Thursday night 81 last week the re-
suit of too much booze, was response
BILE for his arrest, subsequent to his be-
ing knocked down, and little later
paying fine of S. and costs.
The stranger was one of party Of
five men who said they were from
Cleveland. They had become so
boisterous, particularly the one, that
the proprietor of the restaurant re-
quested them to quiet down. They
ignored the request and Sheriff Bige-
low was called over. Anticipating
trouble after sizing up the men, the.
sheriff quietly deputized Stanley Funk
who was passing at the time.
The men were finally persuaded to-
pay their bill and leave the restaurant
but on the outside the principal
trouble-maker made a pass at Sheriff
Bigelow, whereupon Funk let loose his
"trusty right" and the man dropped to
the pave.
He was then promptly locked up.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM
DEATH OF MEDINA MAN
w. E. House Seriously Injured by
Falling Log

The many friends of w. E. House
will regret to learn Of a serious ac-
iciden that befell him last Saturday
morning in the yard Of his home on
the Lake road, and which came very
nearly costing him his life,
Mr.. House was engaged with Ralph
Bennett in loading log onto wag-
on. When the log was on, Mr.. House
stopped to pick up a chain with
which to bind the load, when the log
rolled off and fell on him, pinning
him to the ground and breaking his
right limb near the hip. 1t was some
little time before Mr.. Bennett could
jack the timber off from the unfor-
tunate man.
The log was about 22 inches in di-
ameter and is said to weigh nearly
1000 pounds.
Mr.. House did not lose conscious
ness, but suffered great pain. DR.. r.
G. Strong was summoned from Me-
dina and after administering first aid
had Mr.. House removed to Fairview
hospital, Cleveland. At first it was
believed that Mr.. House had also sus-
tanned internal injuries, but an X-ray
examination Monday morning dis
closed that such was not the case,
ialtho it was found that there was al
so displacement Of the pelvic bone.
Mr., Houses injuries are of such a
character say the hospital physicians,
that he will probably be laid up for a
long period Of time.
That he did not meet Instant death
by the falling on him of such an i'm
mense weight is regarded as little
short Of miraculous.

BRUNSWICK DWELLING
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Woman Breaks Arm in Rushing for
Assistance

The tenant house of B. S. Brainard
mile south of Brunswick center, oc-
cupied by VIM. Stephenson and fam
lily, was totally destroyed by fire last
Friday afternoon.
The cause of the fire is not known,
as the building was in flames when
discovered by Mrs. Stevenson. The
latter rushed from the burning build
ing to get assistance, and in doing so
tripped and fell, breaking her left arm.
In spite of her injury the unfortunate
woman fastened back to the build
ing to rescue her two children and
then ran half mile to notify her hus-
band.
: Meanwhile the pupils of the school,
near by, and neighbors were success
full in removing the furniture from
the house. However, all the cloth
ing of the family, besides more than
$500 worth of carpenter and automo-
bile tools were destroyed.
Mr.. Stephenson removed his child
rem to his wife's parents home in Ak
ron, Sunday, where they will remail
until the mother is able to care for
them.

EUROPEAN RELIEF FUND
PASSES $4,000 MARK
Many Townships Have Not Yet Made
Reports

Blake Mcdowell, county treasurer
for the European Relief Fund, reports
that the actual returns in cash and
pledges turned in at the Old Phoenix
Bank has just topped. three thousand
dollars. This is not a large sum as
compared to the total goal of the
county, but when one considers that
il has come largely from three town
ships it shows a remarkably fine re.
sponse to the appeal Of the Hoover
Commission.
h Next week it is the desire Of the
committee to publish the returns BY
townships. All township chairmen
are urged to get in subscriptions and
moneys at once as the slate for the
entire county should be cleaned In the
next ten days.
The greatest difficulty encountered
by the general county committee has
been to get local men in each town
ship who would see the matter thru
not toget the money when the mat.
ter was actually presented to the
people. Lodi, Wadsworth and. Seville
have to date reported no definite &C.
tion taken, although repeated at
tempts have been made to secure 1ocal
leadership to head up the subscrip.
ton, York, Sharon, Granger, Mont
vile and other townships have been
working very effectively and will have
a fine record when the final figures
are in. .
Wadsworth, thru some inadvertance
has not been organized for relief work
until enow. D. S. Longacre and E
n, Root were in Wadsworth on Tues.
day and prevailed upon the Women;
clubs Of that city to organize for the
work and make the canvass for funds
Tonight, Friday, Rev. R. K. Coull
and Mr.. E. R. Root will address q
public meeting at Wadsworth Council
chamber in the interest of the Re.
lief movement.

farm LOAN MEASURE
is DECLARED VALID
FUNDS WILL BE READY
WITHIN THIRTY DAYS
Applications From Medina County
Farmers Totalling More Than $780,
600 Have Been Held Up Through
Injunction.

A judicial decision that will be well
coined by many farmers of Medina
county, no less than others scattered
thruout the country, was handed down
by the Supreme Court Of the United
States on Monday.
\ It was dis to the constitutionality
of the Farm Loan act. The case has
been in the courts for the past two
years, all the lower courts having de-
-cided favorably as to the validity Of
the act.
The farm loan act is designed to as
sist the agricultural developments of
the United States by providing readily
accessible credits to farmers thruout
federal land banks.
The case decided was an appeal
from lower court decrees refusing an
injunction sought by Charles w.
Smith, stockholder Of the Kansas
City Title & Trust Co., to restrain
that institution from investing its
funds in the securities of the land
banks. The contention was made that
the farm loan act was invalid as con-
gress had authority under the con-
stitution neither to establish banks
nor to exempt their securities from
state taxation. a
The court in a practically unani-
nous opinion, upheld the authority Of
the government in both instances. The
power to designate fiscal agencies has
been conceded to congress since the
days of Chief Justice Marshall, the
opinion held, and the tax exemption
provision was necessary protection.
The farm loan act is utilized thru
the Federal farm loan banking dis
tricts, Medina county being in the
Louisville district. Application for
loans are made to the local organiza-
tion, which in Medina county is
known as the Medina County Nation
al Farm Loan association. At the
time Of its organization, about two
years ago, former County Agent Sails
bury was it's chairman. Since his re-
moval from Medina county the chair
manship has been held by w. p.
Ainsworth.
Since the validity of the Farm
Loan act has been in the courts sub
segment application for loans Of
course have been held up. This has
worked a handicap to many Medina
farmers, as is evidenced by the fact
that applications for loans totalling
more than $4,000 are on file with
Mr.. Ainsworth,. but which now, it is
hoped, may soon be negotiated. This
hope is based on the announcement
made Monday that there will be an
immediate issue of farm loan bonds
"to an undeterminate amount" and
bearing 5.per cent. interest, to fin
ance the hundreds Of millions of dol
lars approved by the board and which
were held up pending the courts de-
cision.-It will probably be thirty days
at least, however, befort funds are
available for actual loaning.
