1t required the strength OF two men
to hold William F. Willer, son of Judge
and Mrs. w. H. Willer, in his bed at
his home on Good Hope street, early
this morning, when, in a delirium that
accompanied q severe sinking spell
from pneumonia, he get up,
dressed and started to leave the house.
In his delirium, he believed that ne
was not at home and he declared that
he was going home.
Mr.. Willer is the biggest and prob
ably the strongest man in the Cape
and the struggles of two men who
were aided by his mother, Mrs. Helena
Willer, in keeping him inside the
house, we're supplemented by contin-
ual arguments with the delirious man,
attempting to restore him to normal
condition.
He failed to recognize the mel
who worked with his as we'll as his
mother At o'clock this morning,
however, the three had succeeded in
keeping him inside the house and he
was cOntented to sit on the side of his
bed not allowing any of the clothing to
be removed.
To have permitted the man to leave
the house, would have been extremely
dangerous to his condition, according
to the physician in attendance.
Mr.. Willer became i'll several days
ago when ne was confined to his horne
at 433G ood Hope street, with a severe
cold and slight touch of the grip.
Last week he was forced to go to bel
and he gradually became worse.
1t was not believed that his illness
would be dangerous, but yesterday, the
doctor announced that one of his lungs
was affected with pneumonia and that
mis- condition was critical. He suffered
from hemorrhages Of the lungs vir-
tually all day long and last night at 6
o'clock, ne went into the firm delirium.
Mrs. Willer was attending her son
alone at the time the first delirious
attack began, and she ran to the tele-
phone to summon aid. Charles Wer-
ner and a companion ran to the Viii
Ter home from Haarig and aided in
holding him in bed. The first attack
lasted for nearly three hours and 1t
was after 9 o'clock that he went 20
sleep.
Arrangements were made for the
two men to watch overnight at the
bedside of the sick man and early this
morning, he was seized with the Sec
ond attack of delirium. He woke ami
the struggle began Immediately To
keep him from getting out side the
house where he would be exposed TO
the cold night air.
Owing to Mr.. Willer's great weight,
the physician declared, it is very diff
fcult to administer the medicines
properly to him, for doses that would
be given to others, would be exceed
ingly dangerous to Mr.. Willer.

Deal For Sale of Fairgrounds
Park Closed-kage
Gets Deed.
NO STRINGS ARE TIED
TO CITY'S OWNERSHIP
Fair Board Will Declare First
Dividend 200 Per Cent at
Once-2nd In July.

A $30,000-melon will be cut next
Monday afternoon by the Board of Di-
rectors ofthe Fair and Park Associa-
ton, it was announced last night aft
er the final steps had been taken in the
purchase of the fairgrounds as city
park.
The deed for the property, signed by
President Charles Blattner and Secre-
tary Herman Bremermann, yesterday
was delivered to Mayor Kage in re-
turn for which, the Mayor tossed
Clyde Vandivort and Mr.. Bremormann
one of the city's saffron colored war
rants good for only $4,000.
That ended the campaign for city
park that began more than two years
ago and was won only after the matter
was carried through court litigation
and finally received the approval of
the voters of the Cape by a majority
of nearly three to one.
The money with which to buy the
park had been lying in the First Nat
ional Bank to the City's credit for
three days and the final closing of the
deal awaited the adjustment of some
financial matters by the Fair Associa-
ton.
A series of $4,000 worth of bonds
had been issued against the park
property which constituted the only
lien upon the park and President Blatt-
ner removed that incumbrance before
closing the deal for the sale of the
land to the City, so that the property
which the City received is clear.
The deed relates briefly the proceed
ings of the Council leading to the issue
of the park bonds. 1t bears a $50
stamp and covers several typewriter
pages.
The announcement of the meeting
If the directors of the Fair Associa-
ion was made last night by Clyde
Vandiyort, one of the heavy stock
holders in the association.
Treasurer John L. Miller a couple of
days ago declared that the first divi-
dand that will be paid on the stocks
probably will amount to 200 per cent
and balance of about $4,000 will be
he'd in the bank to take care of any
expenses that may arise within the
next few months
The final wird-up of the Associa-
tion's affairs will be made about July,
when the second dividend will be paid
md all the stocks cancelled.
President Charles Blattner has been
Ill at his home on the Bloomfield road
with a severe attack of grip and bron-
hits for several days and the final
steps in the park sale were conducted
from his home to great etxent. He
has not been able to come to the Cape
for some time, but it is anticipated
that he will be able to make the trip
to town for the meeting planned.
1t is also understood that Harry L.
Machen, one of the directors of the as
ISOLATION, will return to the Cape from
the South to attend the meeting.

Baptist Council Performs
Ceremony At Brandon
EXAMINATION RIGID
Candidate Thoroughly Tested In Ten
cts And Beliefs OF The Church.
Rev. Dye OF This City
Takes Part

Brandon, Sept. 14-With ceremonies
truly fitting, Rev. George Black was
yesterday ordained to the ministry of
the Baptist church, council of the re.
ligious body having been formally
opened here for that express purpose
The members of the Baptist church
of this place were instrumental in
calling the council and the same con-
vened yesterday afternoon at one
o'clock. To this were invited the pas
tors and deacons of all the twenty
churches comprising the Mt. Vernon
district. In addition, there were pres
ent Rev. Tillotson F. Chambers, state
Baptist secretary, and Rev DR.. G. H.
Stull, pastor of the Newark Baptist
church.
The council organized at l o'clock
by electing Rev. DR.. Stull moderator.
1t then proceeded to examine the can
didate for ordination. A thorough and
rigid inquiry was made as to his Chris
tian experience, as to his call to the
ministry and his views on theology,
particularly the beliefs and tenets of
the Baptist church.
At o'clock in the afternoon, the
council went into private session at
which time there occurred an exhaust
i've discussion of the examination
which resulted in formal approval of
the candidacy of Mr.. Black. A pro-
gram of ordination for the evening
service at o'clock was appointed and
the council adjourned until that time.
Seven pastors and twenty-five lay
men, as well as large congregation,
composed the assemblage at the even
ing or ordination service. This con-
sisted OF the ordination sermon, de,
livered by Rev. Chambers, of the
prayer of ordination and the actual
laying on of hands, in which latter
ceremony seven pastors took part. A
prayer was offered by Rev. DR.. Stull
which was followed by an address by
Rev. DR.. G.. R. Dye, pastor Of the Bap.
tist church of Mt. Vernon.
Rev. Thomas Powell, D. D., deliver
ed an address welcoming Rev. Black
into the ministry, while the additional
church responsibilities descending on
the shoulders of a new pastor were
outlined by Rev. DR.. Stull. The ser.
vices closed with a benediction, of.
fered by Rev. Black.
Rev. Black is a graduate of Mt
college, arrived in Gambler Wednes'
past four years in Denison university
Granville. He will enter a theological
school this fall, probably at Louis
Vile, KY, and while engaged in study
will have temporary charge of some
churches. He will deliver his first
sermon Sunday afternoon at 2 O'Clock
at the Brandon Baptist church, to hear
which everybody Is invited.
A pleasing feature Of the ceremonies
of yesterday was a dinner served by
the ladies of the church in the Macca
bees hall at the evening hour.
