FINE TRIBUTE TO
CELINA BOY

Al Reinhard has just resigned his
position at the R. D. Macdonald jew
elry store in this city. AL has been
connected with the store for the past
three and one-half years, first with
A. C. Jacob and later with R. D. Mac
Donald. He came to Wapakoneta
from Celina, his home, and in which
city he learned the jewelry and
matchmaking business. During the
time he has resided in Wapak, near
ly everybody in the city has become
acquainted with him, and all know
him to be straight forward, honest
young man. He is fair and square
with all and should he ever decide to
engage in the retail jewelry business
there is no question but that he will
secure fair portion of the patron
age of jewelry stores wherever he
decides to locate. He had complete
charge of the Macdonald Jewelry
store after it was taken over by Mr..
Macdonald about eight months ago,
and Macdonald states that during
the time Reinhard worked for him he
found him to be the best all-around
man that has ever been in his en-
ploy AL has not made up his mind
as to what his future will be. He
has had several good offers from jew
elrymen outside of Wapakoneta, but
is undecided whether he will leave
this city or not, but whatever he does
or to whatever city he goes, he will
have the best wishes of his many
friends in this city-Wapakoneta

YOUNG LIFE
SNUFFED OUT
Accidental Discharge of Old Shot
Gun Loaded With Barb Wire
Does Fatal Work

The most deplorable accident that
has occurred in the county for sever
al years occurred last Sunday after
noon, when Aegidieus Wenzke, the
II year old son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Hen
ry Wenzke, Of Hopewell township,
accidentally shot himself with a shot
gun, dying Monday morning from the
effects OF the wound.
Young Wenzke, with a couple of
companions, went to a woods near
his home to shoot target. The lad
loaded the gun, an ole breech loader,
with pieces of wire cut from a roll Of
bailing wire, in lieu of shot. In
crossing some bush the gun was acct
dentally discharged, the load cutting
a horrible jagged wound in Wentz-
ke's right side. piercing the upper
part Of the liver and penetrating the
abdomen.
His companions called for help and
the lad was carried home. DR.. Hat
terry was called and attempted to
probe for the wire missiles, but the
ugly wound bled so profusely that
the physicians work was of no avail.
The lad was the brightest of his
class in the parochial schools of this
city, and would have graduated this
spring.
Besides his parents he is survived
by four brothers and two sisters.
Funeral services were held from
the Catholic Church in this city last
Wednesday morning.

HOBO ATTEMPTS
BOLD H0LD-UP
But His Execution Was Poor and
He Now Lanquishes in the
County Bastlle

William Boehm, a hobo, giving his
residence as Indianapolis, Ind, was
arrested by Officers Heistan and
Diener about half past eleven last
Saturday night on an affidavit filed
by George Lehmer. of the firm of
Lehmer G. Needef, the Souh Main st
fruit and candy dealers, charging
him with assault with intent to rob.
Lehmer was alone in the store
about eleven o'clock cleaning up, pre-
Datory to closing when the fellow en-
tered.
The fact that the fellow had been
drinking undoubtedly frustrated his
plans. AS Lehmer turned to go be-
hind the counter the fellow pushed
the door shut swapping the night
latch, and struck at Lehmer. The
blow fell short and before he could
strike again Lehmer had caught his
arm. The fellow broke away and
disappeared before Lehmer could
summon the police. The officers af-
ter search, ran on to the fellow
hiding in the alley back of the Riley
& Nickel Hardware Store. He at
first denied knowledge of the affair,
but was recognized by Lehmer and
after being locked up said he had
been in the store.
He was arraigned before Mayor
Rice Monday afternoon, plead not
guilty, and was bound over to court
in the sum of $500. Unable to fur
nish bond he was sent to Jail.

o'clock. He objected to such haste
in hearing his case, but the prosecu-
tor said he didn't want the matter
