SAD DEATH
Accidental Gun Shot Causes Death of
Stanley Myers Monday Morning -
knights of, Pythias and Modern
WOodmen Of America Attend Fun
eral Service Thursday.

One of the saddest accidents that
has ever shocked the people of Wau-
seon occurred at about $50 Monday
morning when Stanley Myers received
a death wound from a gun while in
the barn at his residence on West Leg
gett street. Stanley had been shooting
at crows and blackbirds that had been
bothering his garden and chickens.
keeping the gun in the barn for that
purpose.
No one was present at the time of
the accident consequently the manner
In which it occurred is entirely a mat
ter of conjecture the charge from the
gun entered the body on the left side
Just below the heart. Stanley walked
from the barn toward the house a dis
tance of about fifty to sixty feet after
having received the wound when he
fell and was discovered by some one
from the house; neighbors were call
ed and carried him back into the barn
where he expired in a very few mo-
ments never regaining Consciousness
AS the proprietor of the Maple
Grove Dairy he was genial, kind and
oblglng at all times and was we'll lik-
ed by his many patrons. He was a
member of the Modern Woodmen OF
America and the KNIGHTS of Pythias
holding the office of Master of Arms
in the latter order at the time of his
death.
Stanley Myers, son of Mr.. and Mrs
L. ]. Myers was born February 18th
1892 and was twenty-five years, three
months and nine davs old at the time
of his decease. He is survived bv his
wife, two children. one two and one
half years old and one about two
months old, his parents, two sisters
and three brothers and large circle
of relatives and friends.
Funeral services attended by the
Modern Woodmen and Knights of Py.
thias. were held in the Methodist
church Thursday afternoon. Rev. o
P. Hoffman pastor of the church off
ciating, the Knights of Pythias buria
service held at the cemetery.
Mr.. Turnbull of Hampton, Virginis
brother of Mrs. Myers was present
at the funeral service.

LIBERTY LOAN"
Why and What?- Security, Nature,
Terms, Special Advantages, How
Obtained Why Advertised OPP
portunity to Express Patriotism.

The $4,000, 100000 bond issue of
this year is named "The Liberty Loan
of 1917" because it is to be loan
from free people to be used in free
ing the world.
1t is the loan of a iberty-loving
people to be devoted to the establish
ment of liberty in Europe and on the
high seas.
1t is the loan of the great democracy
of the New World to redress the
wrongs and support the cause of the
democracy of the Old.
A Liberty Loan Bond is solemn
promise of the United States to pay
at maturity the amount of the bond
to the holder thereof, and to pay in
terest semi-annually each year from
the date of the issuance of the bond
until it is fully and finally paid.
The faith and honor of the United
States, backed by all of the resources
of the Nation and the American peo-
pie. A Liberty Loan Bond is a mort
gage on all the resources and taxing
powers of the Government and all of
the resources of the American peo-
pie.
There are two kinds of Liberty Loan
Bonds. Bearer Bonds are to be issued
in denominations of $50, $100, $500
and $1,000. These Bearer Bonds, which
are made payable to bearer, have in
terest coupons attached which are de-
tached by the holder when the inter.
est installments they represent are
due, and can be cashed at any bank
the same as a United States Treasury
note.
Registered bonds are to be issued
which are registered as to both prin,
cipal and interest, in denominations Of
800, $500, $1,000, $4,000, $10,.
900, $4,000 and 100000; checks fol
the amount of interest due will bt
mailed out semi-annually to the hold
ers of these registered bonds.
Liberty Loan Bonds of the first is
sue of 100000 are to bear datt
of June Is, 1917, and to run for thir
ty years, except that the Government
reserves the right to pay them fifteel
years from date, the bonds will rul
the full thirty years.
These bonds bear interest at 3k pc
cent. per annum, and the interest il
payable seni-annually on the fifteentl
day of December and the fifteenth da,
of June in each year.
One especial advantage no othe
bonds, National, State, municipal, o
corporate. have is that if the Unite
States during the continuance of thi
war shall issue other bonds at high
er rate of interest, the holders of thes
Liberty bonds have the right to eX
change their Liberty bonds for bond
bearing the higher rate of Interest
dollar for dollar.
They are nontaxable. If your city
county and state taxes are thre
mills on the dollar, not unusus
tax, these bonds are equivalent to OF
binary corporate bonds or other in
vestments bearing 613 per cent.
In addition, no Federal tax whic
war conditions may later make neces
sary will affect these bonds. The onl
tax these bonds are subject to is tn

FATAL ACCIDENT
Accidental Fall From Dray Causes
Death of Charles A. Kline Satur-
day May 10Th Funeral Services
Monday At the Home.

