MAKE TRIP TO FLORIDA
in SEVEN AND HALF DAYS

Ernest H. Hanshue and Paul Flick
niger left Medina ten days ago for q
trip to Florida by auto. They went
wa washington and used the Lincoln
Highway for many miles. Young
Hanshue is the son of S. C. Hanshue.
OF the N. Court street garage.
1t took IN days to make the trim
from Medina to Jacksonsville. Fla.
They travelled 2140 miles, consumed
II gallons of gasoline and 6 gallons
OF lubricant. They drove model 90
Overland car, and when they left Me-
dina were driving one old tire; they
changed tires three times; had no
auto troubles of any kind.
Letters from the young men show
that they are having the time of their
lives and that they are highly pleased
with the trip. They expect to spend
the winter in Florida and after a
short time about Jacksonville settle
down for the winter at Lakeland.
Fla: Naturally, as the young men
made the trip for a good time their
Medina friends and relatives are
greatly pleased that they are enjoy
ing themselves so we'll.

MESSRS. GIBBS REBUILD
SOUTH COURT ST. GARAGE

Several weeks ago the Sentinel
chronicled the fact that Messrs.
Gibbs, of Brunswick, had purchased
the old garage building at the corner
of S. Court street and Smith road,
taken possession as landlords, and
were planning to rebuild the struc-
ture or erect additions that would
amount to the same thing.
This story was denied by those who
made claims of being interested in
the deal. But Monday of this week
men began to eXcavate at the north
west corner of the lot, and the prom
Use is now made that large addi-
ton will be built and that the old
part of the structure will be greatly
improved and many conveniences in
stalled. The garage part will have its
entrance on E. Smith road while q
salesroom for the Oldsmobile and
Oakland autos, will occupy part of
the building with a new entrance on
S. Court street.
Edward C. Gibbs is in charge of the
work and says as soon as the building
is completed he and his father expect
to locate here. There will be two en-
frances to the building, one on Smith
road and another on S. Court street.
Two cement fronts are to be built and
the remodleded building given an i'm
posing appearance. This corner is to
be made busy mart in Medina.

FOLDING HIS TENT
and STEALING AWAY
WEATHER CONDITIONS HALT
N. COURT STREET WORK
Push of the Last Few Weeks Would
Have Completed Improvement
in Good Time.

The contractor on N. Court street
has "folded his tent" and is planning
to Silently steal away" This will
leave the street as it now is.
No one who has in even a desultory
manner followed the improvement on
this street will be surprised at this
move. This was to be expected, and
but for the Sentinel work would have
been stopped several weeks ago. 1t
was simply that certain people and
interests didn't like the light to shine
upon them, and the Sentinel having
turned the calcium rays of public at
tention to the dilly-dallying methods
Of the past, it was newborn desire
to "make show" so to speak.
Contractor Kellogg has made con-
scientious effort for the past few
weeks. The same effort three months
earlier in the season would have COM
pleted the improvement.
The Southwestern railway has done
good work since the company officials
became awake to the fact that the
people of Medina, while they had
been patient for many months, might
stretch their limbs, shake off their
sloth, and "tear things" in disgust.
The same good work as of the past
few weeks would have made possible
the completion of N. Court street
"without peradventure of doubt"
Primarily, then, the present condition
of the street is chargeable to the
Southwestern railway; secondarily,
Contractor Kellogg comes in for criti-
cism.
The Medina public can rest assured
that with the "return Of the robins"
there will come a return Of the prod
that will stir both railway and con-
tractor. And with new Council, and
it is hoped a 1920 brand of fearless
ness, N. Court street shall be COM
pleted in the shortest possible time
necessary under weather conditions
prevailing in the sprng.

