.NoN.sUpPoRT CASE HEARD

The case of the State of Ohio VS..
Clyde Harvey for non-support was
heard in Common Pleas Court Mon
day morning. The defense was rep
resented by Attorney F. w. Woods.
Some time ago when Harvey was di-
vorced by his first wife, he was order
ed by the court to pay $40 a month
for the support Of his minor child, a
daughter. This he did for while and
later when the payments were not
forthcoming the former wife made
complaint to the states attorney.
Meanwhile Harvey remarked. Both
wives were in court Monday morning,
also the child by the first marriage
and the two children of the present
wife by her former marriage. While
the grand jury was present to hear
the case, they were discharged and
the case was heard and adjudged by
the court.
Harvey convinced the court that his
failure to make monthly payments for
the support of his child was because
of his inability to secure employment
sufficient to do SO and on account of
physical disability brought about by an
accident. While the court probably
would legally have been justified in
imposing sentence upon Harvey, the
court regarded the futility of such a
course under the circumstances, but
directed that the $40 per month prev
iously ordered remain in effect, begin
ming with the fifteenth of the present
month, upon failure Of which the pen
atty prescribed by law for non-sup-
port will be exacted.

gan, Franklin, Fulton, Hardin, Jack
son, jefferson, Lawrence, Madison, Ma
honing, Meigs, Pike, Sandusky, Shell
by, Scioto, Tuscarawas, Union, Wayne.
While their tenure is only until Sep
tember 3, the liquor commissioners of
Medina county, M. A. Franks of Chat
ham and E. ]. Tiernan of Weymouth,
will hold over to the 9Th, as the law
requires they shall meet the first Mon
day in September to make recommen-
dations from the list of applicants Of
those whose ambition is to dispense
booze.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING

The regular monthly meeting of the
village council was held Tuesday night
but not much business was transacted.
There were only few bills to pass
upon, which was quite unusual.
The street commissioner was direct
ed to purchase material with which to
construct a fence on either side of the
waterway on, Fred Harding's farm
north of town and to do so immediate
ly. This is the farm on. which the
villages sewage empties and because
of which Mr.. Harding has a suit in
court against the village.
The street commissioner was also
directed to clean away the weeds and
rubbish at the foot Of the standpipe
where the village machinery stands
and council has under advisement the
building of a shed in which to keep
the machinery. This question was
referred to the committee on public
grounds, Councilman Reinhardt, La
Croix and Bennett.

TRIPLE STADD|NG
AFFRAY IN LODI


What will doubtless prove a double
murder occurred in Lodi at 10 o'clock
Wednesday night, when an Italian by
the name Of Tremondi became involved
in a fight with Jim Overs, Hungarian,
Jim Newman and an Italian whose
name we were unable to learn, and
stabbed the former two so severely
that physicians say they cannot live.
The other man was cut in the arm,
but not seriously. Tremondi made
his escape and no trace Of his where
abouts has been discovered.
The men, at least some Of them,
were intoxicated and the altercation
took place in front of the Conway store
at Lodi. Overs was stabbed numer-
GUS times about the heart and head.
while Newman received as s.nany deep
cuts in the abdomen, back and sides.
In each case vital regions were in
vaded.
Newman was employed by the Otis
Ice Co., while Overs worked at any
thing he could get to do. Tremondi
worked for the Wheeling & Lake Erie.
Sheriff Gehnlan was called to Lodi
at midnight Wednesday and immedi-
ately telephoned a description of Ire
mondi to the police of neighboring
cities.

FIRE LADD|ES
WON AT HURON

The old saying that "where there's
a will, there's a way" was never more
forcibly exemplifed than by Medina's
fire laddies Wednesday at the annual
meeting Of the Lorain County Volun-
teer Firemen's association, held at
Huron. Chief Wise, as we'll as many
of the local firemen, predicted that our
department would bring back some of
the prize money, and their predictions
proved correct.
Forty-one, including the fremen, left
on a special car for Huron Wednesday
morning and arrived back to Medina at
midnight. The fire companies that
took part in the annual event were
Medina, Lorain, Elyria, Wellington,
Oberlin, Amherst, Vermillion and Hur-
on. There was grand parade which
is reported to have been at least
mile in length. Huron was amply
decorated and the occasion in some
respects surpassed previous meetings,

greater part of the day.
In the reel wagon race of 200 yards,
which included the attaching Of the
hose to a hydrant and placing the noz-
zle in position, Medina tied with Am
herst at 81 seconds, splitting with the
latter first and second money, $17.50
each.
In the ladder race, which was run
of 200 yards and the climb of "a
foot ladder, Lorain won first money by
one-half second, the time being 371s
seconds. Medina won second, $40,
and Amherst third.
In the rooster race, DR.. Wise brought
home SO as the first prize.
An effort will be made to have the
next annual meet in Medina. It is
understood that this can be brought
about if a certain amount of money
can be raised, perhaps about 5000.
The local fire boys are feeling pret-
ty good over the results of Wednesday
and should be encouraged in their eff
fort to secure the next event here.

