The tactics against Americans, how

upon some isolated and unprotected
hamlet, the shooting of few inoffen'

and the hurried get away.
Although the Carranza government
has steadily disclaimed all responsible
ity for these incursions and has placed
the responsibility upon the omnipres-

The court OF appeals OF the fifth dis

opinion, which was written by Judge
Lewis b. HouclI of this city, wherein
the action of Attorney General Turner
in ordering the auditor of Tuscarawas
county not to pay deputy supervisors
of election for their services at the
April primary was absolutely re-
yersed.
An appeal in the case has been taken
by H. Nussdorfer, who is auditor OF
Tuscarawas county to the supreme
court of Ohio. A pispatch from Co
mmhus says:
Whether election board members
and clerks are to be paid for services

Chief of Police Parker has been

reformatory who made his escape
from that institution Saturday.
He gained his freedom by simply
walking away while unobserved by
the guards.
Fent was trusty and Saturday
was put to work on the big front lawn
of the institution. While making his
rounds about 10 o'clock, the guard
noticed that Fent was missing and a
search failed to reveal his where
abouts. An alarm was sounded and
the surrounding country was search

that half of the cost of getting an
