When Belmont Park was gener-
ously opened several years since to
our citizens who wished to prom
enade through its beautiful walks,
it was granted as a privilege that
propriety would not abuse, but a
certain class have treated it so
much as public property in their
wantoness and abuse of proprieties,
that it became necessary by print
ed notices to forbid their use as
heretofore. This does not apply of
course to persons known to the
owner.
Martin E. Walker, a prominent
citizen of near Middletown, died on
the 7th instant about 5 o'clock in
the afternoon. BY his death the
community loses useful and in
fiuential member. He was a direc-
tor of the Citizens National Bank
and a leading member of the M. E.
Church. At the time of his death
he was collector of taxes for ST.
Georges Hundred and had served
as a road commissioner for sever
al years. He leaves a widow and
three sons.
On Tuesday morning about six
o'clock as Mr. Albert B. Smith, a
butcher from Leipsic, was selling
meat in this town, his horse be
came unmanageable, and as Mr..
Smith was trying to control him,
he received a kick which caused a
compound fracture of the leg be-
tween the knee and ankle. The
bones were set by DR.. Ashcraft and
the injured man was taken home
in a comparatively comfortable
condition. Through the kindness
of Mr.. Jacob Leinberger one Of our
butchers, his meat was taken care
of and sold out.
Among the many tramps who
visited here last week, there was
one who was raised in Milford and
when a boy, he came to this town,
served term of six years with one
of our most prominent merchants
and left here to fill a situation as
bookkeeper for a wealthy firm in
Brooklyn, N. Y. Since then, moth
ing was heard of him until last
summer when he came to this town
as a tramp and made himself
known but to two persons. After
tramping the town for two days,
he disappeared and was not seen
any more until his temperance
here last week.
