+. w. Schleman, VINO owns farm
on the Infrmary road, assisted in the
overpowering of two Cleveland pris-
oners bound for the Mansfield re-
formatory when with the aid of re-
volvers furnished by confederates,
the two convicts attempted to hold
up the officer in charge and other
members of a Southwestern car, in an
attempt to escape. The scene was
enacted on a car which was due to
arrive in Medina at three o'clock on
Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Schleman,
who works in Cleveland during the
week, had boarded the car at the
Cleveland Square and was on his way
home to spend the week end.
The men were in charge of an Of
ficer, who was taking them to Mans
field. Directly behind the men sat
two confederates, as events later
proved. Alongside the street car
ran an automobile containing friends
of the prisoners.
AS the interurban neared the New
York Central railroad crossing in
West Park a shot was heard from
outside the car and later passengers
learned the bullet had entered a win
dow of the car and penetrated the
coat sleeve Of Service Director Carl
Strander, of Mansfield, a passenger.
With this one Of the two passengers
who sat behind the prisoners was
seen to pass some object concealed in
a handkerchief to one of the prison
ers. The prisoners then freed them
selves from the accompanying officer
and handcuffed to each other fired
two shots at the officer, missing him.
Then they turned to the passengers
and commanded them: "Keep your
seats"
AS they moved to the rear of the
car, the officers threw himself upon
them and other passengers entered
the fight.
Two passengers who rode behind
the prisoners, left the car immedi-
ately and ran for an automobile
standing nearby. One passenger
watched them board the automobile
but in the excitement within the car
failed to notice the direction it took
The prisoners were disarmed. They
were Andrew Piliski, 19, Chardon
a parole violator from the Mansfield
reformatory, who was found guilty
OF attempted pocket picking in Judge
Joseph Sawicki's police court and
sentenced to the reformatory, and
Edward Grove, %, of Cleveland, also
a parole violator from the reforma-
tory, who was found guilty of bur-
glary and larceny in the Cuyahoga
county common pleas court last week
Both had been searched at the
county Jail by the accompanying of.
ficer, Capt.C. W. Rowe, of the re.
formatory and by deputy sheriffs.

route to the reformatory, it is be-
lieved, had been Matched while the

None was injured, although Capt

of the close range at which the pris.
oners fired at him.

CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY
BUT WON'T TELL WHICH

Friends of Billy Rickard gathered
at his home Saturday afternoon to
celebrate his birthday. He is one of
the second-class pioneers-the boys
of the older school Of early settlers
and is known widely over the county.
A pleasant afternoon and evening
was spent by those present.
Mr.. Rickard, despite many insist
ent demands to know his age, refused
absolutely to tell it. Uncle Billy is as
skittish as young colt; he is as Sc
cretive about his age as an old maid
no reflection on the elderly lady. I'm
Gle Billy is we'll preserved and don't
seem to want folks to know just how
much that "good front" of his is
covering up.

The speaker, Mr.. A. w. Place, gave
an excellent address on the milk pro
ducers organization as it handles the
business of $500 farmers who sell to
the Pittsburg area. This company
sells to Pittsburg, Youngstown, War
ren, Ashtabula, Conneaut and many
other places. 1t is probably the best
and largest farmers sales company
in this section of the country.
The election of officers resulted in
the selection of P. P. Elliott, of West
field township, as president in place
of S. B. Stoddard, who felt that he
could not longer give of his services
as he has the past two years. Mr.E.
W. Nettleton, of Medina, was made
vice president in place of W. E. Leach
who has to devote a great deal of
time to the Office of county commits
sioner at present. r. E. Lance, of
York, was made secretary in place of
H. w. Codding and J. T. Mayer, of
Liverpool, was reelected to his place
as member Of the executive commit
tee to be chosen at large. The other
members Of the executive are chosen
by several organizations of the coun-
ty.
Considerable discussion was entered
into regarding the dues that should be
paid to carry on the work for next
year. Financially it will take con-
siderably more to carry on than this
past year has taken. 1t was finally
voted to charge two dollars for 1920.
A membership campaign will be car
ried on during January.

