THE CRIMES OF
CLARK MULTIPLY
Toledo Man Comes Here To
Recover Harness
THEFTs BEWILDERING
Mansfield Chief OF Police Believes
Man Has Stolen over Fifteen
Horses; Property Gradual
ly Being Located

Acting on a message sent him by
Chief of Police James Feeney of
Mansfield, ]. N. Kinney of Toledo
came to this city Tuesday to recover
some of the loot taken by William
Clark in his horse-stealing escapade
which centered about Mt. Vernon
about two weeks ago. The property
here belonging to Kinney consisted
of full set of harness, which was
left on the horse which Clark traded
to William Simpkins of this city for
another beast.
Mr.. Kinney was notified by Chief
Feeney of Mansfield Monday morning
of the harness left here, and the for
mer went to Mansfield Immediately.
Afterwards Chief Feeny and Kinney
came to Mt Vernon where the har-
ness which belongs to Kinney, was
recovered.
Besides the harness stolen from
Kinney, horse and phaeton were
also taken by someone. This some
one proved to be William Clark or
one whose accomplice he is.
In GAINESVILLE, Clark was quizzed as
to the whereabouts of the stolen
horse and phaeton. After a stubborn
silence, he finally admitted that he
traded the horse in Mansfield for an
other one and the phaeton for a bug
gy at Bloomville. The description Of
the phaeton Tailed to the point with
that owned by Kinney and will prob
ably prove to be that persons prop
erty. AS to the horse, it has not
been definitely located yet A de-
scription offered by the Mansfield
Transfer and Storage company is
slightly different from the description
given out by Kinney of his horse.
However, it is thought that the horse
belonging to Kinney is still in Mans
field.
While discussing the different es.
capades of the horse thief, it was
stated by Chief Feeney that Clark is
mixed up in a number of horse-steal
ing ventures-probably amounting to
the number of fifteen or twenty.
Clark is now being held in Zanes
vile, but as soon as other warrants
are sworn out for his arrest at some
other place, he will be transferred.

Dowds Sues For Money Due
Him On Sand; News Of
Court House

A ruddy smile suffused the face Of
Orange Underwood, indicted recently
for non-support Of minor children,
when he informed Judge Park B.
Blair that he had tuberculosis.
Underwood seemed to regard his
alleged ailment very lightly and, ac-
cording to witnesses, appeared to
take a great deal of pride in it.
His contention was that he could
not be held liable for non-support in
view of the fact that he was victim
of the white plague.
Underwood was sent to physician
who made most careful examination
of him. The physician declared abso-
lutely that there was not a trace of
the dreaded scourge in Underwood
and that he was perfectly sound ply
sically.
This did not dishearten Underwood
who still insisted that he had tubercu-
losis. "Why don't you change your
plea of guilty to that of not guilty."
queried Judge Blair. Underwood
thought it would be good step and
took the action Monday.
Those who know Underwood scoff
at the idea that he is not perfectly
able to work. They claim that the
man is simply lazy and the tubercu-
losis, if there is any, is that of gen
eral lassitude.

Washing the skin, rubbing salves

Eczema. You may temporarily relieve
the constant itching, but if you want

The county commissioners are

public charge. He is rs years Of

Is not such a case as is acceptable
there. There is hospital for incur
ables in Columbus, and If sent there,
there is a fixed cost of SO per week.
The young man was once married
in this city, Oct. 29, 1908, and di-
vorced in the Licking county courts
in July, 1915. He is mechanical en-
gineer, and at one time lived in De-
troit, where he had job. The COM
missioners are estimating the cost of
keeping him in his present quarters

kick on a decision, he usually is salts
fed to take the umpire's verdict with
out question, but, of course, when one
of the home pets makes roar, that's
something else.
Gradually the fellow who pays to
see baseball is beginning to realize
that the umpire cares nothing for the
result of the game or pennant race,
and is out there to call them as he
sees them.

but we aren't out to rob anybody, you

Shoes, Like Their Owners,
Require Periods of Rest

The proper care of shoes will not
only do much to extend the life of the
shoe, but will also improve it's appear
ance, says Charlotte E. Carpenter of
the Colorado Agricultural college.
Keep the heels squared. A run
over heel forces the counter out of
shape and often breaks It.
Avoid getting leather wet, but when
wet and muddy, gently wipe off the
mud instead of letting it dry on and
while the leather is still wet rub in
a little warm oil. The shoe should
dry slowly. Do not place it in hot
oven or on hot radiator, as intense
heat and cold are bad for leather and
especially the changes from one to
the other.
Shoes should be kept clean and we'll
polished, as this prevents dirt getting
into the pores and rotting the leather.

The Gift of Organization.

Before the war we used to hear a
good deal about the value of the par
ticular person called a business man,
in the art of governance. No doubt
there are more sorts of business men
than the one; but during the war the
business man has been given his OPP
portunity; and the result is not I'M
naturally certain sense of disappoint-
ment. There is, in fact, no mystic vir-
tue in business, which may mean any
thing from operating on the stock ex-
change to selling goods across a coun-
ter. The quality chiefly required in
administration is the gift of organiza-
ton, which is frequently possessed
by men who know little Of commerce.
