The program for this seasons
Chautauqua C has been well selected
and will be replete with interest to
both old and young. The lectures are
promised to be of excellent quality,
the musical entertainments by high
class talent, and an abundance of fun
may be expected from such attrac-
tions as Pamahasika's Pets, for the
little folk, and the comedy, "It Pays to
Advertise" for children of larger
growth"
A feature of the program which
should possess a special appeal to Me-
dina people, is the lecture to be de-
livered on Sunday evening by Adrian
M. Newens, former resident of Me
dina, who has achieved fame and
popularity on Chautauqua platforms.
Parents are urged to see that their
children attend the daily hour of en-
tertainment set apart for them, and
which is instructive as well.
Beginning this morning the tick
ct sellers will circulate "free-lance"
throughout the village, and those who
have not already purchased tickets
will be given final opportunity to rem
der tangible reinsurance to the gener-
our-hearted sponsors of the Medina

SIX INJURED IN
CRASH NEAR LODI
THREE IN HOSPITAL
IN CRITICAL CONDITION
C. s. & c. Car Strikes Auto Party on
Crossing. g.-Tho Derailed and Ditch
ed, None Of Eighteen Passengers
Was Injured.

Six persons were injured, three serf-
ously, and all narrowly escaped death,
when the auto in which they were rid
ing was struck by northbound Cleve-
land and Southwestern car on cross
ing a mile southwest Of Lodi, Sunday
evening at 5 o'clock. The three whose
injuries are the most serious were
taken to the hospital at Lodi. They
are: Mrs. Harry Scranton and daugh-
ter Esther Of Lodi and Steve partition
sof Cleveland.
The party consisted of Clinton
Scranton, his son Harry, wife and two
daughters of Lodi, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Steve partition Of Cleveland. They had
visited the partition farm in Harris
vile township and were returning
when the accident happened. County
Commissioner Richard Albert, who is
brother Of Mrs. Clinton Scranton,
1 the latter of whom is visiting in
Michigan, was an eyewitness of the
accident and describes it as follows:
MY family and myself were seated
on our porch at the time, only few
rods distance from the crossing. We
saw the auto approaching, also the in
terurban car. The former was running
slowly, the car about fifty miles an
hour, should say. It seemed that
each was in view Of the other, altho
wondered that the auto was being
driven SO slowly, under the circum-
stances.
"As the front wheels of the auto
were on the track the car struck them
turning the latter in such a position
that the car also swiped the auto from
behind, and lifted it into the air. The
impact derailed the railroad car, the
front wheels leaving the track on one
side, the rear wheels on the other. The
car ran along the ties for some dis.
tance, cut off two trolly poles and fin.
ally landed headlong down twelve.
foot embankment, but without turn
ing over, however. There were efgh
teen passengers, none Of whom was
seriously injured.
Mrs. Harry Scranton sustained sew
eral broken ribs, besides other minol
injuries; Miss Esther Scranton q, bro
ken collar bone and wrist, and Mr.
Steve partition a broken nose and col
lar bone, also several bad cuts ant
bruises about the head and face.
The injured ones were carried to TIL,
home Of Commissioners Albert arit
given first aid by two physicians, on,
Of whom was on the interurban car a
the time Of the accident, the other ,
resident of Columbus but who wa,
visiting relatives near by, following
which the unfortunate ones were con
! veyed to the hospital. The other mem
bers of the party sustained only Sigh
injuries.
1t seems almost miraculous that tn,
accident did not result fatally, at leas
to Mrs. Scranton and her daughter
as they were pinned under the wreck
age of the auto, and it was with som,
difficulty they were extricated.
No one with whom the writer ha
Il conversed on the subject has felt jus
titled in directly placing the restoon
sibility for the accident. Mr.. Alber
says he cannot state whether or no
the car whistle was blown, as he see
and hears the passing cars SO fire
quently that they do not attract hi
special attention.

MADE SAUSAGE OF HORSE

A horse belonging to Orlo Johnson
was Instantly killed and its body lit
terally torn to pieces Monday morn
ing when it was struck by the north
bound B. and 0. passenger train at
the Lafayette Road crossing. The
horse was on the track headed toward
the station at a slow pace when tile
train approached, and made no effort
to get out of the way other than to
increase Its speed along the track. In
stead of being tossed to one side the
animal was ground underneath the
train, the sand-box Of the engine be-
ing forced off BY the contact.
