BONDS STILL MISSING;
LOSS NOT MADE GOOD

The $500 worth of Liberty bonds
belonging to the Old Phoenix National
Bank as part of it's surety as de-
pository of county funds, which were
found missing some time ago from the
safety deposit box in the Medina
County National Bank where the sure
ties of all the county depository banks
are kept, have not yet been found,
neither has the loss been made good
to the Old Phoenix Bank.
The County Commissioners spent a
greater part of last week in going
through large number of bales of
waste paper at the Medina County
National Bank, thinking that the lost
bonds might have disappeared this
way, but their efforts were unreward-
ed.
The three year period for which the
various banks of the county became
repositories expired on Tuesday of
this week. Bids for another like period
will be received by the County Com
missioners next Tuesday, Sept. Ia.
It was currently rumored this week
that the Commissioners passed reso-
luton at their meeting Tuesday to
make an appropriation from county
funds covering the amount of the
lost bonds. An investigation of the
Commissioners journal Thursday af-
ternoon by the Sentinel, however, dis
closed no such record.

KIWANIS CLUB NOTES

Members of the Kiwanis club listen
ed to two interesting talks at their
luncheon last Friday, one by Mr.. III.
T. Thornburg of the State Health De-
partment, further mention of which
is made elsewhere in this paper, and
the other by Mr.. ]. E. Mason, assist
ant cashier of the Medina Savings and
Deposit Bank Co. The subject of Mr..
Mason's talk was the Financial Out
look for this FALL" in which the speak
er interpreted certain present condi-
tions as prophetic of continued pros
perity and commercial achievement.
In other words Mr.. Mason took the
optimistic view, which reminded Presi-
dent H. H. Root of Irwin Cobb's def
milton of the word "pessimist, de
rived from the two words, "pest" and
"mist",2 signifying a common nuis-.
ance that sees things thru fog.
There was no report from the COM
mittee on the proposed public comfort
station, and the Kiwanis picnic which
was scheduled for Thursday of this
week was called off.
| At the luncheon today there will be
fifty or more visitors from those at
tending the big beekeepers' meeting at
the A. l. Root Co., among whom will
be Cartoonist Donahey of the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer, who, by the way,
is bee enthusiast.

SALISBURY NAMED
STADIUM CHAIRMAN
MEDINA COUNTY
AGENT HONORED
Heads Medina Committee in Fund
Campaign for Largest Stadium in
the Country, Which Will Seat $4,000
People.

Schuyler Marsh Salisbury, Medina
county agricultural agent, has been
named chairman of the Medina county
committee for the Ohio Stadium cam
paign, according to an announcement
made this week by Samuel N. Sum
mer, chairman of the Ohio Stadium
Committee, Columbus, which is in
charge of the project. The campaign
will be launched in October by the
alumni, former students and friends
of Ohio State University, to raise a
fund of 81 100000 with which to build
the Ohio Stadium.
Mr.. Salisbury, who heads the Me
dina county committee, was graduated
from Ohio State University with the
class Of 1918. While in college he was
president Of the Agricultural society
and member of the Livestock and
Dairy Cattle Judging teams in 1912.
Mr.. Salisbury attended the North Car
olina Agricultural College for two
years after leaving Ohio State, and
was an assistant professor in the Ohio
State department Of animal husban-
dry up to the time he accepted his
present position.
The organization work for the
movement has been completed in all
of the counties of Ohio. District and
local committees have been formed
among the alumni and former stu
dents. Outside of Ohio, it is said the
Ohio societies in the principle cities
of the country will join with the vari-
GUS alumni associations to assist in
promoting the undertaking.
Undergraduates have pledged a
quota of 100000 to be raised on the
campus among themselves and profess
sors. The undergraduate committees
have been formed by counties. Virgil
Damon is chairman of the Medina
county committee. =
Plans completed for the Ohio Stadi-
um call for the finest structure of the
kind in the country. 1t will seat
63, 900 people, and will, it is declared,
eclipse in architectural beauty and
utilitarianism any stadium in the
country. 1t will stand at the head Of a
92-acTe plot along the banks Of the
Olentangy iiyer, given to the Univer-
sity by the Board Of Trustees, a few
years ago, for development as an
athletic and recreational field.

