ELECTION
Officials Entitled To Compensation in
Presidential Primary, Says Tus-
CaraWaS Court

u. ID. Miller, of this city, member
of the Tuscarawas county board of
elections, won his mandamus pro-
ceeding in common pleas court, Mon
day morning, when Judge Mitchell
announced that Miller was entitled
to S14S from County Auditor Nuss-
dorfer for services performed during
the presidential primary last month.
The case was held last week. The
defense filed a demurrer to the man
damus petition, but Judge Mitchell,
Monday, said he had over-ruled the
demurrer.
The case will no doubt be carried
to the appeal court which convenes
here early in June.
Boards of election all over the
state, will no doubt be jubilant as a
result of the ruling of Judge Mitch
ell. Election board members had
visions of having their warrants, filed
with county auditors, ignored
through an order of Attorney Gener-
al Turner.
Miller started his case with a
double purpose. The first was to col
lect money which he thought due him
and the second for test purposes
The defense was represented in court
last week by Prosecuting Attorney
Lindsay and an attorney from the at
torney generals Office. Miler's at
torneys were J. c. Mitchell and H. l.

MOTIVE
For Threat and Disappearance Of Dan
Fisher, Rex Theatre Man, Not
Yet Solved

Dan Fisher, who for some months
past has conducted the Rex moving
picture theatre on South Main street,
mysteriously disappeared sometime
last Tuesday night, leaving note
that his body would be found in the
bottom of the Reservoir.
1t Is not generally believed that he
committed suicide by drowning, but
his wife and other relatives are un-
able to find cause for the mysterious
disappearance and the suicide note
he left.
He left the show house about 8
o'clock, Tuesday evening and told
Harrison Quimby the lad who has
had charge of the ticket office. that
he was going home and that he
should take the money drawer and
its contents to the Fisher home after
they closed up.
The lad did as ordered, but Mr.
Fisher was not there or had not been
there all evening and Mrs. Fisher at
once became alarmed Wednesday
morning he had ont shown up and
while going over the contents of the
money drawer she found the follow
ing note, signed by her husband:
Don't worry. l have paid all the
debts and if you care for my body
you will find it in the bottom of the
reservoir"
The officers were at once consulted
but up to last night no clew had been
obtained 1t was rumored thH ie
had left town on the 1922 Western
Ohio Traction car, but the story has
not been verified.
While officers do not believe that
the young man took his life in the
reservoir, a watch of the waters will
be kept for the next several days,
when the body would come to the
surface, if he had done so. He has
wife and two small children. He is
about 28 years of age, about feet,
inches tall and weighs probably 155
pounds. He has dark brown hair
and eVas and nrOminent red cheeks
