me that once when
Wayne was mad with drink and pes

snapped open and then snapped shut

Come, sir, to work with your down

him a kiss that echoed through the
house, and both pitched into the work
before them as if it was jovial fun.

her staring down into the flour box.
There lay a package. 1t bore the
inscription: For my dear niece, My

Elwyn half guessing and eager as he
opened it, the eyes of both dilated to
their widest.
There were ten Grip new twenty
dollar bills and note. 1t was signed
Uncle Graves and it ran:
'"This will be placed by an emissary
where you will be sure to find it. That
emissary is hired to report to me how
you regard stingy old Uncle Graves

good heart l am able to anticipate
favorable report and have prepared

this is used up, write me and l will

Grand old Uncle Graves" voted
Elwyn gratefully. "He stopped over
a train to carry out this. little plot.
The second train has gone or I'd run
after him to tell him what happiness
he has bestowed upon us.
The cycle of good luck once start

way. At least Elwyn and Myra found
this to be true. Elwyn got work the
next day. The little nest egg left in
the flour box became the sure start
of promising bank account.
