CAUSE Of DEATH
NOT DETERMINED
AUTOPSY REVEALS THAT OSCAR
ANDERSON WAS IN POOR
HEALTH

The body of Oscar Anderson was
buried this afternoon in the Cold
ED cemetery following impressive
services at Dunn's undertaking par
lors, at which Rev. Ira E. Price of
the Methodist church officiated.
The funeral was largely attended
by friends of the deceased. The
casket was surrounded by many
beautiful floral offerings.
The ~pallbearers were Axel Olson,
Nils T~hylander, Elmer Johnson,
Hjalmar Johnson, Henry Roseneren
and John Dahl.
The jury in the coroner's inquest,
held yesterday afternoon before
Justice of the Peace French of
Columbia, brought in a verdict that
Anderson's death was caused by a
blocking of the aorta by a fatty
substance. the indirect cause being
unknown to the jury. 1t appears
that an electric shock quickened
the heart action, causing death"
The jury was composed of George
Bates, John Hagel. L. Cole, A. Horst,
Charles Thompson and G.. j. Stune-
burner.
DR.. Turner tested that an autopsy
had revealed that Anderson had a
heart of abnormal size, it being
about 7x5x4 inches. This affliction
is commonly known as an athletic
heart" No blemishes or burns of
any kind were found on the body.
One of the kidneys showed that
Anderson was afflicted with Bright's
disease and the doctor tested that
his general condition had been such
that any slight shock or excitement
would have caused death.
The direct cause of death was
testified to as having been due to a
large piece of fat, known as a fatty
thrombi," afloat in the circulation,
which a shock forced into one of the
valves of the heart, clogging the
circulation. Whether Anderson
touched an electric wire, at first
thought to have been the cause of
death, remains undetermined, as no
one was able to testify that he had.
Dir. Turner testified hat it was
probable he had received a slight
shock, which, considering his con-
dition, was sufficient to cause death.

PROSPECTORS RUSH
TO PEAVINE DISTRICT

A reported strike somewhere in
the Peavine mining district caused
a small rush from Reno this morn
ing but nothing definite on the ma
ture of the strike could be secured.
There are several properties work
ing in the district and according
possible that a big find of copper
has been made.
Some of the properties have been
working in silver and gold ores in
addition to copper. The location
of the reported strike is about 10
miles from Reno.-Reno Gazette.

Sells Liquor Without License

John Weber, a Las Vegas res
taurant keeper, vas recently ar
rested for selling liquor without a
license. He sold the liquor openly,
making no attempt whatever at con-
cealment. He pleaded guilty before
a justice of the peace and was fined
$50 and costs and given a suspended
sentence of 80 days in the county
jail. A large stock of liquors was
cunfiscated and will be destroyed
by the county. 1t is probable that
charges will be brought against him
by the federal authorities, as a fed
eral officer is now in Las Vegas in
vestigating the case.

Tries To XIII Chum

Only the fact that he used a de-
fective revolver averted a tragedy
in Winnemucca when d. E. Kin
ney, a brakeman, pointed the gun
as his chum V. l.. King, and pulled
the trigger three times. Kinney was
intoxicated and a dispute with his
suited in the attempt to kill him.
King left town after the occurrence
and as he cannot be found to appear
against Kinney, it is thought the
charge will be dropped.

LAFAYETTE TOWNSHIP
HAS SCHOOL PROBLEM

The people of Lafayette township
are up against a rather peculiar prob
lem that is to be discussed in their
literary on Wednesday evening, Feb.
28.
The question is: Should the township
support high school, or continue to
send their pupils from the 9th grade to
the villages surrounding for the COM
pletion Of their high school course :?
This is practical question which Wit
ally affects the whole community and
one in which considerable thought
should be taken. Messrs. .Babcock and
Myers will lead the discussion for the
affirmative and Messrs. Cutler and
Nickerson will present the arguments
for the negative. There will be op-
portunity for open discussion after
both sides have been presented.
This promises to be interesting, be-
cause Of the fact that all rural COM
munities are facing the proposition
how to maintain the church, school,
and social life that was so prevalent
in our country only a half generation
ago. What does the school have to
offer rural community?

SURPRISED ON 25th
MARRIAGE ANNIVERSARY

Mr.. and Mrs. w. 0. Kindig of 735
South Court street were very happily
surprised Tuesday evening, when
about so of their neighbors and friends
filed in and tangibly reminded them
that Feb. 20 was the twenty-ffth an
niversary of their marriage. The party
assembled at the home of L. F. Gar
yer before proceeding to the Kindig
home. It's hardly fair to tell it, but
Will had gone to bed think of it, at
8 o'clock and thoughtlessly had left
his trousers on the ground floor. They
were soon recovered, however, and the
quarter-century groom appeared with
all the spirit Of former days. In be-
half of the friends assembled, L. F.
Carver presented Mr.. and Mrs. Kindig
with very beautiful set of silver
knives and forks, Mr.. Kindig respond
ing eloquently. Aware of the disad-
vantage at which Mr.. and Mrs. Kindig
might be placed at that time of the
night, the visitors fortified themselves
with a substantial luncheon, with
which and in CONJUNCTION with caro-
games, etc, the occasion was an un'
usually felicitous one.

