DEMONSTRATION OF
CANNING BY EXPERT

Miss Treva E. Kaufman of the
extension service of the College Of Ag-
riculture of the Stae University was
visitor in Medina county on Thursday
of last week, and made arrangements
to have a representative of the univer-
sity visit the county and give two DEM
onstrations upon the canning of fruits
and vegetables.
The first is to be given at Litch-
field high school building, on the after
noon of Thursday, June 81, at 1 D. M,
and the second at Medina high school
building, Friday, at 2. p. m.
1t is laragely through the auspices
of the girls of the county who entered
the Home Making club that the DEM
onstration was obtained, but everyone
is urged to attend. This is very
opportune season for demonstration
of this kind. If we are going to
keep the pangs Of hunger from our
own people the coming year, and at the
same time help our allies across he
sea, who are literally speaking, fight
ing with one hand and trying to feed
themselves with the other, we must
conserve the last ounce of food pos
sible. Every woman and girl of the
country should feel it as much their
duty to increase their mowlelgeof the
conservation of food, as any citizen
should feel it their duty to back the
government with life and money.
The demonstration will be along
the line of the easiest and most eco
nomical methods of preserving the
fruits and vegetables Of the farm.

SON KILLS FATHER WHO
HAD. THREATENED FAMILY

Fearing that his father would carry
out the threat he had made a few
hours before that he would return soon
and kill his entire family, Frank
Kraft, 18, Of Hinckley, shot his father,
Jos. Kraft, to death Wednesday night,
about 8 o'clock.
Father and son had been planting
potatoes during the afternoon and the
seed had been cut smaller than the
father thought best, which, according
to the son, caused the former to be-
come enraged. The father, it is
claimed, began a TRADE of abuse, not
only to the son, but to his wife, cul-
minating in a declaration as he left
the house, that upon his return he
would kill them all. Frank says that
he rotified a local justice Of the peace
of his fears, also his neighbors.
The father went away in his auto,
and, as he drove into the yard on his
return, Frank, believing, as he says,
that his father purposed carrying out
his threat, leveled his shot gun, a o.
guage Winchester, and shot his father
from behind, before the latter left the
machine. The discharge struck Kraft
on the side of his head. He jumped
from his seat and ran toward the rear
Of his machine, where he met his son,
who fired a second shot at his father.
1t was this shot, according to Coroner
r. A. Brintnall, that caused death, 1t
having severed an artery on the right
side Of the body, a short distance be-
low the arm-pit. Following the sec
ond shot, Kraft continued to run, and
the son shot him once or twice more
in the back, Kraft finally becoming ex-
hausted and dying in the yard Of H,

Will Bellus, a neighbor, whom the
son, had apprised Of his fears, hearing
the shots, armed himself and started
to the Kraft home to defend the fam
lily, thinking that Kraft might have
been making good his threats.

