HUFFMAN IS FINED
$1,000 AND COSTS
FRIENDS OF MR.. ABRAMS
ARE MADE VERY SORE
Ohio Statutes Seem To Contemplate e
Drastic Punishment for Such
Show of Temper.

The case of Earl Huffman, charged
with assault and battery, was called
in Squire Ainsworth's court Friday
morning. The complainant was L.
Abrams, who was attacked in his own
store by Huffman about noon Thurs
day.
Huffman plead guilty to the charge
and was fined $40 and costs. This
was paid and Huffman set free.
Sentinel readers will remember
that Mr.. Abrams charged that Huff
man had attempted a similar dis
turbance several times before, and at
one time the disturbance had been so
violent that he, Abrams. had sworn
out warrant and only desisted from
having it served through the interven-
ton of Huffman's friends. In the
face of these facts a fine of $40 and
costs was assessed and the assailant,
SO confessed, set free. The statute
says:
Sec. 12423. "Whoever unlawfully
assaults or threatens another in a
menacing manner, or unlawfully
strikes or wounds another, shall be
fined not more than two hundred dol
lars or imprisoned not more than six
months, or both"
The attention of local jurist was
called to the verdict, and he laugh
ingly said: abrams charges that
Huffman bit him on the forehead, and
there is a severe wound, which it is
easy to see was inflicted by double
set of teeth. The case looks bad on
the surface. Just read this statute:"
Sec. 12416. "Whoever, with ma
licious intent to main or disfigure,
cuts, bites or Sits the nose, ear or
lip, cuts out or disables the tongue,
puts out or destroys an eye, cuts off
or disables a limb or member, OF
another, or throws or pours upon or
throws at another scalding water, or
assaults another with dangerous in
strument. shall be imprisoned in the
penitentiary not less than three years
no more than thirty years"
"The bite over the eye may be just
high enough to leave means of es-
cape in this case" was the expression
of several, "but there was sure an in
tent to wound on the part of Mr..
Abrams assailant. Evidently the man
who did the biting was skating on thin
ice."

COUNCIL STILL AFTER
A GERMAN CANNON

A member of council who was in
Akron recently called on Representa-
tive Martin L. Davey with view to
ascertaining what chance Medina viii
lage has of securing a German can
non to place on the park. This was
in pursuant to resolution passed by
council at meeting several months
ago.
Mr.. Davey, while making no definite
promises, agreed that he would do
everything in his power to see that
the village gets what it wants in this
matter.

MOTHER MILK RAISE

Medina county milk producers>were
granted two cents a gallon raise this
month for their milk by the Telling
Belle Vernon Co., of Cleveland, in an
announcement made public last Fri
day. The company also announces a
one cent raise to city consumers.
Clevelanders now pay 10 and 16 cents
respectively for pint and a quart.
This two cent raise granted pro-
ducers raises the price received by
them to 36 cents gallon, which is
still two cents less than the fair price
list announced by the government
when the war was in full swing.

CARDS EXHIBIT TODAY
BY EDWIN J. POLLOCK

TNiiE trading Of Fcrdie Schupp to the
Cards for Frank Snyder is the first
Of what is believed to he series Of
trades in the National League in which
the Giants will figure prominently.
Rumor is strong in iicydlcr homes that
Frank Woodward. recently sent by the
Phils to the Cards. will become n mem
bcr OF the Stoncham society soon.
II is known fact that McGraw holds
Woodward in high regard. He believes
that with proper handling he will de-
velop into a great righthander. Right
now McGraw is in bad way for pitch E
ers and it is probable that this condition
has led to the circulation of the reports
that the Giants are about to be mixed
up in flock of trades.
One rumor had it that Tyler will be-
come Giant provided Davy Robertson
consents to play the Outfeld for the
Cubs. This was spiked when the Cubs
we're here.
Then the report arose that Alexander
would he the pitcher the Cubs wouln
send to the Giants. 1t is said tha'

absence from the mound. However

THE C-5 ESCAPES FROM

And destroyer is sent to bring il
Down.

And destroyer is sent to bring it
St. Johns, N. F., May 15.-The
United States navy dirigible C-5
which escaped from its moorings in
a gale here yesterday afternoon
droped into the sea about IS miles
of shore, according to radio mes
sage received tonight by the cru'is-
er Chicago from an unidentified
British Steamer.
Lieutenant Charles G. Little, of
Newburyport, Mss, who was given
charge of the Go after his crew had
been bundled off to bed aboard the
cruiser Chicago, was almost carried
away by the fugitive gas bag while
making a nervy attempt to deflate
it.
Seated in the Blimp's nacelle
when she broke away, he seized the
rip cord and gave tug which
shcud have opened the big envelope
and permitted the gas to escape, The
cord broke however, and Lieuten-
ant Little realizing he would be un-
able to bring the ship down, leap
ed out from a height of 25 feet !.
His only injury was a sprained an
kle.
The destroyer Edwards immedia-
tely set out in pursuit, with or
ders to bring the big gas bag
down with anti-aircraft artillery if
necessary Even if the Edwards is
able to rescue the "BTimp" before
some serious misfortune befalls
her, it probably will require some
time to repair the damage which
fill result from her fall into
tho ocean.