Pike DISTRICT TRANS
FERRED TO MEDINA

The County School Board has defi-
nitely transferred the Pike District of
Montville Township School District to
the Medina Village School District.
The main obstacle to such transfer
has been the adjustment Of the funds
between these two districts. There
was a joint meeting of the County
Board, the Montville Board, the Me-
Gina Board, the Pike District, County
Superintendent and Prosecuting Attor-
ney last Monday night to consider the
proposition Of an equitable distribu-
ton of said funds. 1t was then and
there agreed to submit the matter to
the Probate Judge, as provided by the
school law, and that all parties abide
by his decision. The County Budget
Commission met in the meantime
and gave Montville township the legal
limit of mills on their school levy.
The parties appeared before Judge
Kennan on Thursday afternoon ard
argued the case. Even with the max
imum levy of 5 mills it was plain
case of someone losing by the trans
fer. The Court decided to give Mont
vile enough to meet all their obliga-
tions for the coming year, which will
leave something like $1,000 to the Me-
dina Village Board. The Medina
Board claims to be the loser.

MIXED EGGS RATTLE HIM

Reuben Hyde, Medina county treas
urer and poultry fancier, can tell the
quality and breed of an egg at sight,
says the Cleveland Press.
zone day his prize flock of Plym-
outh Rocks failed to produce an egg.
His hens always had the best feed and
attention. Their failure to lay
stumped him.
"Mrs. Hyde argued the advisability
Of using wheat for feed, SO Hyde de-
cided to try II.
"Unbeknown to her husband, Mrs.
Hyde, upon advice of neighbors, made
the hens special inducements by putt.
ing eggs into the nests. Hyde was
in deeper dilemma when he saw the
eggs.
'"Wheat may be all right he pom
dered, but Wyandotte eggs from
Plymouth Rocks are beyond me."'

Why OhiO's Not Get
ting More Good Roads

Why is the state of Ohio getting
more good reoads? Echo answers,
"whyw The state highway commission
under Willis started with a we'll organ
lied system left by Jim Marker and
he built roads. The Willis legislature
was in session and had the ten million
dollars surplus left by Cox to work ON,
and to appropriate from for good
roads, if sincere in an effort to have
good roads instead Of graft. The ar
rangement was made for the expendi-
ture of automobile license receipts in
road work, and the increase from this
source for the present administration
lis more than q quarter million dollars.
With Cox governor and Marker high
way commissioner it was planned to
build permanent roads in every county
of the state. But it's different now and
apparently the Willis administration
lis making good on its highway destruc
ton plank. The people are getting ex-
cuses instead Of roads, and some Of
these days they will want to know
where their money went. And under
the loop4hole in the miserably con-
structed Cass law, progressive coun-
ties with large duplicate will in
sist on holding on to their own road
tax and spending it in their own coun-
fines, and under the law the courts it
seems will be bound to uphold them.
The Cass aaw cannot stand such an
attack as was made against the Hite
law by Hamilton county-and that
may explain why Durr of the deal, had
his man Cowan named commissioner
it may make plain why road contracts
have dropped off and it may explain
why the Cass law opens the way for
all sorts Of disputes, makes bond sales
questionable, makes bidders leery and
makes possible the upheld refusal of
any county to pay its quota Of road
taxes to the state. It's deplorable
situation but it exists and just as the
people elected it last fall when they
fell for lot of bunk.

