The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1915-02-26

The most peculiar case of myster-
iOus disappearance that Medina coun-
ty has ever known occurred Friday
about noon, when James Rickert un-
tremendously left his home at Wind
fall and, although a search by neigh
bors was instituted within few min
ates from the time Rickert left, no
clue has been discovered as to his
whereabouts.
Previous to his disappearance Rick
ert had been i'll for a couple Of days
and his family state that he had acted
strangely. It is for this reason that
Mrs. Rickcrt, when she saw her hus-
band start in the direction of patch
Of woods Friday without apparent
cause, sought the aid of neighbors to
try and head him off.
A thorough search of the adjoining
woods and the river two miles distant
was made, and friends from all around
have been telephoned to help in the
search, but to no avail. Rickert is
we'll known throughout the county and
On this account, as he has not been
found, it is beco-ling the general be-
lief thst i.e has either drowned him
self and his body will later appear on
the surface Of the river, or else he
hid himself in some Granny of the
woods and suicided by taking poison.
He wore sweater and leather boots.
Following is complete description
Of Rickert when he left his home: He
is IS years old, weight 100 pounds,
hair dark, streaked with gray; smooth
face, wore dark leather cap, light
gray sweater, light gray trousers ana
high leather boots; he may have had
light-colored raincoat with him.
LATER-Wednesday the 8-year-old
son of John Kresco, Slav, living at
Windfall, told his teacher, Meta Thom-
as, that his mother had received a
letter from his Aunt Mary in Akron
stating that James Rickert had come
to her house about midnight last Fri
day night( Of the day he left home,) J
and asked for something to eat, at
the same time requesting her not to
mention the fact to anyone of his
having been there. She was acquainted
with Rickert as he used to sell pro-
duce to her years ago.
The above clue is borne out to some
extent by the testimony of the sex
ton of Spring Grove cemetery, who
while digging grave last Friday af-
ternoon saw a man pass about $3.50
in the afternoon and who frequently
looked back, whose description he de-
clares tallies with that given of Rick
ert. J. T. Norris and Fred Hatch
are authority for the statement that
they saw man answering to Rick
ert's description about 5 o'clock near
the N. o. R. r. crossing on the Lafay-
cite road.
If the man seen by the above named
persons was Rickert, then it seems
almost certain that the statement
that he was seen in Akron is correct,
and that he either took the N. o. di-
rect to Akron, or caught an electric
car for Creston, from whence he got
to Akron over the Erie.

FROM AN IRRiTATED AUTolsT

Sir: What a brilliant piece OF
work! | refer to the new auto num-
Der plates that are handed TO auto
owners who have paid S., then So.
then 81 and then IS cents more during
the last six months for registration,
examination, etc, to say nothing Of
auto taxes. If ever person vas hand
ed a couple OF lemons it was when
those two soft-boiled custards with
numbers on them are handed to You
at the police station.
The enamel has broken off half Of
the plates after but a few days wear.
What they will look like in a couple
of months can be guessed at.
What about patronizing. home in,
dustry? Any one of our local painters
could have turned out job superior
to that which is being handed to the
auto owners, and at less cost to the
city, we'll warrant Apiece of lacquer
ed tin, neatly painted, would have
been much more serviceable, lasted
longer, would not have cost so much
and would not have added over 5000
pounds to the taxable weight Of the

RUMAN1A's WAR STRENGTH.

Rumania' entry into the war would place
on the flank of the TeutOnic Allies a fresh force
of about 100000 men, including reserves, with
the possibility of adding from 10000 to 100000
more in case of necessity. The Rumanian army
is composed of five corps and two Independent
cavalry divisions, numbering altogether about
100000 men; twenty regiments of field artillery
of six batteries each, and five howitzer divis
ions. There are about 10000 men in the re-
serves. The navy of course, is virtually negIi-
gibIe-four small and lightly armored moni.
tors, one small light cruiser and half a dozen
miscellaneous craft which critics say are of
negligible fighting vaIue.'
Rumania has been furnishing much grain to
Austria and Germany and her entry into the
war with the Triple Entente would crt off this
supply

AUsTRo HUNGARY's COALITION GOV
EMINENT.

The plan to form coalition government in
Vienna, with Hungary receiving large share
of the portfolios, is not surprising. Indeed, why
snch a move has not been made long ago is
hard TO guess. Hungary has been source OF
much anxiety to Vienna and to Berlin as we'll.
Though the Hungarian regiments have fought
brayely and Loyalty, there has been in-the coun-
try Itself an indication Of growing unrest at
the course Of the war. ...
A few months ago there was much talk in the
outside world of Hungarian disaffection, 1t
was declared that the regiments had refused
10 entrain for the front, that many of the sol
diers had been shot by officers, that the people
we're on the verge of outbreak. These reports
we're both inaccurate and exaggerated. Some
regiments did, il appears. balk at going to bat
tie, but they were made up mostly of Bohem-
ians The Hungarian soldiers were ready to
fight and TO die. In fact, it was the blind 10y
atty of the Hungarians that led to later trouble.
The government deceived them as to the sue
cess of the Teutonic Allies particularly when
the Russians captured Przemysl. This shook
their faith, and in Budapest disaffection began
to spread. The question Of food became acute.
Prices rose by leaps and bounds. Heavy levies
of men and material were made. Losses in bat
lie among the Hungarian regiments could not
be hidden. The first move that the Dual Mon
archy made-undoubtedly with the assent OF
Berlin--was to replace the foreign minister,
Won Berchtold, with an Hungarian, Baron
Stefan de Burian The next political strategy
is this of a coalition government in which the
Hungarian Opposition- which is as .outspoken
against the government IS course as it dares to
be III time will have conspicuous and

WHO WAS THE BIGGEST THIEF?

An Oklahoma thief entered a bank
outside of banking hours and stole a
bag of nickels. The banker was in
sured against burglary, and being a
thrifty person, gave it out that the
thief had made a big haul and col.
lected insurance accordingly. But the
thief was so shocked by this deception
that he gave the whole thing away.

While it is naturally keen disappointment
to the navy that the ultimate raising of the F4
should have been delayed, it cannot he doubted
that the wisest course has been taken by the
officers in charge-that Of care and caution.
Since the day when it became certain there was
no longer possibility Of life in the sunken sub
marine the paramount object of the salvagers
has been to bring the craft to the surface in
such condition that an examination might de-
termine the cause or causes of the tragic acct
dent. Every move must tend toward this end,
or the loss of the F-4 will have been a naval
tragedy without reparative effect. Further
work on the submarine now must be halted until
special apparatus is devised, for there is immi-
nent danger that the submarine would be so
manled that all evidence to determine the cause
Of her loss would be forever lost.
