Joy RIDERS TAKEN
AT POINT OF GUN
GET WRONG MACHINE AT
CHIPPEWA LAKE PARK
Strange Man Is Needed Before Next
Monday to Save Two Men
From Serious Charge.

The appearance before Monday, of a
strange man is all that will save
Aloysius Seidl and Charles Mckenzie,
two Medina men, from being bound
over to the grand jury on a charge
OF operating an automobile without
the owners contest. The men were
apprehended at Leroy Sunday night
by G. V. Hanshue, when they stopped
at the Hanshue garage for repairs to
tire. Seidl has been employed lately
at the Kimmell garage, while McKen-
zle, a Scotchman, works for HAM
merschmidt & Clark.
When arraigned before Justice of
the Peace Ainsworth on Monday morn
ing the pair told a. story of how they
had missed the one o'clock car for
Chippewa Lake Sunday afternoon and
had started to walk there when thew
were overtaken and invited to ride by
stranger driving a Ford. The two
men accepted the invitation and arriv-
ing at the lake, wandered around to-
gether. Later in the afternoon, the
story goes, the stranger asked the two
men to take his car back to. the Han
shue garage at Medina, where he
would call for it, stating that he had
met a lady friend and had arranged
to accompany here home on the street
car. He, however, neglected to give
the men the key to his machine and
they were forced to use a penknife
blade on the car they were driving.
In some manner the wrong car was
selected, and unfortunately for them,
the couple decided to drive to Seville
and around by Leroy before taking
it To Medina.
In the meantime the owner of the
latter car, who was C. F. Bockhoff, of
Leroy, missed his machine and imme-
diately called up all neighboring
garages notifying them of his loss.
= AS the joy riders arrived at Leroy
tire blew and they stopped at the
Hanshue garage for repairs. Hanshue
noticed the numbers, drew a gun, and
locked the two men in his office until
the authorities arrived.
The men were arraigned Monday
and asked that hearing in the case
be postponed until Monday, stating an
effort would be made in the meantime
Ido locate the man, who requested a
favor, the granting Of which led them
to jail. ~
Pending hearing of their case the
mems bail was fixed at $500, each,
which has not been furnished.

HORSE RUNS into
auto and IS KILLED
Animal Staggers Half a Mile With
Jugular Vein Severed.

A valuable driving horse, belonging
to Paul Bachtell of near Lafayette,
was injured SO severely it had to be
killed when it crashed into an auto
driven by Albert Rumbaugh of Ak
ron last Sunday morning. The acci-
dent occurred about 2 a. M, at the
corner of South Elmwood street and
Lafayette Road.
The horse had been standing in
front of the Pelton barber shop on s.
Court street for some time, and be-
coming uneasy, slipped the bride and
started for home. 1t was hitched to
light buggy. The start was made
slow enough but as the animal pro-
gIessed down the town hill it's speed
increased, making the N. O. crossing
in about two jumps. Turning to the
right at Lafayette Road it crashed
into Ford driven by Albert Rum
baugh Of Akron, a former Homerville
township young man. The front
wheels of the buggy caught between
the light and front fender of the car,
which threw the horse against the
rear end of the auto, cutting a large
hole in the animals neck and severing
the jugular vein. The force of the
impact tore the buggy loose and the
animal ran as far as the Hoff farm,
where it was caught by Nightwatch-
man Hange, who lead it into an orch
ard and ended it's suffering with a
bullet.
The machine was damaged slightly,
the lights being broken and the rear
jammed in, but the driver was able to
return home without repairs. Two
other people besides the driver, were
in the car, none of whom were injured.

MAKE SHORT WORK OF
BOGUS SOLDIER SOLICITORS

Village authorities made short work
of four men, two of whom were
dressed in soldiers uniforms, who at
tempted to unload a number of books
on the public in Medina village last
Friday, with a plea that part of the
proceeds were to go to the boys "over
there"
The party came to Medina from Ak
ron and stated that they were making
a tour from New York to San Fran
cisco, selling twenty-five cent book,
the title of which was "Our Heroes" :"
An old Packard automobile was the
means of conveyance, and was camou-
f1aged with much paint, an American
flag on the rear, and a German helmet
on the radiator. The two men who
did the soliciting wore uniforms and
one member Of the party carried a
French uniform, which he stated was
being taken to Chicago at the request
of the owner. The story told was
that after the expenses Of the party
were paid together with the costs Of
books, the balance went to the soldiers
across the seas.
This tale looked too thin to local
authorities and the men were held up
for examination. One of the lads in
uniform produced final discharge
papers, but the other had nothing.
All four were ordered to appear next
morning, an attempt being made in
the meantime by local officials to get
in touch with federal authorities. No
satisfaction was obtained here, how
ever, and but three of the party
showed up as requested, the man with
out the discharge papers, taking
French leave some time during the
night.
As no affidavit had been made out
the three We're ordered out of town
and left Immediately in the direction
of Akron, from whence they came.

