Arthur Bond of high school fame
was the particular star with Beach
and Young running close seconds, the
latter on account Of the splendid in.
reference he made for other runners.
Bond made three touchdowns, two
on intercepted forward passes and
through broken field. Beach made
touchdown, while Tier also carried
the ball over once. Out of five at
tempts, Beach kicked four goals.
Mt Vernon rushed the Newark az
gregation from the start, carrying
the ball to the three-yard line of the
Licking county boys soon after the
kickoff. Newark held, gaining the
ball.
At no time did Newark threaten
MT. Nernons goal. Short forward
passes were used by the visitors in
advancing the ball, but these in a
broken field many times landed in
the arms of Mt. Vernon player.
Mt. Vernon uncovered many trick
plays and used these to great ad-
vantage, the Newark eleven appar.

Pugh and Way distinguished them
selves on Mt Vernon's line, while
Popejoy worked well, although forced
to rest at intervals on account of an
injury to his leg sustained early in
the game.

WENT ABROAD AFTER
LEAVING THE ARMY
Injured While Working In
A Mine-Has Twice
Deserted Wife

Smacking of the sensational yell
low-backed novel, is the life of Ed
ward j. Yeager who, though not yet
of age, has had career of adven-
ture rarely falling to one Of even
more advanced years.
Yeager is now in the county Jail
where ne was placed by Sheriff Wool
ison who spent the past three days of
last week in New York state, secur-
ing extradition papers for Yeagers
return to Ohio where he is wanted
in this county as the result of re-
cent indictment for non-support. He
is also defendant in a divorce action
brought by his young wife, Zella
Yeager.
Sheriff Woolison arrested Yeager
on the fruit farm of Ford Hutson
near Arcadia, Wyoming county, New
York, where he has been employed
for some time past. The young man
has twice deserted his wife, the last
time being on Aug. 8 of this year,
when he took her to carnival in this
city one night, disappeared for few
moments and then never put in an
appearance again until arrested.
He told Sheriff Woolison that, on
leaving Mt. Vernon in August, he
went to Mansfield and later to Cleve.
land, where he was employed by the
Erie railroad. From there he drifted
to Buffalo and thence to Arcadia,
where he has been since.
1t was during the month of March,
1915, that Yeager first left his wife.
She was then in delicate condition.
He Joined the United States army at
that time under the representation
that he was a single man. When it
was found that he was married, he
was promptly discharged from SER
vice and placed in prison for misrep-
resenting his state.
While in the army, he became ac-
quainted with young New Yorker,
who also left the service, and the
two went to New York City, picking
up odd jobs wherever they could be
found.
An opportunity to go abroad came
to the young men while in New York
in the shape of proffered position
on stock boat. They accepted this
and made the trip across the Allan
tic. Yeager spent several weeks in
France and, while there, wrote to his
wife in this city, stating that he
would send her some money when he
returned to the United States.
He returned, but his wife received
no money. Yeager drifted to Pitts
burgh and obtained position work
ing in mines about 80 miles outside
of that city. While engaged in this
occupation, he was injured and was
placed in hospital where he spent
some time. Upon his recovery and
discharge from the hospital, he re-
turned to Mt. Vernon and rejoined
his wife who was always desirous Of
maintaining family peace.
Yeager will be 81 years of age next
August. He is bright and alert, will
ing 10 work and exceedingly capable
in any position which he assumes.
He possesses, however, wander
ing temDerament which gets the hast
of him at times. Asked why he de-
serted his wife on two occasions,
Yeager replies that "They say you
can only see the world when you're
young and I've tried to do it,"
According to Sheriff Woolison, the
boy is not trouble-maker, but is
merely restless and rowing in his dis.
position.

follow through the country
where the best roads are to be
