JEALOUSY CAUSE
OF THE SHOOTING
Anonymous Letter Figures
In The Case; Authorities
Are Notified

BELLVILLE, Ohio, July 11-Waltz
Oswalt, who lives two and one-half
miles east of here, when returning
home after spending the evening with
his girl friend, very narrowly escaped
death, or serious wounds at least,
when 20 calibre bullet, coming out
of the darkness missed his body by
a margin of about two inches and,
glancing on the steering wheel of the
machine he was driving, imbedded it.
self in the cushion of the car.
According to reports, young Os.
walt has been keeping company with
the young lady in question for some
time. He has, during the past sever
al weeks, received a number of anon
ymous letters warning him to cease
such attentions. The last letter re.
ceived stated that unless he gave
heed to warning in the communica.
tions and stopped going to see the
girl, he would meet with death.
The young lady also received an
unsigned letter last week, in which
the character Of Oswalt was assailed
and various disreputable statements
in regard to him were made. She
was advised to avoid his company.
Neither Oswalt nor the young lady
gave any heed to these communica.
tions and the writer is thought to be
the person who fired the shot that so
nearly hit its intended mark.
The shooting occurred between II
and IL o'clock, just as Oswalt had
reached the covered bridge about one.
half mile southeast of here. This
place Is very dark, and the road goes
along the creek until the bridge is
reached, when an abrupt turn Is
made. The shot was fired from the
left side of the road, and the person
shooting was evidently concealed n
little above the level of the highway
along the creek bank.
The young man, accompanied by
his father, John OsYalt, went to
Mansfield and held a consultation
with Prosecuting Attorney T.. r. Rob
inson. MIR. Oswalt had the bullet
which was taken from the cushion OF
the automobile.

JAPAN AND america
70iCET NEWCAB[E

TOXIC, July II Correspondence of
The Associated Press)-The project
of laying another submarine cable
line between Japan and the United
States as private enterprise with a
view to facilitate and improve the tel
egraphic communications between
the two countries is reported to be
making headway. The plan is said
to have secured the warm support of
Japanese government authorities and
of over 80 influential business men
who are expected to finance the un.
dertaking.
The organization committee, head
ed by Kakichi Uchida, former vice
minister of communications, Baron
Kumakichi Nakajima and Baron Shi.
busawa. has entrusted the investiga-
tiOn of technical matters to the ex-
perts of the communication depart
ment, professors of the imperial uni
versity and engineers of the army.
Four lines have now been suggest
ed and Investigations are being made
as to which route is the most avail
able, One proposed route would land
at Vancouver. the other three routes
at San Francisco. Two of the pro-
posed routes would touch Honolulu.
The investigators say that the mum.
ber of words handled on the Pacific
cable during the past few years shows
a yearly proportionate increase OF
about 80 per cent. About 100000
words were carried in 1918.
