MARRIED WOMAN FLEES
WITH RITTMAN BOARDER

Mrs. Edward Whitman, a married
woman with three children aged about
two, four and six years, eloped FRI
day night with Clyde Conkey, a board
er at the Whitman home. Conkey is
a single man aged about thirty-five
years. His parents live at Lodi. He
has been working in local factory
for about year.
Edward Whitman is working nights
at the Ohio Salt Co. plant. After
Whitman had gone to work Friday
night. Mrs. Whitman put the children
to bed and she and Conkey then at
tended a picture show. Before leav-
ing home she wrote a note to her hus-
band in which she stated she was leav-
ing home and taking what clothing she
needed. She asked that the balance
of her clothing be given to her sister.
The eloping couple is supposed to have
left Rittman on Erie train No. Z, Fri
day evening after they attended the
picture show.
On returning home from work Mr.
Whitman discovered the absence OF hli
wife. Mayor Hanes took an interest

couple, but was unsuccessful. The

The Winslow mail., 1917-12-07

The WinsloW Mail takes this
occasion to say that the sentences
dealt out to bootleggers at this
term of the superior court by
Judge Sapp makes an apology
due him for criticisms offered
last week. Jail sentences were
given in every conviction of from
so days to two years, and if that
work is continued it will not be
long before Navajo county will
be free from the .curse of illicit
Whiskey peddling-a more dam
nable business than cattle steal
ing. Judge Sapp probably means
to do his full duty, but he is
prone to be governed too much
by the sentimentality that faith
erly admonition is an effective
remedy.

That the American Red Cross
Society, maintained by freewill
donations, and the willing hands
of a million patriotic women is
no small factor in this world war
is apparent from one small item
in a late report given out by Mr..
Davidson, the president. Cover
ing a period from May 1st to
Nov. 1st forty-nine base hospital
units and five for the navy have
been recruited, organized and
equipped by the Red Cross. Of
these twelve of the army units
and two of the navy units have
now been mustered into their re-
spective medical corps and are
seeing service. These units can
care for a 500 bed hospital each,
and some of them have been re-
inforced to enable them to take
over larger hospitals. The Red
Cross has also organized As am
bulance companies, with a total
personnel of $3.50, all of which
have been taken into the army
medical corps, some for service
abroad, others for the camps and
cantonments. A general hospit-
al for the use of the navy has
been established at Philadelphia.
Convalescent homes have been
built at Fort Oglethorpe and Fort
Mcpherson, Georgia, and mobile
laboratory cars are to be provid-
ed for use in case of emergencies
at the camp.
