EX-SHERIFF YOUNG
is OUT OF PRACTICE

One day last week Sheriff Bigelow
deputized Ex-Sheriff AL Young to
take lad to the Boys Industrial
School at Lancaster. 4 The boy was
Will Hurlebaus, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. Hurlebaus of West Friendship
street, who had been adjudged incor-
rigible.
Reaching Columbus AL discovered
that he would have to wait two or
more hours for an interurban car for
Lancaster. Thinking he might be
able to make quicker connection ov-
er steam railroad, he went into o
telephone booth to call up the station.
When he emerged the boy was gone.
AL made hurried search of the i'm
mediate locality, but saw nothing but
big buildings and strange faces. All
Of which may be attributed to the
years that AL has been aloof from
criminal surroundings, during which
his hand has doubtless lost its cunning.
LATER Young Hurlebaus return
ed to Medina on Monday, was seen by
number of acquaintances, but was
successful in eluding the officials.
( To friend he gave as his reason
for returning that he was short Of mon
ey and came to collect some from a
man who owed him. It is probable
that he was successful. as he had mon
ey when he appeared at the home Of
John Sprankle Tuesday night,
Shortly after Huriebaus left the
house, Sprankle's son, RUSSELL dis
appeared and neither boy has been
seen here since. Sprankle's father says
that he has reasons for believing that
! the boys went to Massillon, and he will
attempt to locate them. Al brother
of Spranlxle Is said to have stated that
Hurlebaus declared his intention q
leaving the state.

very comprehensive presentation Of
the principles of thrift will be given
in the schools beginning Jan. 1. This
is now compulsory by state law in all
public schools, but in connection with
the general orbservance of thrift week
throughout the county it will be doubly
effective.
1t was suggested at the County Min
isterial association, December meet
ing, that each pastor in the county
especially observe Sunday, Jan. 23,as
Thrift Sunday, preaching on some
| phase of the present economic prob
lens as they relate to Christianity.A AL
so that Sunday schools and Young
Peoples society consider some of the
fundamental points of such topic.
A number of merchants throughout
the county have taken up the idea Of
| Incorporating IHc IHTIIt Aued Week AA
to their commercial advertising and
window displays. The county commit
tee will have many interesting charts
and posters for use in such show-win-
dow trimming.
j, Tie coml ittee asked that all won,-
ems clubs Throughout the county con-
slider the possibility of a thrift pro-
; gram at their January meeting, pos
sibly taking up the family budget idea
| and it's use. There will be full mater
, ial for such program available by
Jan. /.
Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. groups
are planning an effective presenta-
7 ton of thrift at their regular meet
, ings in January or Thrift Week.

TRAIN HAS DIFFICULTY
in GETTING TO AKRON

The east-bound train on the Northern
Ohio had hard time in getting to
Akron on Wednesday night of last
week, and presented a rather misfit
appearance on it's arrival there.
Three engines, two Of them disabled,
one freight car, a caboose and a pas
senger car pulled into the rubber city
just four and one-half hours late,
bringing into the city many who had
set out in the afternoon for a little
shopping trip and who had to spend
the night in the city 4
The train had been hald up by Q
disabled freight train just west = of
Medina and the engine sent to relieve
the freight locomotive itself broke
down. Meanwhile hunger was making
itself felt with those aboard, including
the crew, and the passenger engineer
finally had the freight train switched
cut of the way, hooked up the cripples
and pulled out slowly for AkroN
AS the train rolled into Copley, a
passenger who was returning from
Medina was met by his daughter with
q supply of sandwiches, which were
shared with the other famished pas
sengers on the car.

THE RED CROSS ROLL
CALL STILL CALLING

The fourth Red Cross Roll Call
which was launched in November and
which it was hoped could be put across
within the prescribed time, tho still in
process is not meeting with the degree
of success anticipated by those who
have the campaign in charge.
Up to the present time about $500
has been collected from memberships
in Medina village, but there are a
number of families that have not been
solicited. Only four townships have
so far made returns. They are Bruns-
wick, ,Montville, Spencer and Lafayette.
Brunswick has not completed its can
vass, but has turned in what money
has been collected, something less
than $10O. Montville turned in about
$50, Spencer about $500, and Lafa-
yette about 500, the last three town.
ships named having completed their
work Thus less than $4,000 in cash
represents the result of the Red Cross
Roll Call in Medina county to date.
In an effort to bring the roll call to
prompt and successful close, Mr.. l..
H. Randall, chairman Of the County
Roll Call committee, makes the follow
ing final appeal to citizens generally:
"Most Of the men and women of Me-
dina lave responded generously and
promptly to the Red Cross fourth roll
call. But we are still behind our quo
ia by several hundred dollars. Some
have not been solicited, or have been
skipped in the general canvass made
and some have not given who ought
to give and who, it is hoped will give
"sThe Red Cross appeals to all in Me.
dina village who have not yet given
but who are willing to give to leave
their contributions at any Of the fol.
lowing places: w. j. Wallis, Sim.

