ARREST ONE OF
THE SEVILLE ROBBERS?

Pinkerton detectives, who have been
working on the Seville depot robbery,
believe that Harry Holmes, alias
"Kid" Holmes, who was arrested at
Toledo on Wednesday of this week
and taken to Cleveland where he was
identified of robbing the West Cleve-
land bank Of that city of $65,0OO on
June 16, is one of the gang who blew
the Southwestern depot safe at Sc
vile. H
They had practically established the
fact that the job was done by band
with headquarters in Toledo, and even
before the Cleveland police made the
arrest, had had Holmes under sur
veillance.
1t is expected that the three men
who were in the station at the time
Of the robbery will be taken to Cleve-
land and given a chance to identify
him.

DITCH ROW AT LAKE

County commissioners ran into a
hot bed on Wednesday of this week
when they went to Chippewa Lake
with the intention of ordering sand
bar in the lake outlet just below the
bridge removed
This stream is officially known as
the Westfeld- Strong-Porter ditch.
Members of the Chippewa Lake Com
munity club and others interested in
lake property were on hand and OBJ
jected strenuously to the removal, as
it will have tendency to lower the
lake level. Farmers and others have
asked that it be done.
The matter was left undecided, but
it is understand that formal applica-
tion will be filed this week asking that
the proper legal steps be taken to re-
move the obstruction.

GOES TO MONTICELLO. IND.
FOR ALLEGED THIEVES

Deputy Sheriff Hange left Wednes-
day for Monticello, Ind, from where
he expected to return Thursday with
Chester Crumpacker and Andy Mick
OILS, two lads suspected of stealing 500
several weeks ago, from Chester
Leiby, who lives on the Smith road
at the Summit county line.
Nichols parents live at Turkeyfoot
Lake, and reimbursed the Lelbys some
time ago. Crumpacker's home is at
Monticello.
The two lads paid a visit, to Leiby's
home where Nichols had formerly
been employed, and after they had de-
parted it was discovered that $100
was missing. The pair went to the
Crumpacker home in Monticello and
were arrested by the police of that
city. They agreed to waive extra

MANY ATTENDED
ALUMNI BANQUET

About 200. guests attended the
alumni banquet held in the Congrega-
tional church basement last Friday
evening. The principal event of the
evening was talk by DR.. John Nc
Dowell of Columbus, who gave an ac-
count Of his work in the public health
service of the state of Ohio. Short
talks were also given by Mrs. Chas.
Hobart, Mr.. Ezra Mason, and by one
or two members Of the alumni who
had not been back for a number Of
years. The three classes which were
admitted into the association were
also represented by speakers.
4 The question of holding picnic in
stead Of banquet was discussed at
the meeting, considerable stress being
placed on the fact that while the as
sociation now comprises about 1900
members, but 200 can attend a ban
quet owing to the capacity Of a
dining room required. The mat
ter was left for decision with the
executive committee, and will be de-
cided later. ~.
An elegant supper was served, the
courses interspersed with selections by
a double quartet, after which many Of
the younger set attended the high
school dance.

Were Residents of Lodi Until A Few
Months Ago.

Charles and Joseph Kobel, brothers,
aged Fl and 10 years, were instantly
killed at Sterling at a. m. Sunday,
when train backed into their auto
mobile at the tower crossing.
The young men had been at a party
at the home of their sister, near Lodi,
and were enroute to their home at
Rittman when the accident occurred.
A train was switching, the conduc-
tor being on the rear end. He saw
the auto approaching, and yelled at
the occupants, but they failed to hear
him, and were unaware Of the ap-
proach of the train
The automobile, an Overland, was
carried under the train, three cars of
which were derailed. Both young
men died instantly, and the body Of
one remained beneath the car for four
hours until the wreck train arrived
and lifted the railroad car from the
wrecked auto.
The Kobels were sons Of Jos. Kobel,
and though they had been living at
Rittman the past three months, were
born and raised between Burbank and
Lodi. Brief funeral services were

