As Given Last Week

Veterans of three wars will unite
in observing Memorial day and to-
gether with the Boy and Girl Scouts,
public school children, citizens bat
talon and woman's relief corps will

ton of the soldiers graves will be

in last weeks Sentinel. Conveyances
for G. A. r. veterans and members
of the woman's relief corps will as

Greater significance is attached to
Memorial day this year from the fact
that the United States has just
emerged from the most dreadful war
in the history of the world. Medina
county has suffered the loss of a
number of her boys, six of whom
Harry Brooks, Franklin Clark, Myron
Curtiss, Fred W. Hoyt, Earnest T.

BOY SCOUT DRIVE
WILL START SOON
'Invest a Dollar in B0yhOOd To Build
Manhood" Is Slogan.

Chairman d. w. Pearce announced
this week that the drive in Medina
county for associate memberships in
the Boy Scouts will start soon. The
quota for this county is 272. 'As-
sociate memberships are to be issued
for one dollar per member. 'Invest
dollar in boyhood to build manhood"
is the slogan for the drive.
1t is to strengthen the national Or
ganization of Boy Scouts which in
turn will be better prepared to foster
the community organizations that the
drive is planned. The slow growth
of the Scout movement is attributed
to the lack of facilities Of the national
organization. Ohio has been asked to
contribute 100000 to put the Scout
work on it's feet and enable the ma
tional Boy Scout council to organize
the state properly and maintain by
proper support community Boy Scout
councils now organized or those plan
ned for organization. There are only
Is frst-class Scout councils in Ohio,
although enough boys are clamoring
for membership to form ten times
that number. 1t has been impossible
to enlarge the field of work, however,
because of lack of funds by the ma
tional organization. The associate
membership drive therefore is an eff
fort to get the support of older peo-
pie for Scouts that adequate provision
may be made for extending the Boy
Scout program to larger proportion
of American boyhood.
Senator Warren G. Harding and
Governor. James M Cox have indorsed
the Scout drive and are urging it's sup
port by the public. Both are enthusi-
astic admirers of the Scouts.

AKRON HAS A BIG
BUILDING SCHEME ON FOOT

Akron, it is announced, is to exper-
ience a great building boom this year.
An investment company has been
formed over there with a capital Of
$25, 100000 and it is expected that
5000 homes will be built this year
and that all will be finished before
the end of the year.
Those contemplating the owning Of
home will be loaned money with
which to build, and every encourage
ment offered to those inclined to take
advantage of this proposition.
Akron manufacturing concerns have
for several years, been hampered for
lack of help, one of the reasons being
that working people could find no
place in which to house their families.
This is commendable move for
Akron and if the plan works out
successfully will no doubt be followed
up by other cities. Cleveland, we
understand, has similar sort of move
ment on hand.

WADSWORTH NOSES OUT
LOCAL CHURCH OF CHRIST

The most warmly contested struggle
between any Sunday school in Medina
and any outside Of it came to a close
last Sunday after a continuance Of
ten weeks. The contestants were the
Church Of Christ here and the one in
Wadsworth. On Sunday morning the
church here was 33 ahead with the un-
precedented number Of All in the
school. As the building could not ac-
commodate so many, an overflow went
to the school house next door. Wads-
worth had AN attendance of 539, thus
beating Medina by 36. The interest
went far beyond the churches, and
extended so far as to become matter
of civic pride in the respective viii
lageS.

Jury HUNG IN
BIGHAM MURDER TRIAL
Finish Arguments Shortly After
Noon on Wednesday.

As stated last week the prosecution
rested its case on Thursday afternoon
in the Bigham murder trial at Tiffin.
Saturday Bigham took the witness
stand to defend himself against the
charge Of first degree murder.
He told his story in the same quiet
manner in which he related it at his
two previous trials.
! He said he went home at 1880 the
night Of August %. He denied men
tioning to his wife meeting he had
a few hours before with Mrs. Garda
Yonkers at which an alleged plan of
his wife and Mrs. Yonkers' husband
to elope was revealed. Instead he
said he talked of plans for the future.
"She started crying and said she
had been to Norwalk with Yonkers,'
said Bigham. "She said she was saw
ing money and that he was trying to
get her to go away. She gave me a
letter she said was from Yonkers and
roll Of bills. Iforgave her and we
went to Sleep"
/ Missing his wife when he awaken
ed about 3 o'clock in the morning,
Bigham said, he found her, dagger
lin her heart, in another part Of the
house.
"The first thing / saw was the
dagger" he testified. 'I pulled it
out and took her in my arms saying:
Mary, what have you done?'0
Cross examination Of Bigham was
conducted on Monday.
The defense rested its case Tuesday
morning at 10, several hours earlier
than had been anticipated. Few ex-
perts were put on the stand and ten
witnesses at the two previous trials
were not called.
The defense surprised court officials
| by offering to waive arguments and
permit the case to 60 at once to the
jury. ...
/, The state refused to agree to this
and Prosecutor G. d. Splitter and Ray
| G.. Carpenter <of Attica, counsel for
Bigham presented their arguments on
Tuesday afternoon. Attorney Frank
T. Dore Of Tifin for the defense. and
Judge George E. Schroth, for the
state, closed the arguments Wednes-
day. The case went to the jury at
l2:45 Wednesday afternoon.
Judge William F. Duncan, who pre-
sided, ordered the jurors kept under
guard of the sheriff until the verdict
is returned. They spent Wednesday
night in wing Of a hotelwhile sher-
iff's deputies kept watch.
AT 1880 Thursday afternoon the
jury were still unable to agree on q
verdict

BEST PRODUCING OIL WELLS

AM The best producing oil well in the
Chatham territory is on the Dan Ross
farm. Harry Dempsey few days
ago drilled in $50 barrel well. This
well pumped $50 barrels the first 13
hours, and Mr.. Dempsey claims that
it is doing that well and even better
since. Mr.. Dempsey paid $1OO an
acre for this lease some time ago.
Interest in the oil industry is in
creasing, and many new men are in
the field. There are about so oil
rigs at work, and more reported on
the way.
Almost daily 100-barrel oil tanks
are hauled to the Chatham field, to
take care Of the rapidly increasing
amount of oil.

Last Sunday was "Victofy Day" in
the local Methodist Episcopal church.
A report showed that members had
subscribed $4,000 in the recent cen
tenary drive, a trifle more than the

in, is expected to raise this amount
somewhat. "The splendid cooperation
and spirit Of the people is prophetic
of greater things" declared the pastor
in discussing the work accomplished.