An accident that brought shock to
the community occurred last Saturday
morning at about 1880 when Chas. A.
Kline, lifetime resident of Wauseon
received injuries that resulted in his
death.
Mr.. Kline was helping W. ]. Harper
in shipping his well drilling equip
ment from Wauseon to Coldwater,
Michigan, where Mr.. Kline expected
to go to assist in the drilling of wells
at that place; part of the equipment
was on a wagon in transit to the New
York Central Freight Station for
loading on car, Mr.. Kline was on the
load; in crossing tracks near the Ce-
ment Stave Silo factory, for some un-
known reason Mr.. Kline fell from the
wagon and a piece of an iron forge
weighing about ITO pounds fell on
him, striking him on the chest and
causing rupture of internal organs.
| Just how the accident occurred is
not known as there were no eye wit
nesses and Mr.. Kline did not regain
consciousness sufficiently to enable
him to tell how the accident occurred
There were no bones broken and
the only bruises on the body were one
on the hip and cash on the forehead
above one eye. Hemorehages of blood
from the mouth followed the accident
Mr.. Kline was taken to his home and
all that medical skill could do was
done, but without avail; death en-
sued about two hours from the time
of the accident.
Mr.. Kline was born in Clinton town
ship May goth, 1879 and was SO years
of age at the time of his decease. He
leaves his wife who was Miss Hattie
Abbs and two children Mary anc
Chester; also his mother, one brother
and three sisters.
With the exception of five years
his entire life has been passed in OF
near Wauseon.
Funeral services were held at the
home on Monday afternoon conducted
by Rev. J. A. Wharton of the First
Christian church and interment made
in Wauseon cemetery.

4 GRAND DAY
Fulton County Schools Enjoy Annual
May Day Rally at Fair Grounds
Saturday-Fine Weather-Interest-
ing Speakers and a Good Time.

Saturday last was indeed a Rare
May Day; that is part of it was, a
large enough part to insure fine
weather for the Annual Rally of the
Fulton County Schools. All schools of
the county were represented and the
attendance reached high water mark
in numbers. Every item on the pro-
gram was success and those present
gave evidence that they enjoyed every
bit Of it. The parade Of the Boys and
Girls Clubs, the stunts of the Boy
Scouts, the slides and see-saws and
swings. The jolly picnic dinner, the
inspiring addresses by Supt. Pearson
and State Grange Master L. J. Taber,
the "Athletic Contests" and perhaps
best of all, 15he opportunity to get
together; al these things combined
to make the day "grand day" to be
| long remembered and a day whose
recurrence will be looked forward to
with pleasant anticipations. Mr..
| Taber who is a member of the Ohio
Branch, Council of National Defense,
gave stirring address full of inspir-
alton and encoura cement to all who :
are endeavoring to serve the Flag by
production conservation and economy
on the farm and in the home.
State Superintendent F. B. Pearson
gave a fine address along the lines of
the responsibility of the community
for the future of the boys and girls
in school.
There was lots of fun as well as
some strenuous endeavor in the Athlet-
ic Contests ~snd following are the events
and winners. I'VE would like to add to

ATTEMPTED HOLD UP

Last Monday evening as Mr.. George
Essef, proprietor of the South Side
Fruit Store was preparing to close his
place of business shortly after ten
o'clock a we'll dressed stranger enter
ed the store asking for matches: he
was informed by Mr.. Essef that he
had only safety matches on sale and
after looking around the stranger left
the store, re-entering the store in a
few minutes and demanding that Mr.
Essef who was standing by the cash
register pass over all that he had and
hold up his hands. The stranger kept
his hand in his coat pocket as though
he was holding a gun aimed at Mr.. Es-
sef, who told him that he would moi
give him all that he had and that il
was too early in the evening to hole
up his hands, parleying with the
stranger in order to gain time. Mr.
Gordon Turnbull. happened to pas:
along the street about this time; hi:
attention was attracted to what. wa:
going on in the store and he stepped
in whereupon the stranger left rather
hurriedly pursued by Mr.. Essef whC
notified the watchman and search was
made but no trace could be found Of
the stranger.
