PYTHIAN
MEMORIAL SERVICES INCLUDE
ADDRESS BY REV. D. A. NOR
RIs ON COMMERCIAL SPIRIT
OF AGE-MUsIcAL PROGRAM.

Timon Lodge No. 45, Knights of
Pythias, held the regular memorial
services Sunday, June %, in the Cas-
tie hall on West Gambler street. The
address was given by Rev. D. A. Nor
ris, who is member of Gambler
lodge.
Rev. Morris took as text the fol-
lowing passage of scripture: Render
unto Caesar the things which are
Caesars, and unto God the things
which are Gods" This text was
very ably expounded by the speaker,
and his address was very interesting
from start to finish.
Rev. Morris stated: "We are living
in an age different from any other.
Today we are in an age of CONNER
cialism, and in this age the tempta-
tion to turn away from things that
are spiritual is greater than at any
other time. However, in this age of
commercialism, we have various or
ganizations that devote their thought
to higher ideals"
The following was the program:
Opening services Conducted by
the officers.
"Some Sweet Day"-K. of P. Quar-
tet, Messrs. Spearman, Crippen, Bur-
ris and Babbs.

SUSPECT
In Bangs Robbery Released Monday
Because of No Conclusive Evil
dence Against Him

On account of no conclusive evil
dence, showing that he was implicat-
ed in the robbery of the Wiley Bell
home at Bangs Thursday night, Will
liam Hayler, who has been detained
in the county Jail on suspicion of hav-
ing some connection with the same,
was released Monday morning by
Sheriff Woolison.
The man admitted that he had serv-
ed a term in a reformatory and ex-
pressed great fears of penitentiary
sentence. He endeavored to establish
an alibi in the fact that he was picked
up by Hup Jenkins about the time
the robbery occurred.
Hayler told the sheriff that he
would go to Chicago, Ill. He was
overjoyed to gain his freedom.

Thrown Under Wheels Limb
Ground To Pulp
All Efforts Are Made To Pre-
serve Right Leg

4, Mangled terribly when a freight
train under which he had fallen back
ed over him at the local Pennsylvania
yards Saturday afternoon at 4:o5
o'clock, M. w. Jack, 80, single, of
Parkersburg, w. Va, was taken to
the Mt. Vernon hospital and his left
leg amputated at the thigh by the
company physician. Every human ef-
fort Is being exerted to preserve the
right leg which is crushed in places
to pulp.
The accident occurred in the pres
ence of a number of employees of the
local shops who hastened to the aid
of the unfortunate man. The wheels
of a heavy box car had passed over
him before his cries were heard by
the engineer. The train was then
stopped, the physician summoned and
Jack removed to the hospital.
The injured man has been rail
roading' for only several months, it
is said, and is not thoroughly schooled
in precautionary measures. He work
ed as a brakeman ON a through
freight train which arrived from Orr
vile the middle of Saturday after
noon.
At the time of the accident, Jack
was on box car which was on the
rear of the train as some switching
was in progress. He was preparing
to hop off the car and turn the switch
and in fact had descended the iron
ladder on the rear of the car when lie
lost his balance.
Topping over backwards, Jack
threw his legs out in such a manner
that they stretched across the track
The train continued backwards and
the limbs were ground beneath the
heavy wheels.
At the hospital, an examination
showed the left leg to be in such a
crushed state that amputation was
absolutely necessary. This operation
was accordingly performed and the
mans leg removed just above the
knee cap.
Many of the bones in the right leg
were broken by the weight of the car
wheels, notably in the foot. Jack
prayed and beseeched the attending
physician that he be spared one leg,
and every known effort is being ex-
erted to comply with the request If
it we're not for this appeal, it is very
probable that at least the right foot
be amputated.
The tissues and muscles of the
right calf were torn into shreds by

Love Affair Embroils Couple in a
Public Fight
PROFANITY ON BOTH SIDES
Story Of a Twenty-Year Liaison Told
Mayor Mitchell Who Lectures
Pair-Woman Fifteen Years
Older Than Her
Lover
PROFANITY ON BOTH SIDES

