BLOOD WILL NOT
ESCAPE A TRIAL

Claud Blood, Orlville youth, who
was indicted by the grand jury for
the murder of Constable Way Knapp,
Of Lodi, will have to stand trial
Notwithstanding the reported offer
made by the culprit's attorneys that
he would enter a plea of guilty of
first degree murder providing the
sentence could be fixed at life i'm
prisonment instead of chance at the
chair. 1t was not stated positively
this week that such an offer had
been made, although the prosecuting
attorney, when questioned, stated
that such plea would not be ac-
cepted in lieu of trial.
1t is understood in court circles
that the other two youths-Hulder-
man and Lawrence would be willing
to ylead guilty to the charge Of
manslaughter but it is not thought
probable that this will be allowed by
the prosecution.

WILL INVESTIGATE WADS-
WORTH MILK DEALERS

Prosecuting Attorney Stine will in
vestigate the action of Wadsworth
milk dealers whereby the price, of
milk was raised last week two cents
a quart.
Wadsworth retailers sent out print
ed notice last week stating that
henceforth they all agreed that milk
should retail at IA cents quart. The
notices were signed by Roy C. Wertz,
G. E. Seiberling and the Wadsworth
Dairy Co. These three firms control
the milk delivery business of this vii
lage. The new price is Ii cents, one
cent less than is being charged in
Medina. MT
According to the prosecutor the
signing of a notice by the firms to
raise the price of milk in this manner
looks firsthand like a direct violation
Of the Valentine antitrust law and Il
further investigation bear out this
view action win be taken. "

BRICK BLOCK PLANNED
FOR SOUTH COURT STRETE

What promises to be big i'm
provement for South Court street
was made possible Monday in the
sale of the old garage near the
Union hotel to the Messrs. Gibbs, Of
Medina and Brunswick. The property
faces on Smith Road and runs back
across the creek, also facing on
South Court street.
Plans under consideration embrace
the moving back or tearing down of
the present structure occupying part
of the site. A"sea walp will be
erected on and across the creek, and
the rear Of the structure border the
south line Of the property. In front
of this, facing on Smith Road, there
will be two-story brick erected.
The lots have a frontage Of nearly
100 feet, and the plans may be
stretched to include a handsome
building at this point.
Irwin Moore now occupies the old
building, and expects to continue to
in the new structure. Gibbs operates
a garage at Brunswick and should
he decide to move to Medina later

BUY THEIR FARM BACK
AFTER SELLING FOR $4,000

Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Rolph, liv-
ing at Ogden, Utah, own a small
farm on the Wadsworth Road. 1t
contains Is acres and has good
buildings and many up-to-date con-
veniences. It is pretty place and
the family spent many happy hours
there prior to going to Utah.
A cousin, who has been tenant
on the farm, sold the place to Frank
Lance a few weeks ago and wrote for
Rolph to come East and make the
transfer. Just as he was packing to
make the journey he and Mrs. Rolph
suffered an attack of "buck" fever
and decided not to sell and Mr.. Rolph
came East to settle with the pur-
chaser and withdraw the farm from
the market. At the last moment
they discovered that the Buckeye
state was the best place in the world,
and this little farm a choice parcel
too good to sell.

25-ACRE SITE
ASKED FOR PLANT
AKRON PROMOTERS MAKE
VERY TEMPTING PROMISES
Several Medina Men Have Made Good
Investments in Rubber Stocks
In Past

Several weeks ago, as published in
The Sentinel at the time, President
Carver, of the local Board Of Trade,
accompanied by other interested cit
izens, went to Akron to investigate
proposition to build and operate a
rubber plant in Medina. One of the
Akron leaders in the proposal was a
Mr.. Knolte, who has had much ex-
perience in rubber manufacture.
When the Medina business men
visited Akron the Akron people did
not have their plans SO formulated
that an intelligent discussion could
be made of the project in detail. At
that time the Akron promoters in
sisted that they be given Is per cent
for stock selling, both on the Medina
sales and the half Of the stock which
it was promised the Akron promoters
would subscribe. An agreement was
made to work out the project and
forward details to the Medina Board
Of Trade, as was printed in The Sen
tinel at that time.
Worked out and reduced to writing
the proposition is on this wise: 1. A
free gift by Medina of rs acres of
land for permanent site. 2. A guar
antee of sufficient water for the man.
ufacture of 1000 tires day, or their
equivalent. 3. A commission to the
promoters of Is per cent on the total
stock sales. 4. $1,0O0,OO0 stock to
be issued, half common and half
preferred. 5. $250,000 common to be
made a present TO the promoters for
services. 6. Medina to purchase $780,
900 preferred and the promoters take
the balance. 7. One share of common
to 60 free with two shares Of pre-
ferred at par.
The promoters promise to erect a
building 60x240 and a power plant
40x60, the former two stories high
They promise capacity to make 100C
tires day.
| The next regular meeting Of the
| Medina Board of Trade will be helc
ioa Wednesday evening, Oct. 15, al
(which time it is proposed to invite
NH lskson promoters to be present
and they; have promised to be Of
hand with additional data. This is tx
be public meeting, with all inter
ested Medina citizens urged to b
on hand.
1t is generally conceded that such ;
plant, successfully operated, would b.
a big benefit to Medina business in
terests. But there is hesitancy OF
the part of business and moneyet
men to enter into any such waite
supply guarantee; not but that it il
believed such water supply can b
easily found; still, blanket guar
antee does not seem feasible.
One or two Medina business mel
have made some very fancy rubber
stock investments, and naturally
their friends perk up their ears whe1
rubber stock is mentioned. And few
of the Board of Trade members arr
insisting that if a deal is made with
these Akron promoters they be tiet
down to GOOD BUSINESS CONDI
T1ONS, that each and every investor
may be protected and find in the enc
that he has a gilt edged security.