DEATH SUMMONS
John II. LOWE

The little settlement Of Friendsville,
near Leroy, mourns the death of one
of it's oldest and respected citizens,
John H. Lowe, which occurred last
Friday morning at 6 o'clock, culminat-
ing steadily failing health for more
than year.
John Lowe was native of Aberdin-
shire, Scotland, and was born there
Aug. 18, 1888, thus being in his 10th
year at the time Of his death. With
his parents he emigrated to America
in 1854, the family settling in Medina
county, where, with the exception Of a
short period spent in Canada where he
met and won his life's companion, he
had spent the balance Of his life.
While following to some extent the
life of farmer, Mr.. Lowe was better
known as veterinary, profession he
had pursued with success for many
years.
The deceased is survived by three
sons-Alexander of Cleveland, Robert
of British Columbia and Albert, who
resides at the old home; also a broth
er, George, of Cleveland, and a sister,
Mrs. Maggie French, of Massillon. A
nephew, C. B. Lowe, resides in Medina.
The wife preceded Mr.. Lowe in death
last April.
Funeral services were held Sunday
afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home,
conducted by Rev. Williams Of the
Methodist church at Leroy. The body
was placed in the vault in Spring
Grove cemetery, Medina.

STRUCK BY LOG;
DIES soon AFTER

er of Weymouth, met with an accident
Saturday afternoon while engaged
with his son in loading logs not far
from his home, which resulted in his
death Sunday evening at German hos
pital, Cleveland, whittier he had been
conveyed in final effort to save his
life. He expired before an operation
could Be made.
The two men had been hauling logs
all day and were lifting the last log
onto the sled when something, either
the end Of the log or a hook which is
not certain, came violently in contact
with Mr.. Brought's side. He was not
disabled for a few minutes and at
tempted to keep on with his work.
Soon, however, he was overcome with
pain and was taken to his home. His
condition grew steadily worse until
Sunday when it was apparent that
surgery must be resorted to. Accom-
panied BY DR.. Robinson q hurried trip
was made to the Cleveland hospital,
but in vain.
The deceased was a native Of Me-
dina township, having been born in
Weymouth, May 16, 1849. He was
one Of the best known men Of this
section and enjoyed a wide circle Of
friends. He had prospered as a
farmer and was held in high esteem by
all who knew him.
Besides the widow there survive
three sons, Frank Of Weymouth, Ar
chic Of Idaho and Irwin Of Akron; a
daughter, Mrs. Ed. Hatch of Canton.
and two sisters, one residing in Michi-
gan. the other in Indiana.

EXPENSIVE TREATING

If there is any likelihood of your
being hailed before Mayor Randall
for playing the Nbooze game" it will
be we'll for you to have your check
book with you and a reasonable sur
plus in the banking institution where
you do business. The mayor is sock
ing it to 'em these days. Oliver Ely
was the last one to receive a pecun-
larry upercut from the mayor, it being
delivered by "his honor" last Satur-
day. Oliver plead guilty to the charge
Of having given liquor to one who had
previously collided headlong with hte
law while overwhelmed by intoxicants

costs, in all $13.75 and suspended
sentence Of ten days in the Canton

new RAILROAD NOW
APPEARS CERTAIN

That the movement to form rail-
road connection between Seville and
Wadsworth is well grounded, was
learned this week and it seems to be
merely a question of who shall build
and operate The line. 1t appears that
New York Central railroad officials
have interested themselves in the prop
osition and may decide to build the
line. That it is to be built, however,
is practically a certainty, as it is
pretty definitely understood that the
O.. S. & c., purpose laying the road if
other interests do not and will lose no
time in carrying out their plans, prob
ably within the next year.

MILK PRODUCERS HOLD
IMPORTANT MEETING

notwithstanding that two of the
three scheduled speakers were un-
avoidably absent, the second annual
meeting of the Medina Auxiliary Of
the Northern Ohio Milk Producers as
sociation held at the court house last
Friday afternoon was an interesting
and successful one.
d. c. Shepard Of Medina, who was
to have addressed the meeting on
'sThe Relative aVlue of Feeds" was at
home ill and M. E. Baker of the Cleve-
land Chamber Of Commerce was un-
able to be present and give his talk on
'sWhy the City is Vitally Interested"
H. W. Ingersoll, president of the as
sociation, was present, however, and
his address on "The Prospect for Bet
tier Prices" was listened to attenively
| by a large attendance and elicied con-
siderable discussion at its close. vi
President Ingersoll told Of the ext
lceptional results being obtained by the
| National Milk Producers association
and that auxiliaries, such as that IN
| Medina county, are being formed from
time to time and in conjunction with
| the national association are achieving
substantial results.
Mr.. Ingersoll was late in his arrival
at the meeting and in the interim 9
| vote was taken as to tentative price
for he sale of next sumer's milk. Last
summer the average price per gallor
was little better han 15 cents. After
some discussion it was voted that IS
cents would be q fair figure for tht
coming summer. Mr.. Ingersol, how,
ever, being "rooter" for just prices
declared that 19 cents was not enough
and that 20 cnets can be obtained i
/ shippers stand together for it. Those
arguing for the former rate said tha
la 20 cent rate would cause the r1arke
to Be flooded, many who do not shiI
! their milk now taking advantage N
! the high rate and thus aut0maticail!
l.causing reduction in price evel
j greater than otherwise would obtain
| President Ingersoll regarded this a
\ false reasoning.
/ The following officers were electel
4 for the year: John X. Clark, presl
dent; H, Munson, vice president; 5: ;
i Stoddard, secretary and treasurer
Heretofore the membership fee h
u the Northern Ohio Milk Producers Az
sociation was $1.00, so cents Of whic
remained in the treasury Of the allS
!, IiIiaries. It found thu this was not slit
. ficient either for the association or "a
auxiliaries. The Auxiliary raised Il
fee TO rs cents, which with the asso
citation mmbership. makes the meinbe