'Let NO: any Of us shirk. The poor
and suffering of the world need every
dollar thatNcan be given"

FATHERS OF VILLAGE
MET TUESDAY NIGHT

The village council met in regular
session Tuesday night, and although
together until rather late, transacted
but little business.
The first two hours was devoted
to passing upon the usual monthly
bills, which were not very numerous.
F. o. Phillips represented the Sa-
ogi family in a complaint by the latter
that an open ditch on their premises
northeast of town is polluted by over
flow from the disposal plant. The
Sagolis offer to stand the cost of la
bor in correcting the condition if the
village will furnish tile. The matter
was referred to Supt. Fretter of the
water works for his recommendation.
A complaint from Chas. Wertz that
the condition of South Elmwood street
is such as to interfere with the driving
in and out with the Sargent & Wertz
hearse, was referred to the street COM
mittee.
T. P. Kellogg filed his final estimate
of the paving of North Court street,
the amount being $7863.02. Practi-
cally like amount is due from from
the C. S. & G. railroad for it's proper
tion of the cost, the latter being in ex-
cess of the original estimate owing to
extra work and material requested
subsequent to the acceptance of the
original specifications. The above
amount was allowed by council.
An understanding between Kellogg
and the council was that the village
should advance the railroads part of
the cost, collecting same from the lat
ter later, which arrangement was
agreed to by the railroad company.
An ordinance was passed a few weeks
ago to sell bonds with which to secure
this money, but the legality of the
| method has been questioned. 1t has
been stated by a local attorney that
as the railroad company technically is
not an obutting property owner to the
improved road, coulcil cannot sell its
bonds for this purpose.
A well-known bonding house il
Cleveland has stated that this prac
tice has been followed from time t.
time in other cities, and that theil
company has unhesitatingly bough
| such bends. Local banks, however
are not Of the same opinion ,and rep
resentatives of the banks went tt
Cleveland Wednesday for the purpos
OF ascerta1ning just how far they cal
go with safety in the matter.
Should they bring back an advers
report, new legislation will have to b
enacted to secure the money in som
other way, not yet decided upon.

DEXTER GAINING RECORD
AS ACCOMPLISHED LIAR

David Dexter, the stranger who sur
rendered to Sheriff Bigelow three
weeks ago with confession to having
committed a crime for which another
man had been convicted and was serv-
ing a prison term at Leavenworth, IS
evidently an accomplished liar. M
At the time he surrendered to Sher-
iff Bigalow, Dexter stated that he him
self had previously served time in
Leavenworth, but had been paroled to
Robert Hartley, friend, in the en-
ploy of the Mercantile Lunch Co.,New
York city. Dexter said he also be-
came an employe of the company as
assistant DO Hartley. The latter was
entrusted with the transferring of the
company's pay roll money from the
bank to the Office. One day, accord
ing to Dexter, Hartley asked the form
er to take the money to thepoffice. In
stead of doing SO, Dexter says he skip-
ped out with it, and Hartley was con-
victed of the theft and sent to Leaven-
worth prison. N
Sheriff Bigelow wired the New York
police department and received a re-
ply that Dexter had surrendered no
less than twenty times mas many diff
ferent places in the country and was
not wanted there.
Later he Sheriff wrote the ,Mer-
camille Lunch Co., who replied that
they had never had a robbery and that
Robert Hartley was at present in their
employ and had never been arrested in
has life.
In the face of both the statement OF
the police department and that of, the
Mercantile Lunch Co., Dexter still adj
heres to his original story. He ex-
plains the Mercantile Lunch Co.'s at
titude by saying that the company
probably discovered that Hartley was
not the culprit and. to fortify them
selves against damage suit by Hart
ley, came to his defense and reinstat.
ed him in his position.
Sheriff Bigelow states that he has
just about become convinced that pex.
tiers lis very taleI1ted, even .pictur-
esque fabricator, and together with
the fact that the latter is 10th to leave
the Jail, lis Of the opinion that Dexters
services Of surreders and ,semblance
of remorse is merely a continuance ,te
live without working.
Dexter is a perfect picture Of phys
ical manhood, an expert in physica
culture, the manual of arms, and als'
| claims TO be an accomplished eornat
ist.
sIf he can connect with a Jail two3o
three weeks every time he confesses
and has already surrendered twenty
times, it is safe to assume that shi
health has not been seriously impair
. ed by over work during the pas
twelve-month. III.
Sheriff Bigelow will turn Dexter GU
upon the cold and merciless work
some time this week unless somethIn,
turns up to warrant holding him. Thi
will give him "a whole week to- locat'
some other fertile field in which t
surrender before Xmas.