vention are many of them of national
repute, and this falls event promises
to be the biggest thing of its kinc
ever brought to SO small a COM
munity as Medina. Leaders in the
work say that local citizens should
be proud that their little city is SC

One of the things Medina citizens
must do to make this convention 9
success is to entertain delegates from
outside the county. The churches
have joined hands to that end, ant
each has appointed team to make
a house to house canvass to ascertain
how many can be comfortably houset
for the two days that the convention
will hold sessions here. There are q
ladies on these several church teams
six from each of the four church or
ganizations. People of Medina arr
urged, by those especially interested
in the convention, to be as liberal il
providing entertainment as possible
When the canvassers call, it is urged
you respond as quickly as possible tt
speed up the canvass.
Such a convention, it is being de
clared, will widely advertise an
| greatly benefit Medina. Then, too, j
will give the citizens Of the city
rare opportunity to hear some Of tn
best speakers, rarest thinkers an
most widely read scholars in tn
4 world While thisf,issto he Stat
convention, they tell us, nationa
speakers are down on the program
for addresses, and it is going to b
worth ones while to keep these date
open for attendance at one and al
sessions of the two days.

NAUGHTY! NAUGHTY!
they GET CAUGHT
TWO IRATE. HUSBANDS
TRACE WIVES TO MEDINA
Wives and QuOndam Husbands Make
Mess of 1t and Are Disgraced
In Public

Two couples stopped at the Amer
ican House in Medina Tuesday even
ing and secured rooms for the night.
They registered as husbands and
wives as from Cleveland, and We're
given the best in the house.
At supper both men and women
were very happy and seemed to be
enjoying their little outing greatly.
The lack of metropolitan conveniences
did not seem to disturb them, and no
complaints were made for lack of
better accommodations. The men-one
especially-Were very anxious to
make all acquainted with their names
and occupations. Everything was Sc
rene, with no indications of coming
storm. ss -'..
H Wednesday. morning things were
different; two outraged husbands ap.
peared upon the scene and began &
verbal barrage, the women in the
case crying and the men trying tt
invent excuses.
After a profusion of undignifet
language it was agreed there was tt
be no bloodshed, bills We're paid ant
the party packed up and left the
hotel and the town.
The real husbands were evidently
ashamed Of their wives, for they per
mitted-or perhaps they insisted-the
women leave the hotel with the
quondam husbands, and did not "for.
give and forget" till some little time
thereafter.
No blame can be attached to the
landlord for the misuse of his conf
dence, for it is impracticable for him
to insist that people carry mar
riage certificate with them.

SPENCER LAD VICTIM
OF CARELESS DRIVING
STRUCK BY MACHINE AS HE
ALIGHTS FROM KID WAGON
Woman Driver of Machine Speeds
Away.-Lad Dies on Operating
Table at Elyria

A pail was cast over the village of
Spencer last week Friday when it be-
came known that Harold, the 8 year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey
Browand had been struck by an auto
and instantly killed the evening be-
fore as he was about to aight from
kid wagon in front of the Browand
home.
The lad had been attending school
at Spencer and as usual was making
the return trip to his home one mile
from the center, Thursday evening
in the kid wagon which is run by the
board Of education. As the wagon ar
rived in front of the Browand resi-
dence the driver drew his team to
one side Of the road and stopped to
allow Harold to alght. Just as he
stepped from the wagon an auto
driven by a woman sped past, struck
the lad squarely and threw him sew
eral feet. Medical assistance was
Immediately summoned and the un-
conscious boy hurried to the Elyria
hospital where an operation was at
tempted in an effort to save his life.
Barely had the surgeons started in on
their task, however, when the lads
spirit passed to the great beyond.
Death was due to a fractured skull.
The woman driving the machine did
not slacken her pace after striking
the lad, but it was stated Thursday
that her identity would be revealed
shortly, although the parents of the
dead boy are loathe to take any ac-
tion.
Harold Edwin Browand was born
Feb. 2, 1911, and thus was 8 years,
seven months and three days Of age.
He was dutiful child in his home
and school and was intelligent be-
yond his years. His passing will cast
a shadow over his schoolmates and
leave vacancy in the hearts of his
parents and friends. While his death
was the result Of an accident and hap
pened outside the village limits, il
was due to criminal carelessnes. -
Funeral services were held from. the
home on Sunday afternoon and were
attended by a large number OF
friends and relatives.