BUILDS CINDER PATHS
Effort Put Forth To Spend
Money That Could Have Been
Saved By Careful Business
Management.
MUST RUN CARS SLOW
OVER PRESENT TRACKS

As it's been Is or 20 minutes since
we have written about the paving
or lack Of paving-on N. Court street,
we will "take our pen in hand" and
proceed to get busy.
Instead Of encouraging Contractor
Kellogg in his efforts to pave that
thoroughfare last summer the South
western manipulators all the time
held back--promised to do this and
that today and tomorrow, but never
did anything. 1t was penny wise
and pound foolish" policy-but that's
the whole history Of the Southwes-
tern management. What's the result
To have shifted the tracks in June
or July so that Contractor Kellogg
could go ahead with the work of paw
ing, and then shift back when he had
the work done, would have been little
expense. Little or no ballasting
would have been needed at the street
crossings, etc. A few weeks would
have seen the whole street completed
and all annoyance and further ex-
pense NEEDED.
But instead of encouraging Con-
tractor Kellogg, which he stood in
need of. the Southwestern hindered;
in fact it did not order it's switch; as
agreed upon, and in a dozen ways
held back the whole improvement
So note the result:
The Southwestern was punched ul
until it dare not procrastinate furth-
er. But as this was late in the season
Contractor Kellogg could not COM
plete the work this fall. So the
Southwestern, for it's own protection
was forced to ballast its tracks on
top the ground, build cinder cross
walks at street intersections, and dc
dozen and one other little jobs that
all cost money.
We see the company, then. with all
this added expense, no nearer tc
permanent trackage than if these
hundreds of dollars had not been ex,
panded. Its lodging, peanut policy
has in no way added to the value OF
the road, and has not put dollar
into it's exchequer. It has led to q
considerable expenditure of money
that should have been kent for divi.
dends; that might have been kept fol
dividends under a business handling
of the financial affairs of the com.
pany. But this dilly-dallying in Me.
dina is but piece of it's past genera
policy and the people of Medina neee
expect nothing, from the Southwes.
tern except what Medina's Council
stands the Southwestern management
up in the corner and extracts by ant
with the aid of a blackjack ane
jimmy.
The road has paid out enough now
or at least it has promised to pa,
out, though the bills may not yet be
liquidated, to have put the road inte
permanent shape to weather severa
years of profitable operation. A pea
nut policy has always predominatee
in the handling of the oSuthwester,
system.

MEDINA YOUNG PEOPLE

The Friendship class of the Church
of Christ Sunday school will give a

citizens in general. The committee
appointed under that title will be
called upon to do much of the pre-
liminary work in getting this move
ment under way, and in keeping it
moving until the building is COM
pleted and dedicated. D. S. Longacre
was appointed chairman of this COM
mittee, with Messrs. W.. C. Smith, L.
a. Randall, H. P. H. Robinson and J..
r. Moore working with him. But Mr..
Longacre says he can not possibly
give this work the time that it de-
serves-the work that it will take to
make the movement successful. So
he has resigned and no one has been
named to take his place.
This committee is the one to whom
the Medina people must look for
leadership in putting the project
across. While this committee is
without head not much forward
progress can be looked for. Pressure
is being brought to bear on the Of
ficers higher up to lead to speedy
filling OF this vacancy. Just at this
time progress should be continuous
that the public at large may not lose
interest in the movement. Not only
should the good that the institution
is certain to do receive early con-
summation, but from the standpoint
of public interest it is necessary that
steady progress forward be made.
Other members of the committee
are patiently waiting for a new head
for a new leader. No one of them
feels called upon to take the initia-
tive under circumstances existing.
but each is anxious that the vacancy
be filled that one and all on the COM
mittee may get busy.
Medina young people are watching
with bated breath for the first move
that promises complete fruition in
this project. Each one stands ready
to do that which is within his power
to make the movement success. The
commemorative feature of the pro-
lect does not weigh as heavily on the
hearts of the young people-perhaps
as on those of men and women who
nave seen more years and had a
wider experience. But the young peo-
pie are interested because they fully
understand the added interest in the
schools that will come to the young
people of all ages once this institu.
ton is certainty.
Certain people interested in this
proposition hope that Mr.. Longacre
may be prevailed upon to reverse his
decision and finally take UP the work
and give it the time required. In
ease Mr.. Longacre will not reverse
himself it is promised that a success
sor will be appointed very soon.
1t is hoped public meeting, with
competent exponents Of the commun.
ity project as speakers, may be helo
\ IN the near future. A few Of the
men interested know the need o1

When interviewed in the>mat-
ter Mr.. Longacre said he did
not want off the committee;
that he wanted to stick, and in
tended to stick; that his heart
was in the project and he
hoped to see it a big success.
What he wanted, he said,
was to be relieved of the chair
manship. He was ready to
serve on the committee, and
give the project his full sup
port; but the craftsmanship, as
he explained, would require 6
considerable detail work for
which he had not time and
which some one that has the
time should undertake SO that
no opportunity may be- over
looked. "But I'm glad to stay
on the committee, and do my
full duty" said Mr.. Longacre."