BRUNSWICK MANS SCALES
WEIGH SHORT; FINED

Harley Kellar, of Brunswick, was
arrested on Tuesday of this week on
warrant sworn to by the prosecut-
ing attorney and charged with having
in his possession a scale which reg
istered short weight. His hearing was
had before Justice of the Peace Aims
worth on Wednesday morning, when
Kellar plead guilty to the charge and
was fined $25 and costs.
According to reports of the affair
gathered from various county officials
Kellar was caught red-handed last
summer with scale which had a
leaden weight attached to the beam in
such manner that it weighed sew
eral pounds short. Kellar had been
engaged in buying livestock of var
ious kinds and several who were
short-weighed brought the matter to
the attention of the county sealer Of
weights and measures. He went 70
Brunswick and removed the slug.
Kellar denied that it had been his in
tention to defraud and claimed that
the slug was necessary to make the
scale weigh accurately. This was
not the case, however, as the dealer
of weighs and measures very prop
erly confscated the pellet.
Very likely nothing would have
come of the matter had not number
of persons who felt they had been
short-weighed by Kellar interested
themselves in the matter which cul-
minated in the fining of Kellar as
stated above

HAS FACE BADLY CUT
IN LOADING ACCIDENT

Howard Ryan was severely injured
Monday morning while aiding Robert
Harding to load car of baled hav
at the B. e. 0. Ry. yards on W.
Liberty street. His lip and left cheek
were badly cut, Ryan was knocked
unconscious and at the time it was
feared he was seriously hurt. He was
rushed to the Office of DR.. Robinson.
but when he arrived there had re-
covered consciousness. ~
Harding and Ryan were loading a
car of baled hay. Harding had pulled
his load past the door of the car and
to move the wagon back it became
necessary to hitch to the rear of the
wagon. Ryan was given the tongue to
steer the load. Instead of holding the
tongue in his hands he placed it un-
der his arm. When the wheel stuck
IN a rut the tongue threw Ryan is
or 70 feet, and when he landed he was
knocked senseless.
DR., Robinson dressed his wounds
and the patient is recovering nicely.

VIM. CORNISH LOSES SUIT
IN COMMON PLEAS COURT

Court was in session Friday when
the case of VIM. Cornish VS.. Mary
Newcomer, administrator of the es-
tate of Elmer Whistler, was tried be-
fore jury.
According to the petition filed by
Cornish he had cared for Elmer
Whistler, deceased, formerly of
Brunswick, doing his washing, cook
ing, etc., and filed claim for $158
with the administrator Of the Whist
ler estate, Mary Newcomer. The pc
tition further charged that the ad-
ministrator will neither disallow or
allow the claims. An amended pc
tition, however, stated that the ad-
ministrator would not allow the
claim, hence the suit.
The twelve men who listened to
the evidence as submitted last Friday
did not take long in reaching a ver-
dict for the defendant, and against
defendant.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
SHOOTING OF SHEEP
E. c. BLAKESLEE HAS
AN EVEN DOZEN INJURED
Sheriff Finds No Trace of Miscreants
Who Evidently Harbor a
Grudge.

Sheriff Bigelow was summoned to
the p. c. Blakeslee farm on Wey-
mouth road last Friday morning to
unravel mystery which up to the
present time has admitted of no So
iutlon.the mystery being the shoot
ing OF an even dozen of Blakeslee's
lambs. All of the shots took effect
between the lambs knees and their
front shoulders, being in almost the
same identical spot on each animal.
According to Blakeslee it has been
his habit to feed his lambs and sheen
every morning. When the animals
were fed Thursday morning everv-
thlng was lovely. On Friday morning
IL of the number failed to come un
from the back of the field. Search re-
veaied them way back in the lot, each
sui1erlng from a bullet wound. A
veterinary was summoned and closer
inspection brought out that the wound
on each animal was in nearly the
same ,place-between the front knee
and shoulder, which lead some to adj
vance the theory that the marksman
whoever ne was, was trying to reach
the ANNALS hearts. No bullets were
found, but authorities believe the in
}ury was caused by 22-calibre bull
The sheriff and deputy made 2
careful search of the pasture and sur
rounding fields, but were unable 70
locate the slightest clew, not even an
empty she'll being found.
Blakeslee knows of no one who
would be guilty of such a dastardlv
CRIME and attaches not the slightest
suspicion to anyone. All the lamhs
will probably recover. ''''''

SHERIFFS RAID BRINGS NO
EVIDENCE OF STILL

Sheriff Bigelow and Deputy Sheriff
Hange went to Litchfeld on Monday
of this week following a tip they re-
ceived from authorities in Lorain
county that certain foreigners were
operating one OF more whisky stills.
The tip followed the apprehension
of two Lorain county men who i'm
bibed too much of the fluid while on
a hunting trip, and who claimed that
they obtained it in Litchfield.
A search of the premises under
suspicion, however, failed to reveal
any trace Of liquor or of still be-
ing operated, and local officials are
now inclined to doubt the story of the
hunters as to where they obtained
their drink with the kick.

