DEMOCRATS FILE SUIT
TO FORCE REFERENDUM

The Democratic attack upon Gov.
Davis administration reorganization
bill got into full swing Monday when
mandamus suits were filed in the
state supreme court by w. w. Dur
bin, chairman of the Democratic state
executive committee, against Attor-
ney General Price and Secretary of
State Harvey G. Smith.
The action against the two officials
set forth that the attorney general re-
fused to approve the referendum petit
ton and Secretary Smith synopsis
Of the act, when they were submitted
by Durbin's attorneys few days ago.
The court is asked to require them
to file the referendum petition. This
follows action taken by Senator J. F.
Burke of Elyria, and other Republi-
cans several days ago. The court is
expected to take early action on the
cases.
It is expected that the three suits
will be argued at the same time, as
they all raise the same question and
seek to reach the same end.
The hearing probably will be held
in the week Of May 80. The exact
date probably will be set by the chief
justice within few days.

"ALL ABOARD" ARTISTIC
AND FINANCIAL SUCCESS
Guild of St. Pauls Church Realizes
.Es $206

While the production of another
musical comedy was quite unneces-
ls,s5y togprove the unusual amount. of
musical and histrionic talent Of which
Medina village is possessed, neverthe-
less, the cold fact was again demon
strated on Thursday and Friday ev-
e1ings of last week in the rendition
Of the popular and tuneful melange,
y"Ail Aboard at the Princess theater,
to which the audience that filled the
play house both nights can attest.
\ From a FINANCIAL as we'll as artistic
standpoint the production was all that
could be expected-eveh more The
ladies Of the Guild of St. Paul's
Episcopal church, under whose aus
pices the entertainment was staged,
realized the neat sum of $286 as their
share of the net proceeds, the finan-
cial arrangement being $3.50 one
with the John B. Rogers Producing
Co., whose representative, Miss Helen
Rhoades, superintended the produc-
ton.
I'm the main the cast in "Al1 Aboard"
was the same as in the production of
the opera, miss Bob White" pre-
scented here last fall, and which estabI

is that the previous one possesses
greater musical merit than "All

pertaining character; this notwith-
standing that "All Aboard" contains
many fine bits of melody. and the
situations lending themselves to much

COY MURDER ECHO IN
ACTION TO QUIET TITLE

r An action to quiet title was filed
with County Clerk Frazier last Fri
day, which in common with most
actions of this kind, is friendly one
and doubtless will be quickly and
quietly adjudicated:
The case.would deserve but passing
notice but for one name which ap-
peags in the petition, one which reg
3isters an echo Of the most heinous
crime ever perpetrated in Medina
county in its history. The name is
that Of Shubal Coy, who with his wife
and young son were murdered in cold
blood in July, 1864, in their home,
still standing on the. west side OF
South Elmwood street, midway be-
tween West Washington street and
Smith Road. Coy was an extensive
cattle dealer and had a large sum Of
money in the house the night of the
e14xde Of which he was robbed.
Frederick Streeter, character OF
the village at that time and who had
been q frequenter Of the Coy home,
disappeared from town immediately
following the murder, and suspicion
at once fell upon him. Some time
later he was located in d western
town, arrested and brought back to
Medina, tfieds and convicted Of the
crime, and made expfation on a gal
lows erected in the northeast part 81
the village, his execution being public
and witnessed by thousands Of people
from all over this section.
The action started in court last
week is brought by Frederick and
Margarita Petrie against the un-
known heirs, legatees, devisees, ex-
ecutors and administrators Of Sarah
Merrick, Mary Nye, Hiram Sheldon
Harriet Sheldon, and Shubal Coy, ali
deceased, to quiet title in "a tract 81
80 acres >of land in Lafayette town
ship, known as part Of original Mer-
rick tract.