54 M. H. S. GRADUATES
RECEIVED "DIPS" LAST NIGHT

Fifty four men and women gradu-
ated from the Medina high school last
night, ending for a time at least, the
strenuous exactions of modern school
work. The names of the graduates
were given in our issue of June 9th.
The first of the weeks graduating
activities was the annual baccalaureate
sermon which was given last Sunday
evening at the Congregational church
by Rev. R. X. Caulk of st. Paul's
church. The address was worthy of
the occasion and the church was well
filled.
No comment can be made regarding
the commencement exercises given last
evening as the Sentinel went to press
earlier in the day. At this time no
change had been made from the pro-
gram given last week.
Tonight, Friday, the members of the
Alumni will hold a supper and reunion
in the Congregational church. Res
ervations have been made for about
los.
No one has been more interested in
a successful termination of the school
year than Supt Conkle, and to whom
no small degree of credit is to be
given.

WILL APPEAR ON
PRIMARY BALLOT
NAMES OF THOSE
WHO SEEK NOMINATION
Democrats in Medina Village File
No Petitions While Republicans
Have Skeleton Ticket.

Last Friday, June 13, was the final
day on which petitions could be pre-
sented to the board of elections for
places on the ballots at the primary
elections which will be held this year
on August IL, in the villages of Wads-
worth and Medina. These two towns
are the only places in Medina county
which will hold primary elections as
the law requires a population of 1000
or more. Voting is done in smaller
towns and townships by means of a
non-partisan ballot. But five names
are required on petition.
Republicans Of Medina held a eau
Gus on Wednesday evening of last
week, which was very poorly at
tended, while the democrats made no
selections at all, it being understood
that they would get together shortly
before the primaries and pick ticket
which would be written in. The re-
publicans who filed are Harry H. Hart
zog, for mayor; w. P. Ainsworth, for
clerk; F. l.. Harding, treasurer; F. w.
Eckert, marshal; Hobert Edwards and
L. w. Boyden, for members Of council,
and H. P. H. Robinson for member of
school board. Much pressure was ex-
erted upon o. I. Shaw to file his pc
tition for member of council, as he
has made very efficient official in
this capacity, but all efforts proved
unsuccessful. An attempt will be
made to have his name written in a
sufficient number of times at the pri-
mary to secure him place on the
ballot at the November elections.
In Wadsworth more interest was
manifest, both parties putting ticket
in the field as follows:

clerk, Carl Stouffer; treasurer, c. A.

BREAK TRACK RECORD
AT MATINEE MEET
Large Crowd Shows Much Interest
q. In Speedy Events.

About 200 spectators attended the
Wednesday afternoon matinee of the
Medina Driving club, at the fair
grounds this week and witnessed the
fastest mile that has ever been made
on the track. It was in the second
heat Of the first event that Little Jay,
owned by Laub of Akron and driven
by Bye Wilson of Medina, cut loose
and made the circuit in 2:11 flat.
Several watches caught him a hair
under the eleven mark. He was fol-
lowed by Jack M, driven by R. Nc
Vowel, who pushed him on the home
stretch until but an inch or two separ-
ated the horses as they went under the
wire.
The previous low mark for the Me-
dina track was 2:12A, which was
made several years ago at the county
fair by Miss Eagle, driven by Stokes.
Before this the record was 2:14.
Much satisfaction was expressed by
members of the club at the interest
manifest by the spectators who are
turning out in large numbers this year
at the race events No admission is
charged during the season, except on
July A, when a small gate fee is coll
lected to assist the club in keeping
the track in shape. An exceptionally
good program is being arranged for
this date this year and large crowd
is expected.
The results Wednesday were as fol-
lows:

