PAINTER FALLS 70
FEET, BREAKS LEG

Wednesday morning about $3.50
o'clock, while painting the rear of the
new dwelling being erected on the
south side of West Liberty street be-
tween Main and Elmwood, Harold Bar
Der of Brunswick fell about 20 feet,
when scaffolding upon which he was
seated was knocked down by wagon
running into it, the fall breaking Bar
ber's right leg above the knee.
Arthur Levet was hauling a load Of
dirt to the rear of the building and in
turning the corner from the alley way
accidentally drove too close to the
scaffolding, tearing it down. Barber
fell upon some of the timbers Of the
scaffolding and into concrete cellar
way. He was conveyed to the cleo
trio station, pending the arrival Of
Waite's invalid car, in which he was
taken to German hospital, Cleveland.
Thursday morning he was operated up
on, silver plates being inserted to
connect the shattered bones. That
hislinjuries were not more serious, con-
.sidering the distance and the rough
place where he fell, seems miraculous

SOUTHWESTERN IN

The Southwestern is still having
trouble over right Of way around
Berea. Areport from Cleveland says
that condemnation proceedings, ask
ing insolvency court to fix values for
seventeen parcels Of land needed for a
new interurban right Of way around
the town of Berea, were filed Monday
by the Cleveland, Southwestern &
Columbus Railway company.
There was trouble over a new fran
chise in Berea, the town deciding that
unless the company reduced the fare
rate there would be no franchise. The
company refused to reduce the fare
and decided to lay its tracks around
the town. Now the company claims
It is unable to agree on the price with
those who own land needed for the
new right Of way. Twenty-four per-
sons and corporations are named as
defendants in the suit.

DENIES REPORT THAT
G., S. & c. IS TO Sell

Of late much has been made by
certain newspapers of a ru1nor that
has gained more or less currency that
the C. S. & G. railway had been or was
about to be sold to eastern financiers.
Also that the sale was only one of
several other similar purchases to be
made Of suburban lines running into
Cleveland to form a consolidation with
the Cleveland Electric Illuminating
Co.
While it has been known that the
Southwestern has, been approached
with proposition to sell its line, that
is as far as the matter has gone, ac-
cording to a statement made to the
Sentinel this week by man whom it
has every reason to believe knows
what he is talking about. In other
words the Southwestern is not consld-
ering the sale Of its line.
Additional facts CLEANED bear
out an article that appeared in re-
cent issue Of Finance, reputable fl
nancial journal Of Cleveland, which
published as a report that those who
were trying to buy the Southwestern
are the same parties who recently pur-
chased the Northern Ohio Traction and
Light CO., and organized the North
ern Ohio Electric CO., which took over
the N. o. r. & L. Co. That if the
same interests could buy the South
western, it would be taken over by
one or the other Of the above COM
panies, the two properties then being
physically connected by the proposed
fine from Seville to Wadsworth.
There seems to be but little doubt
but that the possession Of the South
western has been sought by interests
connected with the companies named
above, the value to them Of the cOn-
Meeting link between Seville and Wads
worth being obvious. Also il Is be
lieved to be certain that this ten-mile
connection is to be built and at no rel
mote time, as was stated In the SEN
tinel last week. The Southwestern
realizes the value Of such connection
to it's own interests and should and
probably will put the short line thru