SOUTHWESTERN KILLS \ \
TWO IN AUTO WRECK

| An accident at Chippewa Lake Sum
. day morning, transformed what other
wise would have been a happy outing,
into tragedy, when a southbound
limited car on the Southwestern, due
in Medina at 8:14 and at Chippewa
Lake at 1929, ran into a motor truck,
filed with occupants, instantly killing
two and seriously iniuring several
others. Those killed were Mrs. Mary
Baus and her son, George, 10, Of
Cleveland.
Arthur Barth has cottage at Chip
pewa Lake and had as guests for the
day, Henry Bietz, an employe, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Baus and their son,
George. With MIR. Barth's two child
rem, Florence, 5, and Russell, 15, the
party left the cottage in light truck
used by Barth in his business.
The Cleveland, Columbus & South
western interurban tracks are partly
hidden at the crossing, a short dis
tance from the Barth cottage, by the
sub-station. Russell Barth stood on
the running board of the truck and
said he heard car whistle, but his
father, who was driving, said he failed
to hear the warning.
The limited was sOuthbound. 1t
struck the rear end Of the truck,
shattering it and hurting its occupants
in all DIRECTIONS. Mrs. Baus and
George occupied rear seat and were
instantly killed, the formers face
striking a fence post several feet away
and the body being thrown in all a
distance Of about "a eet
Henry Bietz was thrown forty feet
into field. William G. Baus, hus-
band and father of those killed,
Arthur Barth and Florence Barth were
thrown lesser distances. y
Russell Barth, who stood on the
running board, was knocked clear Of
the wreckage and escaped without
injury.
Mrs. Baus' death was caused by a
fractured skull and internal injuries,
a fractured skull also being the cause
Of her sons death. The father had
four ribs broken and scalp lacerated;
Henry Bietz, three ribs and left arm
broken and eyes lacerated; Arthur
Barth, right ankle sprained and body
bruised; and Florence Barth, body
cut and bruised.
IA number of persons witnessed the
accident and two or three vainly en-
deavored to warn the autoists of the
approaching car. One report was that
the car stalled on the track and that
the driver got out to crank the ma
chine and did not see the limited car
approaching, although young BRrth,
WHO was on the running board OF the
ant0, is said to have seen the car and
cried a warning. Witnesses say the
limited whistled for the crossing.
While the track is somewhat OBJ
scuTed for d short distance either side
sDf the crossing, iit runs straight at
that section and it would seem that
the motorman could have seen the
auto in time to have stopped, !, as is
claimed, the auto had stalled on the
track. K
The car was in charge of John
Crawford, the oldest conductor in
point of service on the road, about ~
years, during which time he has had
but one demerit mark charged against
him.

OF REVISION
HAS PLENTY TO Do

Medina County's Board of Revision
convened last Thursday and from the
avalanche of work they have had to
deal with, they may not be able to fin
ish before next Thursday.
When residents of the county make
their own personal property returns,
instead Of having the returns made by
assessors, as in former years, there
should not be any complaints lodged
with the county board Of complaints.
This IL just the situation now before
the board Of revision of Medina coun-
ty. Not a complaint has thus far
been made concerning personal prop
ertyreturns made since last April.
The new state law by which owners
of property make their own returns,
has worked to the advantage Of the
board Of complaints in this county.
The board has the power to call in
any person, whom the board feels
has not listed his entire person pro-
.perty. All the returns are being gone
over by the board Of review or COM
plants, If a return is found that in
dicates to the board that someone has
not listed his entire personal property,
that person viii be called before the
board to make an explanation.
Thus far only three have been called
before the board To explain the
wide disparity between the returns
Of last year and thcse this year.
The elimination Of hearing com.
plants Of real estate valuations re-
Heyes the board cf much work at this
time.

conlpanyng Coroner Brintnall on the
latter's way from his home in Seville.
Corone, Brintnall ISSUED death
certifcatt to the undertaken, giving
the causeof death as homicide" A
bond of 1000, designated as a "cor-
oner's bod" was issued for the ap-
pearanee Of Frank Kraft, whenever
wanted, aid he was allowed to remain
at home until Thursday.
While Iraft was addicted to the
use Of licaor at times, the son says
that his ffther, SO far as he could no.
tice, had MT been drinking on Wednes-
day. Corner Brintnall is Of the opin
ion that tie man was what is known
in his procession as paranoiac, a
victim Of enc Of the most dangerous
forms of insanity. One who may
manifest no outward sign of mental
effectiveness, but who at any moment
may be planning heinous crime.
Frank Kraft, as well as his mother
and young btother and sister, appear
de to feel keenly the condition of af-
airs, but We're Of one mind as to the
necessity Of what had been done. Kraft
it is said, had often acted brutally to-
ward his family, and within a few
weeks had beaten his wife. He was
a powerfully built man and his family
were in constant fear Of him.
Sheriff Gehman and Deputy Sher-
3iff Pelton spent the greater part Of
Thursday in Hinckley in an effort to
ascertain where Kraft had spent his
time, Wednesday evening before re-
turning home, but found only one
home he had visited, about two miles
east, in quest Of seed potatoes.
h Prosecutor Underwood was assist
ed by Attorney Frank Woods, both
spending the day in Hinckley, and