A large crowd witnessed an alterca
ton between a man and woman on
the public square Saturday evening
in which the talk grew loud and pro-
fame.
Constable Alex Bumpus came onto
the scene just as the man struck at
the woman and hailed both before
Mayor Mitchell where the couple
gave their names as Clinton Hopkins,
who said his residence was in this
city, and Mrs. Sells of Akron.
A most sordid tale of intermittent
love, which had its beginning in this
city about 20 years ago and has been
broken off and then renewed in Mt.
Vernon and other cities ever since,
despite the fact that the woman in
the case is 15 years farther advanced
along the pathway of life than her ir-
regular lover, was told in a piecemeal
fashion to the mayor.
The couple had been living in Ak
ron until about two months ago when
Hopkins returned to his home in this
city. Mrs. Sells said that she came to
Mt. Vernon about two weeks ago after
receiving letter from him in which
he promised to marry her if she would
join him here. After coming here
she said that he showed no indie
tions Of doing SO and Saturday nights
trouble started when she accused him
of associating with particularly no.
torious character in Mt. Vernon.
Mrs. Sells refused to make an affi-
davit against the man and after CIV
ing both pretty stiff lecture, Mayor
Mitchell advised her to return to Ak
ron and warned them that any more
trouble between them, happening
while they were in Mt Vernon, would
place the court in position to keep
them separate and out Of trouble for
time at least.

fractured. There was no circulation
in the right foot all of Saturday af-

showed some evidence Of this-a fact
which the attending physician re-
CARDS as promising.
Jacks temperature and pulse were
both normal Sunday, and he appeared

little to say concerning the accident,
merely telling how it had happened
and again repeating his desire that
the right leg be spared him.

Several Accounts FiIed..Oth-
Gr News From Court House

Juvenile Officer Patrick Purcell is
bound and determined to break up
the premature celebrations of the
Fourth of July which have been in
progress for the past several days and
any offenders who are apprehended
will be treated in no gentle way.
On two occasions Saturday night,
the officer was summoned to Dry
Creek bridge, South Vernon, in COM
pany with police officials, where a
number Of young lads had taken pos
session of the structure and were
keeping pedestrians and horses from
crossing by a constant firing OF crack
ers.
The boys were scattered the first
trip and the officers thought that
this would be the end of things. Just
a little later, however, q second call
came. The boys had returned and
were again shooting firecrackers and
keeping passengers off the bridge.
On seeing the approach of the Off
GERS, the boys took to their heels
again, this time not to return.
Sunday night, Officer Purcell was
called to the north end of the city
where the youths were disturbing the
neighborhood by the firing of explos-
ives. This disturbance was so annoy
i,,rr khak 4
if the boys did not cease their prac-
tees.
The identities of some of the boys
are known to officer Purcell and any
further disturbance of the peace will
result disastrously to them.

were fOund-the Biblical Tirhaka,

later king named Senka -amon- seken.
Only the statue of Espalta was COM

must be another dump in which the
fra gments of these statues had been
thrown, but in Sovast an area the
chance of finding the other dump
without eXcavating the whole seemed
too small for consideration.
This find forces us to plan some
other way of attacking the excavation

the area next to the mountain, think
ing to clear up the rubbish strewn
ground and pile the refuse beside the
back part Of the temple. In the
course of this work we came on the
foundation walls of two smaller
temples and while clearing these, with
10 thought of anything but archaeo-
logical results, we suddenly came on
, the other ancient dump, over 100
meters from the first dump where we
had found the statues. Here was the
. head of the Tirhaka statue, the crown

astonishing freak of chance in my
whole experience as an excavator AS
a result we had ten statues of kings
OF ETHIOPIA of the time of Tirhaka
and later, all broken but five of them
practically complete with portrait
heads in royal Egyptian Workman
snip. L believe that there are good
chances of our finding the remaining
parts of the other statues

ITO shorten the story, the rest Of
the season was spent in clearing the
ground south of the great temple in
preparation for the excavation of the
great temple itself. Here we I'M

them of considerable interest This