Final Survey of
New R. R. Complete

The Cleveland and Ohio Central
Electric Railway is the name given
to the traction line which is to run
between Wooster and Cleveland A
final survey has been completed. The
road will bisect strip Of territory
Is miles wide, which has no'railroad
or traction facilities at the present
time. The final survey was made by
the department Of civil engineering
Of the Ohio State University. This
work constituted the annual summer
camp for civil engineering students
this summer. Three parties were
placed on the survey. The work was
completed at an estimated cost of
$1,000. Other work undertaken by
the summer camp was the making Of
astopographic survey of parts of the
Ohio State University farm, and in
addition, cemetery in Springfield,
Ohio.
The location chosen for this line
is very nearly ideal. At no place is
there more than a two-degree grade,
and the sharpest curve is but three
degrees. One Of the figures Of this
road will be the using Of gasoline
electric cars. The electricity will be
generated by gasoline engines located
In the car, and viii afford a conven-
lent driving power.
It is now the intention Of the com.
pany to continue the line at a later
date to Columbus and ultimately II
Cincinnati, thus affording q continu-
GUS air line from the southwestern
part Of the state to the lakes. N

Rain Letup May Yet
Insure Bumper Crops

Ohio farms, in the face of the fact
that hundreds of acres in the low
lands have been inundated by the
continuous heavy rains recently, still
may yield bumper crops.
Though enormous damage has al
ready been done to grains, it is declar-
ed that a letup Of the long rainy spell
general throughout all sections of the
state, still may allow farmers to har-
vest fat crops.
The situation, however, is consider
ed serious. Hillside and uplands
crops will have to be the salvation
of many agriculturists. y
The greatest single damage done
has been in the onion fields Of Har-
din county, where acre after acre Of
splendid growing fields are covered
with water and the crops drowned
out. The onion crop in that county
is Of great value and the larger part
Of it this year is total failure.
Rain has left oat fields in such 9

Jack The pepper
at Work Again

"Why, you hateful old thing, get
down from there or I'll shoot" were
words that Jared the soft and sum-
mer stiffness as they were waited from
a rear window of ]. D. Dannley's home
on North Broadway last Sunday night
by Miss Christina Dannley when she
discovered real man ascending a
ladder the top end of which had been
set at a convenient point to insure a
full view Of the movie show that the
intruder evidently believed was about
to begin in a bedroom on the second
floor.
Miss Dannley had planned "slum-
ber party" for a number of her young
lady friends, the personnel of which
was Florence and Evelyn Thatcher,
Helen Clark, Marian Branch, Geral-
dine Canavan, Marcel'a Fisher, Eliza
beth Mcdowell, Helen Andrews and
Clara Fem. The party was about
ready to do the slumber stunt when
Miss Dannley, who chanced to be down
stairs, heard an omenous sound and
peered out of the rear window. At
the sound of Miss Dannley's voice it
is said that the "peeper" turned sew
enteen backward sommersaults and
probably will never stop running.
Nevertheless, Marshall John sGates
was promptly summoned and while he
found no trace of the "horrid creature"
promptly removed the ladder to a
place where it, at least, could be no
party to any more such escapades that
night.
While the girls finally calmed them
selves and huddled between the sheets,
the slumber feature of the party had
been knocked into a cooked hat and
there wasn't blink from any one Of
the ten pairs of eyes in the Dannley
chamber until dawn.

boat at Chippewa Lake, it kicked back
and broke both bones in his right
wrist. The boat is started on the
same principle as an old style auto
mobile, with crank.
A physician from Medina and one
from Wooster were standing within a
hundred feet of Zeigler when the acci-
dent occurred and gave him medical at
tention.
They proved their resourcefulness
by cutting splints with their pocket
knives to bandage the arm.

people Of Medina is the announcement
Of change in management of the

the Otter hotel in that city. #
Mr.. Hull has been desirous Of en-
gaging in the hotel business in Medi-
ma for some time and has repeatedly
made propositions to Mr.. Merillat to
sell to him. The latter, having no de-
sire to relinquish the business, had re-
fused each offer made him until Tues
day, when, it is reported, consider
alton was named which justified him
in leaving the business in which he
has been SO successful.
Inc new proprietor Will be IN charge
Of the hotel beginning Monday morn
ing.
It should be said concerning Mr..
Merillat that he has conducted an AL
hotel at the American. The hotel
was run down when he leased it and
business was at low ebb. The hos
telry at the present time is in excel
lent condition and enjoys large pat
ronage.
The Sentinel regrets that Mr.. and
Mrs. Merillat are to leave and hopes
that the incoming proprietor will main
tain the high standard set by his pre-
decessor. n

to sustain a broken leg last Friday
morning on his farm, four miles south
Of town, by horse falling on him.
The horse is an aged one, and SO de-
crepit that when it falls down, as it
does frequently, assistance is required
for it to regain its feet. Mr.. Fretz
was helping the horse to get up Fri
day morning, and lost his hold when
the animal was nearly erect, allowing
it to fall back on Mr.. Fretz's leg,
breaking the limb a few inches below
the knee.
