SUDDEN DEATH or
c. A. OFFINEER

Medina people were shocked and
sorrOwed last Sunday morning to
learn Of the sudden death Of G. A.
Ofineer, which occurred about one
o'clock the same morning, at his
home, 522 South Broadway.
Mr.. Offineer, leader OF the Medina
band, directed the concert in the park
Saturday night, and while he had
c0nfided to a few of the band members
that he was not feeling well, the i'm
preston was not gained that he was
at all IN a serious condition. At the
close Of the concert with his family
he started for home, carrying his
youngest child for half the distance,
when he told his wife he was unable
to go gurther without assistance
Members Of his family assisted him
home, and be was able to retire by his
own efforts. DR.. r. G. Strong, the
family's physician, was summoned,
and Mr.. Offineer rallied, and it was
believed he would continue to improve.
Soon after, however, he relapsed, and
expired before medical assistance
could again be given him.
Mr.. Ofineer had suffered from an
organic disturbance, leakage of the
heart for some time, and those close
to him had often heard him express
the belief that his death would be un-
timely from that cause.
The deceased was man of more
than ordinary ability and one whose

10 CENTS TO CITY
BEGINNING SEPT. IS

The Cleveland, Southwestern>& Co.
|lnmbus R. R. Co., under date Of Aug.
Il, publicly announces an increase in
their passenger rates, to take effect
sOn Sept. Is.
The new rate is substantially one
half cent per mile higher with no re-
'duction on round trip purchases.
The present rate from Medina to
Cleveland is So cents, or round trip
for $1.O5. After the proposed in
crease, the fare to the city will be 10
cents straight each way.
The present legal rate of transpor-
taticn in Ohio is 2 cents mile. The
public utilities commission who have
power to alter railroad rates, is res
ponsible for the change to be made by
the G. s., & G., the company having
added six new all-steel cars to help
obtain the boost.
4 What the people living along the
-company's lines will think of its &C.
tion, will require but one guess. Me-
dina will probably defer its opinion
until the company seeks renewal Of
its franchise here, which won't be SO
very long.

FRED BOHLEY'S PITCHING
EycITES CANADIANS

ConscriptiOn and the selective army
would come to a halt and the war TO a
summary end, probably, if the bridge
of the Kaiser's nose could come into
close juxtaposition with one of Fred
Bohley's base ball curves. We gather
this from reports of his recent pitch
ing on the diamonds Of France.
Fred's record was high before he
went abroad with Base Hospital No. A
Lakeside Unit, but he has been do
ing ball stunts over yonder" that are
getting him talked about right.
A feature article in last Sundays
Plain Dealer, written by special
correspondent with the unit, describ-
ed the ball games played between the
Cleveland and Canadian teams July
4, in which Fred pitched for Cleve-
land.
"The outstanding feature of the
day." says the correspondent, twas
Private Fred Bohley's pitching. The
Baldwin Wallace university pitcher,
who comes from Medina, had every
thing speed, control and curves. He
held the Canadians to four scattered
hits.
"Iyhe game with the Canadians was
a pitchers battle until the sixth in
ming when the Clevelanders bonn
barded the Canadian outfeld with
three smashing drives and sent three
men hopping the bags all the way
around, before the inning was over.
Gerlach, Bredt and Bohley were the
hitters who ran the score up"
The article was illustrated with a
fine picture of Fred, and caricatures,
one of which illustrated him in the act
of letting go of a lightning curve.

CHARGES AUTO THEFT

On a warrant sworn to by Claude
Stump and issued by Justice W. P.
Ainsworth, Wednesday, Sheriff Geh-
man arrested Victor DOnley in Akron
Wednesday afternoon, the latter be-
ing charged with having stolen an auto
valued at $4OO, from Stump. Stump
claims that on June 18, Donley sold
him the machine for down payment
of 5000, taking a mortgage for the
remainder, and asserting there was
no other incumbrance on the machine,
which Stump now alleges is untrue.
Donley was arrested at the Portage
hotel and declares he made no misrep-
resentation to Stump and that the
latter was aware Of circumstances at
tending his removal of the auto.

DIDN'T GIVE WARNING

Motors at the Savings Deposit bank
and at Pelton's grocery were seriously
damaged last Friday morning, when
the Medina Electric Co., without warn
ing threw on the 25-cycle power. At
Pelten's the motor was disabled simp-
ly by the burning out of fuses, but at
the bank the motors were practically
ruined, depriving the officials of the
use of their adding and bookkeeping
machines. The bank had a new mo-
tor to accommodate the change Of
power, but it had not been installed,
the lighting company having neglect
ed to inform either the bank or Pei
ton that the power was to be changed.
The Sentinel was obliged to suspend
work eight times on Monday, owing
to a lack Of power.
The question of service has been Ia
ken up with the state utilities COM
mission and if the red tape isn't too
deep a decision may be reached yet
this summer.

.PINKERTON AFTER man
WHO FORGED CHECK

+ k 81 D. f .
James Fordham, who resides a few
miles north Of Medina, discovered on
Tuesday that his name had been forg-
ed on a check at q Lorain bank for
$27O.
Mr.. Fordham has no idea who the
guilty party is, bpt that the bank does
not purpose sustaining the loss with
out an effort to find lput who swindled
them, is evidenced bA the fact that a
Pinkertcn detective isEon the job and
was in Medina Tuesday.
Officials of the Lorair bank say that
the one who presented the check was
accompanied by another man, both of
whom represented themselves to be
farmers.

SANDUSKY SCHOOLS

The Cincinnati Enquirer of Tuesday
announced the election of Supt. w, S.
Edmund to the superintendency Of
schools at Sandusky, at a salary of
SO 900 year. The contract extended
is for three years.
1t is not known if Mr.. Edmund will
accept, as a similar offer to county
superintendency received earlier in the
year was rejected by him. A call at
his home disclosed the fact that Mr..
Edmund is in Columbus and Washing

Sunday, but it is more than likely he
will accept.

PICNIC AND AFTERMATH

Local Hmgarians held their annual
picnic Saturday on the State road, Just
outside the village limits, and the oc-
casion was one of generous hilarity
and well attended. The aftermath was
Sunday night, when a few Magyars,
who had continued the Saturday pic
mic until that time, became SO exy
cessively jubilant, that Sheriff Geh-
man was called to quiet things down.
When he reached the scene of disorder
near the foundry, things had sub
sided somewhat, although "Jim' Bar
rowslxy was given the alternative Of
going to bed or to Jail. Sensiblv he
chose the former. According to
Mayor Randall, Barnowsky has been
"acting up for some time, and the
mayor summoned him to his Office and
gave him final warning Of what would
happen to him If he let loose again.
He promised to be good.

LITTLE INTEREST in
PRIMARY ELECTION

AS was expected, the primary cleo
tiCn on Tuesday was a quiet, but cost
" event, and caused but little discus
sion. While each party had tickets
in the field, they were formulated too
late to draw out many voters, with
the result that the winners received
but small showing. The scattering
vote was large. However, the nom
inees on both tickets are good men,
and if elected would undoubtedly make
acceptable officials.
The pay of election officials has been
raised TO S., which will cost the VII
iage slightly more than 81 for every
vote cast at the primaries.

record broken.
Those attending these races are as
sured Of good time. The next mat
inee will be held next Wednesday.