LOCAL HUNTERS GET .
N~
PLENTY OF BEAR

H. G.. Rowe, one of four to make up
local hunting and fishing party that
left Medina for the Selkirk Mountains,
B. c., five weeks ago, returned home
Thursday. He left the other three of
his companions on Kootenay Lake last
Sunday where they intended to fish
for salmon several days and then re-
turn home on the northern Canadian
Racific route, going north of Lake
Superior to Toronto enroute. The
party experienced much rain and even
snow in the mountains, delaying the
arrival in camp and keeping the hunt
ers inside camp almost half the per-
iod of their stay. High water in the
mountain streams made the fishing
poor, altho some Dolly Warden trout
were taken as well as a specimen of
the rare grayling.
But better success was scored in
hunting. W. E. Haines secured a
fine grizzly and had all the thrills of
coming onto the not too gentle brute
after wounding it. He killed it
close on in big log jam, with the
animal roaring at the last gasp.
DIR. H. C. Kenyon of Cleveland shot
three black bear, a very good score
for a first-timer in the mountains.
Rowe wounded grizzly, and after
supposing he had "killed it dead" and
started up mountain side to begin
skinning operations, found the "silvel
tip" more alive than dead, as only a
pool of blood and a bloody trail re-
warded the climb. This trail was
followed part of two days, camping
on it at night, until heavy rain
storm came on, washed out the trail
and ended any possibility Of coming
up with the wounded bear.
DR.. Freeman hunted only for rare
flowers and birds, and was successful
as well as busy, finding and Securing
many specimens.
Much small game was seen by The
party as we'll as about Is bears
Messrs. Haines, Freeman and Kenyon
are expected home within the mex
three or four days.

we're BOUND over
TO GRAND JURY
SEIDL CONFESSES
TO SHERIFF BIGELOW
Story of Strange Man Was But the
Invention of a Fertile
Brain.

8 That the story told authorities last
week by Aloysius Seidle and Charles
Mckenzie, relative to the driving
away from Chippewa Lake of Ford
car belonging to c. F. Bockhoff, of
Leroy, was but the product of fer
tile brain, was the admission by Seidl
on Monday of this week, previous to
their arraignment before Justice Of
the Peace Ainsworth.
The men were arrested on Sunday.
June Is, at the Hanshue garage, at
Leroy at the point of gun. Their
story as told at the time of their ar
rest was to the effect that having
missed the 1:15 car they had accepted
an offer of stranger to ride with him
to the lake. Arriving at the lake the
three men wandered around together
and the owner of the machine became
infatuated with some young lady and
asked the two Medina men to drive
his Ford back to Medina and leave
it in a local garage. Instead of fol-
lowing the instructions of the owner
they picked another car-by mistake,
of .course-and drove to Seville and
Leroy, where they were apprehended
by CIV Hanshue, who had previously
been notified of the stolen cars num-
ber. There were to weak spots in
the above story-one, the fact that
this stranger neglected to tell his
name or place of residence, and
secondly he forgot to give the men the
magnetic key, pen knife having been
used as substitute. Taken before
Justice of Peace Ainsworth the pair
had their hearing postponed until
Monday of this week and were re-
manded to Jail on failure to obtain
$500 bonds.
Previous to their arraignment this
week Seidl, whb is the younger of
the two, being but II years of age,
confessed to the sheriff that they had
simply taken the car with no other in
tention than to take a joy ride and
abandon the machine near Medina.
He stated that the pair had gone out
on the lake in a boat and discussed
the plan before it was put into execu-
ton. The story of the strange own
er's request had all been planned in
advance, according to Seidl. Mckenzie,
however, still denied that this was so,
declaring that Seidl was lying in an
effort to obtain light penalty be-
fore jury which might be influenced
by the youthfulness of the prisoner.
After confessing Seidl waived hear
ing and was bound over to the pro-
hate i1due who has Jurisdiction in
juvenile cases. The probate court
Immediately bound the prisoner over
to the grand jury, bond being fixed at
$500 which was furnished. Mckenzie
also waived a hearing and was bound
over from Ainsworth's court under a
bond of like amount which was fur
nished by his employers.
The charge of operating a motor
vehicle without the owners consent,
under which the two young men were
held, is punishable by sentence to
| the penitentiary.

