with pleasurable interest by this gen

worth, Peppers age being above that

diciton.
Boyd admitted having had in his
possession several articles taken from

present when the robbery was COM

the store and the stealing of the
goods was done by one Mike Hotten-

DEATH ENDS ROMANCE
BEGUN IN AUSTRIA
Former Lover Awaiting Own
End In Electric Chair

The death of Mrs. Steve Kalik in
Wadsworth last week, marked the end
of a romance that budded brightly,
but withered ere it bloomed. Tragedy
touched the petals as they opened,
and sorrows zephyr waited them
away.
Ten months ago Kada Arbanus
landed at Ellis Island. She travelled
to Wadsworth to meet and marry her
lover, Joe Mack, employed at that
time by the Ohio Match Company.
After the girl arrived Mack went to
Akron and told his mother of the pro-
posed marriage. When the mother
objected, Mack, in drunken fury,
fired nine bullets into her body, caus.
ing instant death.
Mack was arrested on a murder
charge and was given the death sen.
tence. He is now in the death cell al
Columbus, the court of appeals hav.
ing granted reprieve until his ap.
plication for new trial can be passed
upon.
The girl, disappointed in her love
affair, met and married Steve KaliI
within month of her expected mar
riage to Mack. tuberculosis de-
veloped shortly after her marriage
causing her death within eigh
months.

Once more love has sustained
bump in Medina county-this time
within the classic precincts Of Lafay-
cite. After an elapse Of nearly three
decades since Ransom r. Trowbridge
led she who is now Sarah A. Trow-
bridge to the marriage altar, the lat
ter now declares that life with Ran
som has become unbearable and asks
the court to release her from further
endurance Of it. "
The divorce petition, which was
filed last Saturday, states that the
couple was married on Sept. Z, 1892,
and have had eight children, three Of
whom are living. Plaintiff recites
that defendant has repeatedly as
saulted, beaten and struck her, called
her vile and obscene names, and has
not spoken to her since, May Of this
year. Also, that he is guilty of gross
neglect of duty in not providing the
necessaries of life for herself and
minor children.
Plaintiff, aside from asking for a
divorce, seeks alimony custody of
the minor children, and temporary
injunction restraining defendant from
disposing Of any Of his property
pending an adjudication Of the suit.
]. W. and ]. A. Seymour are at
torneys for plaintiff.
