the recent epidemic scare. 1t is fine
membership this brigade has. How
ever, it is not to be expected that all
of these people will boone active, anx-
ious candidates. Some of them have
been nominated by friends who are
anxious that she should go into the con
test and win one Of these gloriouy
trips. Other names have been regis
tered by thecontestants themselves
and thus the list is made up. AS the
days of the contest progress, the list
will of it's own volition divide into ac-
tive and inactive candidates and when
this segregation takes place, the mac
tive names will be dropped from the
list.

ond weekly standing of the candidates

Liverpool Vote
Favors Saloon

On Monday Liverpool voted on three
propositions at special election. The
first project was a $4,000 bond issue
asked for by the board of education to
build an extra room needed to carry
out the Capitalization Of the schools
of the township, which question was
carried at the November election. The
vote on the issuing Of the bonds stood:
yes, 106; no,134.
The project of issuing $45,OOO bonds
for improved roads carried 145 to 115.
The banner vote of the day however,
was rolled up by the vets on the
saloon question, wet votes 172; dry.
90. To one acquainted with Valley
City there is no occasion for surprise.
unless it be upon the school building
To an outsider it might look strange
that community would vote fol-
saloons and not better school facilities
If the former condition must exist we
believe the latter should also have
carried. The board of education will
probably go ahead with the work Of
centralization and as another schoo
bond election will be held March 9th
the people will have chance to re.
verse their last decision.
There is some doubt expressed al
to license commissioner being ap
pointed as Medina county has beer
classed among the dry counties of thu
state. Without a commissioner thu
village of Liverpool would be unable
| to obtain a license, but Medina law
yers say that Liverpool can have I
saloon after thirty days.

Alleged Slayer
On Way Home

Little of Importance has developed
in the Lenzo murder case during the
past week. Nofrio Lo Guibrico, one
of the suspects who has been confined
in the county Jail, was released on q
$500 bail Monday. Friends of Don-
inico Cacciota were here from Wads-
worth but bail was refused by Pros
ecutor Underwood.
Authorities have been working on q
new clew was discovered last FRI
day. A week ago Monday Omroy Par
sons Of Silver Creek, near W',dsworth,
found 38-caliber revolver along the
tracks between his home and Wads-
worth. This was the direction taken By
the alleged slayer. The revolver con-
tanned five empty shells and is be-
lieved to be the weapon used by the
murderer of Lenzo. Though the gun
was found on Monday, authorities
were not notified until last Friday. No
success has been made in identifying
it.
On Monday Sam Arrego, proprietor
Of the boarding house where the trag-
edy occurred called Marshall Lucas and
reported that man had been seen
that morning standing under the back
porch in the identical spot where the
slayer of LenZo had waited. Whether
this was another member of the black
hand endeavoring to intimitate mem
bers Of the household or whether ii
was merely coincidence is matter
of conjecture.
MARITIME, the Italian detective, has
gone toBrooklyn in an effort to locate
an Italian who left Wadsworth about
the time Of the murder. The man
sought is the one who pulled gun on
Chas. Meager several days previous
to the Lenzo tragedy. In a letter re-
ceived Wednesday morning by Pros
ecutor Underwood, Martino reports
little success in finding Patti, the maz
who is believed to have left Wads-
worth Immediately after the shooting.
In case no progress is made in day
or two the prosecutor will recall the
detective.
There is no question that a black
hand gang has been in operation fer
some time and this will probably be
broken up; as regards the slayer Of
ILenzo, much doubt is expressed as tS
his apprehension.
LATER:-Detective Martino called
Prosecutor Underwood by long dis
tance from Pittsburg Thursday morn
ing informing him that he was on his
way here, but that Patti the man whs
is believed to have committed the mur-'
:, der and whom Martino was after, had
departed Wednesday on an outgoing
vessel bound for Italy. MARITIME will
be relieved from the case upon his re-
turn and an additional effort will be
made to convict the members of the
black hand gang,

Mr.. Knosing, however. unimpaired by the
glare of virulent suspicion given him by this little
brother. Mr.. Knosling mistook it for a natural
curiosity concerning one who might possibly be-
come in time a member of the family. He patted
Penrod upon the head. which was for many rea-
