MEDINA SPELLERS
lose TO WAYNE

In the sad words Of Josh Billings,
Medina county's crack spoilers report
ed Saturday night: eve have met the
enemy, and we are theirn." After a
strenuous battle lasting the better
part Of the day, Medina's cohorts had
to retreat from every trench and,
bomb proof, leaving the field COM
pletely in the hands of the enemy; not
even one Of the eight minor engage
ments went to the home forces.
However, it must not be thought
that the victory was easily won, as
the troops from Medina fought gal
lantly until the bugle sounded retreat.
On the right and left wings was the
| fighting exceedingly hard and bitter;
one wing being defended by the high
school brigade, the other by the third
and fourth regiments. But in the
center Of the line, where the fifth.
sixth, seventh and eighth regiments
were stationed, the route was complete
in the morning engagement, but the
seventh and eighth partially redeem
ed themselves at the afternoon set-to
| Major General Carl Butdorf, COM
manding the center, was unable to
maintain proper discipline among his
troops, and was forced to give ground
thereby weakening the position of the
forces stationed on the fanks, and be.
fore darkness had set in the defeat wa.
complete.
