-NEWsLONDONFIRE a
PREVENTS ONE HERE

The burning Of the "A. c. & Y. sta
tion at New London last week may
have been the means Of preventing a
like destructive fire at tgthe Z Medina
station. The fire at the former place
started in the woodwork surrounding
the chimney if the office room Of the
station. The stations along the line
are practically ali built alike, and fol-
lowing the New London fire, Station
Agent David Watkins was directed BY
the company to have the woodwork re-
moved from around the chimney in the
local office. When this was done it
was.found that much Of the wood on
the inner side was charred, indicat-
ing that it had been fired at some
time or times, lacking only slight
draft to whip. it into flames. Other
agents of the road were given similar
directions as MI. Watkins. NJ

COURT TAKES FROM
JURY THE KNOLL CASE
Lodi Man Acquitted Of Receiving
Stolen Property.

The case of the State Of Ohio VS..
Ad0lph Knoll on a charge Of receiv-
ing stolen property, was tried in COM
mon pleas court this week. The case
was delayed some, running into We'd
nesday, because Of absence of certain
of states witnesses.
AS soon as the state rested it's case,
counsel for defense made a motion
that the court wrest the case from the
jury and direct, a verdict of acquittal,
on the claim that the state had fail
ed to present evidence Of guilt. The
court granted the motion and Knoll
was discharged. y
Knoll admitted that he had shipped
three barrels Of fowls to the Cleve-
land Produce Co., the same number
alleged to have been stolen from a
Wheeling 4 Lake Erie freight train;
also that he subsequently had collect
ed for them. But he declared that the
shipment. had been made for q man
by the name Of Hasenfuss, The latter,
said Knoll, asked him to make ship
ment for him, as his truck had broken
down and he was unable to take the
load to the city. Knoll says that Has
enfuss was stranger to him, and had
not yet called for his money. T..
Through the state failing to pro-
duce the original bill of lading of the
W. & l.. E. shipment, it, was not
legally established that a theft had
even been made from the railroad.

AGRICULTURAL DEPT.
OF H. S. MAKING GOOD

/ At the beginning of the second
semester the Smith Hughes Agricul-
tural school of Medina high school
shows an enrolment of eighteen boys.
This enrolment is not far from the
average OF the various Smith Hughes
schools scattered oyert the state.
Medina's enrolment is fortunate in
that it consists of a group that per-
mits of the instructor giving much in
dlyidual work, and enables Mr.. Barnes
to secure very high type of class
room work. The popularity of this
department among the farmers bows
enrolled in Medina high, school is
quite apparent, as three-foHrths of the
boys whose parents live on farms are
enrolled in the agricultural depart
ment. %
Any boy completing this course may
teel certain that he has prepared him
self sufficiently in the theory and prac
tice Of modern farming to make a
successful farmer; if he. possesses the
Iother natural qualities essential to ev-
cry farmers success.
lhe following is suggestive of some
OF the work covered by the agricultur-
al classes last semester
Selection of seed corn in the field,
Study of wheat. Treating the wheat
for smut. A study of potatoes with
treatments to control disease and in
sects. Feeding of dairy cows. Test
ing balanced ration. Judging and
selecting dairy cattle. Testing milk
with Babcock tester and with chemi-
Gals, keeping records of dairy herds.
AS result of this last study five
of the boys are keeping records of
their fathers dairy herds, which are
proving not only interesting but prac-
tlcal and profitable as we'll.
During the past week asvisitor would
have found the, boys getting their seed
corn tester in working order by run
ming test. Nearly all-the BOYS ex-
pect to test their fathers seed corn
this spring, SO that they will be sure
to plant only good seed. Anyone
wishing limited amount of Jseed
corn tested should get in touch with
with the director, Mr.. Barnes, at the
high school.
In a few weeks a report of results
OF seed corn tests will be given.

THE HAUNTED HOUSE,
"A AT SHARON rs SOLD
Lonely Landmark, Said to be Spirit
Rendezvous.

The, John Beech farm in Sharon
township was sold last week to a
real estate firm in Wadsworth. For
years the home. on the Beech farm
has been known as the "haunted
house" and has not been occupied for
some time.
Standing like lonely landmark
of another age, the house has been
an object of interest in the neigh
borhood for more than a quarter of
century. Stories of ghosts who
prowled and gamboled in the wee
sma' hours have been circulated
since the owners body was carried
from the house year or so ago.
Many persons have told of seeing
dancing tQaand fro in the house wheh
they passed it during the night. Rat
tling of chains could be heard from
the road, they declared. Small boys
always go miles out of their way to
avoid passing the house after dark.