AUTOS SMASH HEAD.ON -
AT COURT HOUSE CORNER

The Court House corner of the
Square was the scene of an auto ac-
cident Wednesday at $3.50 o. m. At
that hour Edgar Edward Keller, of
Wadsworth, was driving east through
the Square while C. P. Creager, of
Chippewa Lake, was driving north.
Just as the center of E. Liberty
street was reached the car of Creager
struck the rear fender of Keller's car,
wrecking the fender and turning the
car around and driving it across the
west sidewalk and on the grass plot
by the side Of the Princess theater.
There was little damage done to
Keller's car aside from the broken
fender, but Creager's front fender
was wrecked and the frame work
over the engine broken, the axle
twisted and cuts made in the wood
work of the right wheel.
Keller blamed Creager and said he
had the right Of way. While Creager's
car was more seriously damaged his

JACOB SMITH is HIT
BY CLEVELAND LIMITED

Jacob Smith, Beebetown blacksmith
was hit by the Southwestern limited
going north, due out of Medina at 8
a. m., at the crossing at the pumping
station Wednesday morning. Ma
chinery standing near the tracks shut
off his view Of the crossing, and his
car was struck and demolished while
he was thrown a considerable dis
tance afield. Parts of the auto were
carried some distance up the track.
Smith was quite severely hurt. A
physician on the car ordered him car
ried home and reported no bones as
broken. The family physician was
called to attend him-Dr. Appleby-
and he found Smith suffering from
severe conclusion and bruises. The
crossing has been under inspection
from State examiners several times
following similar accidents but for
some reason no gate has been ordered
erected. The view here is greatly OBJ
structed to the north, but towards the
south there is a fair view except
when some obstruction is left stand
ing on the switch or by the tracks.

DRIVING FOR, FUNDS:
FIGHT White PLAGUE
POSSIBLE TO STOP 1T
BY INTELLIGENT EFFORT
Money Needed to Make Winning
Fight-Race Must Save Self
From This Great Evil

The drive for funds with which to
combat tuberculosis in Ohio in par
ticular and the U. S. in general is
now on; it began in Medina Monday.
AS this is one of the most humane ef-
forts ever undertaken by the human
race, and as it promises wonderful re-
suits for the whole family, it be-
hooves us all to consider well before
we turn the proposition down, and
before we dismiss solicitors lightly or
with light contribution.
It is true that calls for public Civ
ing have been many within the past
few years, and that some of Medi-
mas citizens have given until it has
hurt; but that in no way excuses one
from ignoring this great opportunity.
tuberculosis is one Of the greatest
evils that threatens the race. Its in
sidious character makes it hard to To-
cate in the mind of the one who suf-
fers, and in consequence makes it
hard to fight. Many things are being
done to combat it, many more new
devices need to be tried, many who
are willing to join in it's eradication
from self must be helped with money
for they have not the means to aid
themselves.
Whole tribes Of healthy Indians
were carried off within a few genera
tions when once this dread malady
had gained foot-hold, the Red Men
not having the means and knowledge
with which to make a winning fight.
In this day we have means for a
fight, what is now necessary is the
money with which to wage the COM
bat. 1t will take several generations
to fight the evil to a finish; Just about
as many generations to make a win
ming fight as community would last
If no effort was put forth to combat
the evil.
The end to be obtained makes the
fight worth while at this time. While
it will cost thousands to win, it won't
cost half as much when the great
waste is counted as it will to let
things go and in the end lose the hat.
TIE. The cost, too, to the individual
will be small if all chip in SO that an
intelligent and concerted battle can ~
fought Give when the solicitors ask
you, and give to the full extent of
your means.

LEGISLATURE MEETS TO
FIND SOMETHING TAXABLE

The Ohio Legislature is now in ses-
sion. Financial matters are pressing
heavily in many sections over the
State and an effort will be made to
find means of raising the wind" In
these days little time is spent in a
search for an opportunity to retrench,
but statesmen will sit up all night to
seek out some way of adding addi-
tional burden and in a way so that
an over burdened public will find it
impossible to evade the added load.
