PASSES after
LONG ILLNESS

Wallace Swartz, son OF John X. and
field county, Ohio, July IL, 1849. After
lingering illness of much suffering he
departed this life at his home in Cold
water, o., July IL, 1918, aged 90 years.
While yet Ill his teens he moved to Mer-
Ger county with his parents, making his
home in and about Wabash until years
ago, when he moved to Coldwater. He
was one OF family of seven children,
four boys and three girls. One brother,
James Swartz of Dayton, o., and two
sisters, Mary Landfair OF Celina and Do
ra Adams of Erastus, survive. In 1877
he was united in marriage to Anna Belle
Andrews. To this union were born six
children Carrie and Carl, deceased;
Mrs. Louis Granger, of Coldwater, Mrs.
c. G. Wrigley, of Lima; Mrs Howard
Chapman, of Lima, and Mrs. Clarence
Snider, of Coldwater. He was the grand
father of eight grandchildren, of whom
survive.
Thirty-fve years ago he united with
the Wabash Christian Church and re-
mained faithful servant of his Master
to the end. His last days we're full of
faith, hope and assurance in a crucified
King. During his last illness he was
tenderly cared for by those who we're
nearest and dearest to him.
Servant of God, we'll donel
Thy glorious warefares past,
The battles fought, the race is won,
And thou art crowned at last.
The funeral services were conducted
from the Swamp College Christian
church, Saturday, July ID with Rev. M.

! tramps, by chasing COWS out of corn
fields; they guard the forests and fight
forest fires, and they make poach'ng a
dangerous occupation. In the great
Austin flood in 1911 they did all the
police work, prevented looting, recoy
cred the bodies of victims and fed the
| homeless for two weeks.
Practically all of the men in the
force are eX-army men. They must
pass rigid physical and mental tests.
For a whole year they are cadets and
trained and drilled in law and law en-
forcement and instructed how to pre-
pare cases and obtain evidence which
will stand in courts. Remember that
this force is the finest thing in the
world" is the constant admonition Of
Major Groome. The men are enlisted
for two years and it is an iron-clad
rule that once a man is dismissed from
the service for cause he is never taken
back. They wear a service uniform Of
gray-black whipcord, cut military fash,
ion with black helmets and chin straps,
black puttees, gloves and boots They
are armed with revOlvers, heavy ba-
tons and Springfield carbines. There
are four troops each made up of cap
tain, lieutenant, first sergeant four
sergeants, four corporals, one black
smith and forty-fve privates.
The records of the department show
countless deeds of heroism-deeds
which in war would have won Victoria
crosses. Theirs is the kind of courage
which makes them work twenty-four,
thirty-siX and forty hours without rest
and little food when conditions de-
mand it.

RAT is FRIEND OF MINERS
Workers Warned of Coming catas-
trophe When the Rodents Leave
Tunnel-Are Fed by Men.

Investigators of mining conditions
and the peculiar dangers to which
miners are subjected recently have
taken much interest in the practice
Of Western gold miners to make pets
Of the rats which commonly infest
mines. On the mother lode of Cali
fornia it has been found that the
miners invariably feed the rats and
take are of them, believing that the
rodents are a source of protection
against accident, says Our Dumb Ami
mails. This is due, the men say, to the
instinct of the rats, which warns them
when a tunnel is unsafe. And when
the rats leave a tunnel it Is almost i'm
possible to get the miners to work
there. This recalls the belief among
sailors that rats will leave a doomed
ship. The miners also have found that
rats are much more susceptible than
humans to the dangerous gases that
SO often cause loss of life in the mines.
Long before the miners themselves are
affected by these gases the rats be-
come sick and show symptoms of dis
tress. So the men keep close watch
of the rats good health.