CENSUS GIVES MEDINA BIG
GAIN IN IT'S POPULATION

5000 persons, although many have
always placed the number at one or
two hundred less. .
4 According to the late census report
the village numbers 3,430 individuals,
an increase of 696 over the 1910 re-
port, and 1908 over the report of 1900.
In the taking of the census report
of Medina village for 1920, quite a
number Of persons claim that they
were missed by the enumerator. If
such is the case, which is not altogeth-
er unlikely, as similar complaints
have been made by Cleveland and other
cities, it is probable that Medina vii
lage can justly claim population Of
a round $500, or yearly gain of 63
2-5 persons per annum since 1900.
While most of the townships show
more or less of an increase in popula-
ton over previous periods, a few have
been steadily decreasing, as will be
observed by reference to the report be-
low:

readers this week a report Of the popu-
lation of Medina county and its civil
divisions, copy of which was sent to

SLAYER'S LIFE THEN SOUGHT
BY THE VICTIMS COMPANION
Both Are in Jail Awaiting Action Of Grand
Jury 80 Killing is elimination Of Several
Shooting Affairs in Which the Principles
in the Present Tragedy Were Involved.

The climax to a series OF ShoOtings
among Italians of Wadsworth cover
ing q period of six years, occurred in
sWadsworth Sunday afternoon about
/ O'Clock, when Frank Butto Of Ak
ron was shot and instantly killed
by DOminick Cacciola in front of the
lattef's barber shop on Water street
The weapon used was shotgun, the
charge entering Butto's back little
at the left Of the spine and penetrat-
ing the heart and lungs.
Cacciola, and Philip Simatio, But
to's companion, also from Akron, are
in the county Jail, the latter charged
with attempting to kill Cacciola. Both
were bound over to the grand jury
without bail by Mayor Boyer Of Wads-
worth.
According to Cacciola, Butto had re-
peatedly threatened his life and had
shot at him year ago last Decoration
Day. On Sunday, he says, observing
Butto and Simatio walking past the
barber shop and casting suspicious
glances within. Simatio went to the
rear door Of Cacciola's residence ad-
joining the shop and asked Mrs. Gao
ciola for drink Of water. While she
was after the water the shooting took
place, Immediately following which
Simatio is said to have shot four o.
five times at> Cacciola through the
window Of the shop, all shots going

ago. AT the time Butto contended That
Lenzo's brother, John, and Cacciols

had kidnapped Butto's niece, Antoin-
cite Arrego, who subsequently mar
ried Cacciola. A year or two later John
Lenzo was murdered, but the slayer
never was caught. At this time Frank
Butto was arrested in Cleveland charg-
ed with the killing, but was able to es-
tablish an alibi and was released with
out trial.
In May of 1915, Cacciola was tried
in the local courts for extortion of
money, but was acquitted. A short
time after, May 81, Cacciola was shot
four times on the main street of Wads-
worth by Sam Butto, brother of
Frank Butto. Every bullet took effect
and Cacciola remained in a critical
condition for many weeks. Butto ad-
mitted the shooting, giving as his rea-
son the fear that Cacciola might wed
his (Butto's) niece, the Arrego girl.
The, shooting happened early in the
morning while Cacciola was on his way
to work. Butto was convicted Of shoot
ing with intent to wound and was SEN
fenced to the Mansfield reformatory,
from which he was paroled about a
year ago.
To Prosecuting Attorney Jos. A.
Seymour, Cacciola manifests 4 no re-
morse for the killing Of Butt6, insist
ing that he was justified on the prin-
ciple Of self-protection.
