ANALIIIU OInUNL
ENDS FATALLY

H. C. Barnes, who was stricken with
paralysis on the afternoon of Sunday,
Oct. 8, while driving with his wife and
some friends on the pike south of
town, died at his home on East Smith
road, Sunday, Oct. 10, aged 66 years,
8 months and 20 days.
Harry Clinton Barnes was born in
Clarksburg, W. Va, Nov. Il, 1848.
He went to Ashtabula in 1867, where
he remained for few years, then re-
moving to Cleveland, where for about
35 years he was actit ely engaged in
business pursuits. For the benefit of
his health he came to Medina in 1908,
purchasing the small farm upon which
he resided until the time of his death.
The deceased was married to Celia
Neil in 1882, who alone survives him.
The funeral was held from the home
on Wednesday Oct. 13, at 1870 p. M,
conducted by Rev. H. S. Fritsch of
the Congregational church. Burial
was made in Woodlawn cemetery,
Cleveland, where members of the
Knights of he Golden Eagle, of which
the deceased was a member, held a
service.

DEATH BEFORE INFIRMARY

A pathetic case came before the com
.missioners this week when they di-
rected Supt. John Ewing to remove to
the infrmary Chas. Urias and his aged
sister, who resided a mile west and a
mile north Of Valley City. Urias and
bis siztsrfad been living precariOasly
for some time, but had managed to gel
along by the aid Of friends, until re-
Gently, when it became advisable fol
the county to take charge of them
Upon reaching the Urias home Supt
Ewing found that the old lady haa
just expired. He communicated will
the commissioners, who instructed hin
to arrange with the Liverpool Town
ship trustees for the burial of Mis-!
Urias in local cemetery. Buria
was made in Grafton cemetery Mean
while Urias, evidently to avoid goint
to the infrmary, slipped away ant
went to Lorain. Supt. Ewing locatet
him Wednesday and went to Lorail
and brought him home with him.

boys, will be accorded an opportunity
this year to win fame and cash by ex
hibiting their product at Corn Show

cember.
7. P. Riddle Of Lima, director of

more than that is involved. It will
prove great honor to win. Besides
the man who captures prize in q
Philadelphia Corn show will have his
product advertised from coast tc

CHILDREN SAFEGUARDED

The result of fire drills at the school
buildings last Friday afternoon under
the direction of Fire Chief Wise should
be source Of qualification to all par
ents who have children attending those
institutions.
It happened that the regular fire
drill had been given in the morning,
Supt. Edmund not knowing that Chief
Wise was about to make his annual re-
quest, as required by law, thus there
were three drills on Friday.
Asked as to whether Medina's chill
dren are safeguarded as to fires, CHIEF
Wise was enthusiastic in his praise o1
conditions in the schools, and:s tn
marked discipline with which the scho
ars responded to alarms. From the
time the alarm was sounded in the
Garfield building until the last pupi
was out of the building was exactly
three minutes; from the old higE
school building, two and one-half min
utes and from the primary building
one and one-half minutes.
The pupils never know when the!
hear the alarm whether it is for drill
or whether it may be a confagration.

The land upon which the well is To-

Death came to Mil1ard F. Bailey,
Recorder of Medina county, last Sat
urday morning, Oct. 8, a few hours
more than week from the time he
was suddenly stricken while awaiting
a train for his home in Lester. While
there were short periods during his
last illness when he, revived and gave
apparent indications Of retu rn in &
strength, his medical advisers, as weA
as his family and those friends who
were in a position to observe, we're
quite aware that he must die. The
condition of his heart made recovery
impossible.

TAXES HIGHER THIS
YEAR Than IN 1914

There will be very few taxpayers
thruout the state of Ohio who will get
away with paying taxes as low as last
year, when they call at the office of
the county treasurer to settle their ac-
counts on the 1915 duplicate, accord
ing to the reports which have been re-
ceived by the state tax commission
from practically every county in the
state. The increases run from 80 to
As per cent, and concern every county
and municipality. In most cases val
uations have also been increased, but
this will not prevent the additional
rate which must be paid by all. The
members of~the state commission are
busy now preparing list of the valua-
tions in the few remaining counties,
together with the rate for the coming
year which will be published in a few
days. This will show that hardly a
county escapes with rate as low as
last year. Increased levies for road
improvement, public buildings and
other items have caused the increase
This is the last appraisement which
will be made under the Warnes law

JOSTLES YORK man
and STEALS PURSE

Upon his arrival in Medina from
Akron over the Northern Ohio Sat-
urday morning, Adelbert Lampson of
York, reported having been robbed Of
his wallet contaiing two ten dollar
bills and a check for $75, presumably
by a stranger who jostled him as he
was making his way through crowd
to the train at Akron.
Lampson stated that the man who
jostled him followed him into the car
and Immediately raised window be-
side the seat where he, the stranger,
was sitting and just behind the seat
occupied by Lampson. The latter says
he thought strange of the window be-
ing raised on such cold morning and
simultaneously thrust his hand in his
pocket to see if his purse was safely
secreted. Lampson's hand met an
empty pocket. One long and linger-
King look behind likewise discovered an
empty seat.
The train was stopped at Fairlawn
while Lampson communicated with a
local bank upon which one of the
checks was drawn.

THAT PETERS OUT

A case was tried Tuesday before,
Probate Judge Kennan that had but a
small china cream pitcher and cheap
rug for basis and only hot air for
an ending. 1t is probable that never
before in the history Of the county
was so fiimsy and insignificant an af-
fair brought before a jury of twelve
men.
Cora Piper, plaintiff, had made a
state, case Of it by accusing Mrs. M. B.
Freeman with the theft Of the pitcher
and rug. She had procured search
warrant and Marshal Gates went
through the Freeman house and it was.
claimed found both the articles sought.
Then for the courts. The Freemans
employed Frank Woods as counsel
and Prosecutor Underwood began a
systematic preparation of the case of
larceny. When court opened one
would have almost, believed that a
frst-degree murder case was about to
begin. There were witnesses galore
SO many, in fact, that when dismissed
from the room about the only ones
| left were court officials and Ford Can
non. The whole day was spent in ex-
aiming the witnesses and at last both
sides rested their case.
| Now comes the great finale Of this
epoch-making legal episode. Attorney
Woods had discovered that no value
had been proven of the alleged stolen
/ articles, as is specifically required by
law, and thus the court had no alter
native but to take the case from the
jury and dismiss defendant. It had
been claimed that the articles were
worth about $1.50, but the fact had
not been proved.
With all the witness fees and other
costs which must have accrued in this
case it is probable that no less thar