Obituary-Mark L. Searle
Contributed

The story of the life and service
and death of Mark L. Searle is but
brief and without especial eminence
of consequence. Yet it is beautiful
made beautiful by the abundance of
it's accomplishment in the too short
period of it's building that was posi-
BILE. The foundation was firm, each
stone cemented to it's fellow by pru-
dence, virtue and worth. The super
structure was that of young man
possessed of the elements for strength
of character, ambition for right, de-
sire for justice to others and remark
able personal unselfishness that
marked him in pre-eminently as a
follower of the new commandment,
loving his neighbor as himself"
He was untained by vice, ambitious
to excel In those excellencies which
made man good rather than grand.
Noble rather than great; his entire
life was marked by humility of spirit,
cheerfulness of demeanor and will
ingness Of purpose, scattering per-
petual sunshine round and about him.

A Musical Treat

At the evening service in the Meth
odist church next Sunday, April 81,
at O'Clock, an octet of the Students
Club will render an anthem entitled
MARY Magdalene." This was sung at
the recent annual meeting or the club
and evoked such an encomium that
a request was made that it be re-
peated before a larger audience, so
that the public might be privileged
to. enjoy it also. The octet acceded
to the request. The names of the
ladies comprising the octet, Mes
danes Morrison, Sylvander, Geenty
Jones, Hancock, Markley, Trip and
Witwer, are a sufficient guarantee Of
the quality and character of the
music.

tive body of men. The sermon was
on ""The Message of the Easter An
gels" At the close Miss Witwer sang
ETERNITY" which was listened to
with almost breathless attention.
At 1900 noon there was a gath
ering of Sunday school scholars that
filled the church, so that the classes
we're really crowded. The attend
ance was a record one-over 200 in
all. The exercises were good and
thoroughly appreciated. Under the
superintendent of Mrs. w. H. Ma
hattie the little tots sang and acted
a piece of her own composition and
then eggs made of candy were dis
tributed with little chicks" in the
bargain. Chocolates were given to
the adult classes and everybody was
pleased.
A Sunday school program was Civ
en- at the evening service and was one
of much excellence. The church was
crowded to capacity, chairs were in
the aisles, scores of persons stood in
all available places, while conser-
vative estimate gives over 100 people
who remained outside sitting in autos
or standing on the side walk unable
to gain admittance. A great many
others came and went away for lack
Of accommodation. Children's en-
tertainments are always popular"
and their efforts drew record
crowd" last Sabbath evening. All
the numbers were we'll rendered and
the scholars covered themselves
with glory" A quartet by Misses
Mildred Adams and Emma Garberick
and Allan Dripps and Cameron Hope
was specially fine and sung with good
expression.
A chorus of 20 men from the Cold
en- Sheaf Lodge of Masons added
greatly to the enjoyment of the eve
ming by their redition Of Nearer,
my God to Thee" and 1.-THE Holy
City," illustrated with lantern slides.
Philip Jordan sang two verses Of the
latter as solo which pleased every
one.
Next to the closing exercise we're
27 pictures thrown on the curtain
which gave the lifesof Christ from
the annunciation to the ascension as
conceived and painted by Hoffman,
the greatest German painter of the
last century. The machine was man
ipulated by Harry Adams, and R. M.
Adams, who presided, explained each
nict11ra tn the edification and delight
of all present. It was full of inform
alton and greatly benefited the gath
ering. The orchestra added much
to the inspiration of the program and
is being appreciated to the full from
Sabbath to Sabbath.
The offerings for the day were
large. In the morning they were up
wards Of $4,000 and in the evening
over $14.0O.

A Great Day
(Contributed.)

Easter Sunday was a great day at
First Methodist church. It began
with an early Epworth League meet
ing, led by the president, Miss Hazel
Witwer, and attended by from 20 to
80 young people.
The service at 1890 was one of
great inspiration and power. The
music was beautiful and the choir
excelled itself. The auditorium was
filled, with an overflow in the annex.
Bethel Commandery in full uniform,
accompanied by goodly number of
the members of Golden Sheaf mas
onic lodge, occupied the center pews
and we're the guests of the church.

loved by old and young. His church
life was useful and consistent, an
efficient, willing and active member
of the choir and a regular and con-
scientious member of it's Sunday
school. That he did not fear death is,
evidenced by this fact, aware of the
invitable, his last day on earth was
his happiest day on earth and he met
the "Great Conqueror" with a sweet
and winning smile.
