NEW LAVE CHECKS WORK
OF SCHOOL ENUMERATION

The annual school enumeration
which was begun in Medina village
last week, has been held up through
the recent enactment of what is
known as the Bing bill, which among
other things makes changes in the
age limits Of the pupils to be enumsr-
ated. Thus the enumeration was
checked at this time to- await the new
blank forms for the work. n
In the past the-age range for school
enumeration was froms6 to 21 years.
Under the new statute the range is
from 5 to Is years. The section Of
the bill governing the enumeration
this year is as follows:
For the purpose~of the apportion-
ment Of the common school fund the
enumeration shall mean in the case Of
every enumeration subsequent to the
going into effect of this section the
enumeration Of children from five to
eighteen years Of age; and in the year
1921 if the enumeration is not taken in
May on this new basis, the enumera-
tion shAll be taken in the four weeks
following the date when this section
shall become effective, and the dates
of the required enumeration shall be
correspondingly altered"
The new blanks are expected to ar
rive this week, says County Auditor
Washburn, when work Of enumeration
will be promptly resumed here and
throughout the county.

RECOGNIZED COMRADE MI
IN DEATH OF BANDIT
Medina Man Served in Same Company
in France

~ z Y b
In reading an account of the shoot
ing Of bandit in Lima by the police
OF that city last Saturday, Ford Case
OF Medina recognized in the published
picture and name of tie man COM
rade in the late war.
According to Case the. bandit, whose
mamie was Raleigh Ross Townsend,
was in Cases company, the 32oth in
fantry of the. 83d division, and was
stationed at Ecomy, France. Both
men were. thrown together most of
the, time and became well. acquainted
with each other. Townsend was a
corporal in the regimental postal de-
partment
Before embarking from New York,
says Case, he remembers of Townsend
evincing considerable interest in a
huge diamond ring he was wearing,
and finally was given leave of absence
to leave the jewelry in care>of a. bank
ing institution.
Case says that Townsend was a
good-looking and well-appearing fel-
low, but with an overweening propen-
sity for gambling. On the return
voyage after the armistice, says Case,
Townsend won $500 between ports
from his fellow comrades.
Before leaving France, Case made a
typewriter copy of the names and
home addresses of all the members of
his company, which he still>possesses,
and on which appears the-name of
Raleigh Ross Townsend, and the ad-
dress Grand Hotel Bar. 5l4 Adance
street, Toledo. o.
Since his death Cleveland police
have identified Townsend as one OF
the men suspected of being implicated
in the Bedford bank robbery several
months ago.

GRANGER MAN ROBBED
BY FALSE PRETENDER
Poses as Officer and Mulcts Farmer
Of $i52.S0

Joseph Juhasz Of Granger township,
as well as Sheriff Bigelow, are anxious
to locate one p. III. Stenhouse, who
under the pretense Of being deputy
sheriff Of Medina county, swindled
Juhasz out Of $152.80 one day last
week
II appears that Juhasz had an option
on a farm belonging to "A. w. Chap
man in Sharon township for about
$4,000. Stenhouse, it IS claimed, ap-
peared at the Juhasz home, and intro
ducing himself as an official, showing
his badge, told Juhasz that he had i
claim against the farm for the amount
mentioned above, and that If Juhasz
would satisfy this claim, he, Stenhouse
would arrange for Juhasz to. secure
\ the farm for $1,000.
Everything seemed all right to
Juhasz and the latter fell for the ar
rangement. Not having the money
with him, both Julfasz and Stenhouse
drove to Akron, where the former OBJ
tanned the money and paid it over to
Stenhouse, the latter graciously tend
ering receipt therefor. s 3tSs
Neither Chapman nor anyone else
seems to know anything about who
SfehhOuse is, where he came from,and
moreover how a stranger should be
SO familiar with all the minor details
Concerning the Chapman farm and It's

Dependency under which his mind
had labored for considerable period
Of time and which his family had Oh
served TO be more marked Of late,
was responsible for the death by his
own hands last ridaymorning Of Ed
win A. Carlton Of Lafayette town
ship, on his farm about three and
one half miles southeast Of Medina
village, near the Northern Ohio
trestle. E W
AS an evidence Of Mr. Cartons
unalterable determination to take his
own life, he employed double means
Of accomplishing the act, either one
of which would have effectually serv-
ed his purpose.
According to Mrs. Carlton her hus-
band arose early and went to the
harm about 5 O'Clock. When about
two hours later he did not return,
with her little daughter She went to
the barn and called to him, Receiving
no reply, the daughter went up stairs
to the NOW, where she beheld the
gruesome sight Of her father suspend-
ed by the neck from rafter, and
deads> Further examination dfsclos-
ed the fact thatsafter adjusting the
rome to his neck, the unhappy man
had shot himself through the head
with 36-calibre revolver.
The rope used Was about two
thirds Of an inch III diameter and
after adjustment was only about
three or four feet in length. The
hay underneath the rafter to which
the rope was attached was somewhat
higher than the surrounding area,
forming ledge from which the mans
body slid off. The rope was tied as
q slip-noose, which from the weight
Of the body was drawn so tight that
q large discolored ridge was formed
encircling the neck. Death would
have soon ensued from this situation
even had the revolver not been used.
Coroner e. L. Crum was called and
viewed the body, assigning the cause
Of death as suicide, due to despon-
dency. s
