PEACH CROP NOT
TOTALLY DESTROYED

Fears were entertained Saturday
that the peach crop in Medina county
and other parts of the state had been
ruined, by the freeze last Thursday
night. Reports sent out from the
Ohio experiment station at Wooster,
however, state that while considerable
damage was done, the crop will make
a fair showing at harvest time. Ex-
pertinent station records show that of
five per cent of the buds escaped frost
a nomal peach crop will result.
Cherry blossoms seem to be alive,
and apples and berries suffered little
if any damage. Plum trees were very
hard hit.
Some wheat may have been nipped
but the most of it had not reached its
second joint in growth and will come
out we'll.
The heaviest loss in this section was
experienced by farmers who had sown
high priced clover seed. Here the
freeze got in it's work and as a result
much will have to be replanted if a
good stand is desired.

"Wheyos'' Beat Victim,
With Base ball Bat

Eight members Of "the Washington
Street Wheyos," so described by their
leader, chased an unidentified negro
six blocks last night, knocked him
down and robbed him in front of the
Customs House, and then beat four
white men who attempted to interfere.
They were finally routed by several
sailors, who wrested from the chief of
the gang the baseball bat that he was
welding as a mace of office and used
it on his followers.
The negro's offense was not taking
to the middle of the street when he
saw the "Wehyos" coming. He in
sisted that he had a right to walk
on the sidewalk of Washington Street,
despite the assertions of the gangsters
that he hadn't. After a brief argu-
nent the gang leader hit him a
mighty blow on the head with the
baseball bat and the smitten one ran
south with the eight in pursuit.
Several women and children were
knocked down and trampled during the
chase Someone blew police whistle
but the gang leader shouted, Were
the Washington Street Wheyos and the
cops dassent bother u.s." And the COPS
didn't.
In front of the Customs House the
fugitive was oyertaken and was hit on
