Saturday charged with taking several
articles from the home of Mrs. VIM.

closed several sheets which Mrs. Hy-
man identified as her property, while
tea cup and empty sugar sack were
found in the yard. The pattern on the
cup corresponded with set owned
by Mrs. Hyman.

was brought to Medina, where he had
d hearing before Justice Of the Peace
Cannon. He waived examination and

sens court under bond of $500.

ticles to Mrs. Hyman, plead guilty to

ter, Mrs. Mildred Aldrich, was born.

ELECTION CANDIDATES
SPEND NO MONEY

Judging from the number of elec-
tion expense accounts filed with the
clerk of the board of elections, George
Shane, the candidates in the recent
primary held at Medina and Wads-
worth did not spend much. But one
return has been received and that from
c. A. Curtice, of Wadsworth, who de-
clares he spent nothing. The remand
er have so far failed to take any no
tice of the law which requires all
candidates to file an expense account
with the clerk of the board of cleo
tions within ten days after the cleo
tion. This time expired at midnight
last Friday.
1t may be well at this time, also, to
call the attention of all candidates of
the county who wish their names to
appear on the November election bal
lot, that their petitions must be re-
ceived by the clerk on or before Sept.
5. The law is mandatory in this re-
spect and those failing to get their
petitions in on time will forego the
pleasure of seeing their name in print
in November.

SAYS RECORDER RICE

County Recorder C. S. Rice was
home Thursday after spending a day
loking over the county agricultural
exhibits at the Ohio State fair.
Mr.. Rice claims that this is the best
fair he has ever seen and he has seen
few. Previous to his entering the
recorders Office, Mr.. Rice had charge
of Medina county's exhibit each year
and showed at Columbus for thirteen
consecutive years. In 1916 Medina
county stood eighth, but since that
time she has not been represented.
1t is Mr.. Rice's intention to take up
this work again next year and he was
in Columbus this week getting a line
on the various displays.

won first prize of $500 for best coun-
ty display; I. Lawrence, of Coshoc-
ton, won $40 for second; Mr.. Wild
man, of Clark county won $3.50 as
third prize; Hilas Craig, of Franklin

SMASHES MACHINE AND
is FINED $40 BESIDES

That the law knows no mercy was
made evident on Monday when Louis
Coyle was fined $40 and costs for
reckless driving. This was on top of
a huge bill for damages which Louis
will receive as soon as his car is re-
paired.
1t seems that Coyle and three or
four Medina friends attempted to
burn up South Court street last Fri
day evening when the formers Cad
lilac crashed into a telephone pole,
badly smashing the machine and put
ting one of the village street lights
out OF commission.
Monday the driver was arrested by
officer Hange and when arraigned be-
fore Justice of the Peace Ainsworth,
plead guilty to charge of reckless
driving and was fined $40 and costs.
None of the occupants of the ma
chine was injured, but Louis repair
bill will run to figure considerably
higher than his fine.

STEALS WIFE, FACES

YORK MAN CHARGED
WITH SERIOUS OFFENSE
Albert G. Bishop Claims Wife Was
Lured' Away Two Weeks After
Marriage.

What will undoubtedly be an inter.
estlng, as we'll as hard fought case
was an action for money only filed il

bert G. Bishop, of Elyria, against
Max Whacker, of York township, in
which bishop seeks $4,000 damages
for the loss of his wife, Flora A. Bis.
hop.
The bishops were married on Aug
70, 1918, and according to plaintiff s
petition Whacker Immediately began
systematic campaign which culmi-
mated on Oct. 10, when the wife left
her home and husband.
The second cause for the action re-
suits from the fact that since that
date Whacker has harbored and lived
with Mrs. Bishop, much to the
shame of her husband.
"A search Of the records reveals the
fact that Whacker was once married
and is the father of four children. His
wife obtained a divorce through the
courts OF this county on July Ia, 1918,
and was granted custody of the four
children.
In the divorce petition filed at that
time Whacker was charged with gross
neglect OF duty. Another charge was
that he subjected his wife to excess
sive sexual intercourse. In granting
the divorce the judges entry upheld
these allegations.
Bishop, while residing at Elyria, is
a York township boy, being the eldest
son Of Henry Bishop.

SKIPS TO CANADA

Ford johnson, who was named de-

Chicago. Feb. 1S.-Thirty gold
stripe heroes" who organized into a
minstrel band, found their first show
such a success that today they are re-
ceiving offers of bookings for out-of-
town performances. Neary every one
of the minstrel troupe is an exemplifi-
cation of the wonders of modern sur
gerry. Sergeant Leonard n. Vannello,
the interlocutor, has nine bullet
wounds thru his body, but can sit
straight in a chair. Roy Little. a
professional dancer before enlistment,
qualities in a society dance act altho
paralyzed on one side.
Corporal Howard Baird is not pre-
vented from doing a monologue by a
machine bullet still lodged in his
thigh, in addition to another wound,
while two wounds did not interfere
with Bert Zahn doing a chalk talk
Sergt- Norman L. Glozier plays the
violin as well as before the back of his
head was fairly blown away, to con-
ceaI which he wears his overseas cap.
Others of the company are pointed to
as equally remarkable instances of
skill in surgical reconstruction.
