HARRIS RECEIVERS RUNAWAY WIFE
UNDER GLORIOUS IRCUMSTANCES

The family circle of Henry Harris,
colored, of Bronson street, is again
complete. Ruptured few weeks ago
when Mrs. Harris eloped with John
Washington, also colored and board
er in the Harris household, it has
again assumed its original form, the
errant help-meet having, returned and.
presumably, become once more par
t,cipant in the Harris bed and board
Henry Harris loves his wife. He
says so. And that is why, ever since
his wife deserted him, he has left no
stone unturned to find her and, if pos.
sible, prevail upon her to return tc
him. The first indication of success
developed about two weeks ago, when
he learned from fellow Ethiopian
that Mrs. Harr and Washington were
in Mansfield, living there as man and
wife. A description of the two were
sent to the Mansfield police depart
ment by Sheriff B gelow, with the re-
quest that search be made for them.
Nothing coming from this, the un-
daunted husband took the matter into
his own hands, and then the fun be-
gam"
Harris says he went to Mansfield on
Monday OF last week, visited the po-
lice department and prevailed upon the
chief to detail an officer to accompany
him in search for the missing couple.
Before starting out, however, Harris
says the officer took him into a room
where was displayed guns of every
description and uniforms of all sizes,
and told him to hold up his hand.
"Ah done hol' 'em UP alright" says
Harris, but suah wond'd whether |
had got into police station aw ah
den O. thieves" Harris fears were
allayed when he was informed by the
officer that he had just been depu-
tized, and that he was to don a uni
form and select the biggest gun he
could find.

DEATH IN AKRON
OF FRED W. CLARK

Fred P. Clark, born and reared in
Medina, and where he spent the great
er part of his life, died Monday morn
ing of this week at his late home,
816 Wall street, Akron, following a
brief illness. Mr.. Clark suffered a
slight stroke some time ago, and while
apparently he had recovered from it,
it is thought his death was either
hastened by it or that he may have
sustained another stroke.
The deceased was about So years
of age, and was the only child of the
late Reuben Clark, who died about
nine or ten years ago. The mother
departed this life more than a score
of years ago.
Mr.. Clark was natural mechanic,
and for a period of years superinten'-
ed the installing Of linotypes in Palla-
ma and various parts of South Amer
lea. About a decade ago he return
ed to Medina, where he followed his
Vocation as a machinist with about
four years ago when he removed to
Akron. He was musician of con-
siderable ability, and for a number of
years was solo alto player in the
Medina band.
Mr.. Clark was twice married, his
first wife, being she who before her
marriage was Miss Mildred Kenyon
Of Medina. The deceased is survived
by widow, and stepdaughter, Mrs.
M. H. Barron, the latter of Medina.
Funeral services were held at the
home in Akron Wednesday, conduct
ed by the Masonic order, of which
Mr.. Clark had been identified for
many years. Several members of
the Medina Masonic lodge attended
the obsequies, later accompanying the
body to Medina to it's last resting
place in Spring Grove cemetery,where
another brief service was held.

AS the two walked out of the sta
ton and circulated about the main
streets, Harris admits it was the proud
est hour of his life. They had not
proceeded far when Harris saw his
wife and Washington emerging from
a movie theater. Harris and the Of
fcer followed them to their apart
ments. A rap on the door brought
Mrs. Harris to the door. When ask
ed if she was Mrs. Washington" she
replied that she was She called to her
husband" who when he saw the po-
liceman, reached for gun. The Of
ficer was too quick for him and COW
cred h m with his revolver, Harris
simultaneously stepping forward and
placing the muzzle of his weighty
weapon under .Washington's nose.
"Ah wanted to kill him." says Harris,
but jus couldn't max up NAH min
to-" not knowing until later that the
officer had carefully removed the load
from his gun before leaving the police
station.
Neither his wife nor Washington
recognized Harris until they were on
their way to the station in the BLACK
Maria" when he says the woman gave
him a worse tongue-lashing than he
ever got from her before. Washington
and the Harris woman were locked up
for the night and Tuesday morning
were fined SIS and costs and ordered
to- leave the city Immediately. The
fines and costs were pad by Wash
ington and Mrs. Harris reluctantly
accompanied her husband back to Me-
dina. ... .. ....r.....
Harris says he will never forget his
wonderful experience, and it is prob
able that all future episodes in his
life he will date from the one supreme
hour when he was clothed in full
police regalia and armament and
technically at least a full fedged guard
ian of a great city.