pesch of land about mile
square inside of which the youngsters
had taken refuge. 1t is estimated that
at least 500 men were on this square.
/ The idea of a blood hound from
Sullivan was suggested but before the
dog could arrive the chase had ended.
The capture was made by party
of men who, in beating the fields, dis
covered the fugitives hiding under
some scrub timber. The 14-year-old
son of Owen Walters distinguished
himself at this point by leveling an
empty shot gun at one of the men,
who Immediately surrendered. To re-
ward him for his deed citizens gath
cred purse of money and presented
it to the happy youngster.
After their capture the boys were
exhibited to the throng gathered and
snap shots taken. A quick getaway
was made by the sheriff, however, as
news Of Knapp's condition had reached
the crowd and several murmurs were
heard suggesting rope instead of a
trial. ..O.
When captured the lads were minus
their guns, which were found Monday
near the spot where the fatal shoot
ing occurred. One was 22-caliber,
one 80, and the other, .38-caliber.
1t was from the latter gun that the
bullets which struck Knapp were fired.
All three weapons were of ancient
make and had seen hard usage.
The suit cases, which had been
abandoned in the flight, were also
located. The boys had bathed in a
creek previous TO their arrival at
the Falconer store and had donned
new suits, shirts and shoes. The dis
carded outfits were found near a
small waterway.
| Monday Marshal Youngblood of
Orrville visited the boys in the county
Jail and they confessed to several
robberies which had been committed
in that city last fall and winter Their
confession also implicated a fourth
youth from Orrville, who was placed
under arrest upon the marshal's re-
turn. Mr.. Youngblood stated that the
boys all had parents living in or near
Orrville but said they had been
under suspicion for some time, al
though the police of that city had
been unable to "get the goods" on
them.
Marshal Fry stated to a Sentinel
representative that the gunmen had
fired nearly fifty shots before their
capture, emptying their revolvers sew
eral times at such short ranges that
missing their mark was nothing short
Of miraculous.
When asked why he had fired point
blank at Knapp, Blood or Merritt
stated that he did not intend to shoot
direcly at the man, but became con-
fused and failed to realize the damage

Former Medina TEACHER
WINS HIGH HONORS
Chief Construction Engineer on the
Seaplane N. G. A.

Many Medina county people will be
surprised to learn that former teach
er in the local high school had charge
of the final construction work on the
N. C. 4, the "lame duck" in the recent
u. S. transatlantic fight, which
reached the other side ahead of the
three companion ships. This person
was none other than Herman Kraeft,
who taught manual training in the
high school here for several years, re
signing two years ago, and married
Miss Christina Dannley, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Dannley.
Mr.. Kraeft has been in the employ
Of the Curtis Engineering Co., and
during the war had charge of4the con-
struction of small flying boat, de-
signed to train pilots for the Navy
Curtis boats. With the cessation of
hostilities Mr.. Kraeft was placed on
the experimental work which finally
resulted in the four seaplanes making
their famous flight across the Atlantic
under the auspices of the U. S. gov
ernment. Special pains were taken by
Mr.. Kraeft in the construction of the
hull and the installation Of the gas
systems, tanks, pilots cockpit and the
control levers. As the work was
mainly experimental, frequent changes
in various parts of the construction
were necessary, but Mr.. Kraeft stuck
to his job. Shortly after the N. c, 4
became damaged at the start of its
flight Mr.. 'Kraeft was subjected tt
the jibes of friends and acquaintances
and he was again called upon for re-
pairs, which were finished in time tc

misfortune in getting started had beer
