JAMES, AGED %,
VICTIM OF PNEUMONIA

Mr.. Charles James, aged %, as
sistant postmaster at Malta, and one
of the community's very best young
men, passed away Wednesday morn
ing at SIS o'clock at Bethesda hos
pital, GAINESVILLE, of pneumonia,
which followed an operation for ap-
pendicitis. In November he suffer-
ed an attack of appendicitis, but ap-
parently recovered and an operation
was not performed. On Jan. he
was suddenly stricken with appen-
dicitis and was rushed to Bethesda
hospital, where he was operated
upon. The operation was serious
one, the appendix having ruptured.
For several days his condition was
not good, however he later improv-
ed and was recovering. Last Thurs
day he took pneumonia, and from
that time on his condition was crit
ical.
of the late Frank and Myard James,
and was born Nov. 26, 1913, at NAL
ta. His mother was a native Of
Michigan, and the family resided
there for some years, where Mr..
James, the father, was employed.
When Charles was seven years Of
age his mother died, and in little
over year his father passed away.
Following the death of his mother
he made his home with his grand
mother, Mrs. Ida James, and the
latter's sister, Miss Mary Bell of
upper Malta. He attended grade
school in Malta and in the year
1881 graduated from M. & NJ. high
school, Later he attended Buckeye
Business college at Columbus. In
May, 1888, when George T.. New
man was postmaster at Malta, he en-
tered the postoffice as clerk, and
when Mr. Mark StrahI assumed the
office in July, 1888, he was retain
ed as assistant postmaster. In the
discharge of his duties he was most
efficient, always pleasant, accommo-
dating, quiet of manner, and univer-
sally liked, and Postmaster Strahl
feels, as do also the patrons of the
office, that to fill his place will be
difficult. He was young man
of clean, moral habits. He attended
the Malta Methodist Episcopal
church and Sunday school, and his
death coming as it did in his young
manhood which was filed with
promise, brings pangs of sorrow to
his many friends and acquaintances,
but falls heaviest on his grandmoth-
er and aunt, to whom he was most
keenly devoted, and who have the
sympathy of the community.
The body was brought here to the
Fisher undertaking parlor, where it
remained until today, when it
will be taken to the late home in
Malta. Funeral arrangements will
not be complete until after the ar
rival of the deceaseds uncle, Lee
James, of Detroit, who is expected
to arrive this forenoon.

are made temporarily, and for three
months, instead of for a year, as is
the custom.
w. II. Savage is granted blind

all the deficient animal claims for
the year 1920, same will be paid in
full.
Upon motion, the two mill road

Schweizer, located about midway
between Pennsville and Stockport,
was entirely consumed by fire We'd
nesday morning between five and

to the barn to do the feeding His
wife was still in bed. On returning
to the house he found the kitchen
all in flames and it was necessary to
break down a door in order to res
cue his wife.
But very little furniture was saw
ed, and all clothing excepting what
they had on was consumed in the
flames. The house, good one,
which was of frame construction,
was comparatively new and modern.
1t replaced house destroyed by
fire about a dozen years ago, at the
same place. Some insurance was
carried, but not near enough to COW
er the loss.

Love & Bragg Filling Station
Held Up Early Monday

Held Up EARLY Monday
Monday morning about 8 o'clock,
Love & Bragg's filling station here
was robbed of about $68 cash. The
station was in charge of George
Clemens, aged 20, and Bill Grouse,
an older man, and his near neigh
Dor, was visiting him. Clemens and
Grouse both reside on the former
DR.. Barker farm on north river
road. Three men in a black Ply
mouth coupe coming down route
No. IT, stopped at the filing station,
which maintains all night service.
They stopped and asked for gaso-
line, and after Clemens had put five
gallons of the fluid in the car, he
was rendered a bill in payment. AS
he started into the station to make
change he was held up by two of
the men with sawed-off shot gun,
the third party remaining in the
machine with the motor running.
Clemens and Grouse were ordered
to face the WALL and the bandits
scooped the money. They then
made Clemens and Grouse "backup"
to the air tower, about 200 feet
from the station, and the three sped
away through McConnelsville. Glenn
ems and Grouse had opportunity to
get good description of the three
hold-up parties, and got their Ii
cense plate numbers. Sheriff Adrean
was quickly notified, and he and
Deputy Frank Adrean spread the
alarm to sheriffs and troopers in all
surrounding towns.
Tuesday afternoon Stanley Scott,
aged IT, and Howard Thornton, 10,
of GAINESVILLE, were arrested at
GAINESVILLE, and brought here by
Sheriff Adrean and Deputy Frank
Adrean, where they confessed. They
were arraigned Tuesday morning
before Lawrence Seaman, J. p, on
the charge of armed robbery. Scott
pleaded not guilty and Thornton
waived examination. Both were
bound over to the grand jury which
meets next week, under $1,000
bond each, and unable to furnish
same they were sent to jail. George
Clemens, Bill Grouse, John Nc
Lees and Worley Hooper identified
Scott by picture in GAINESVILLE.
Hooper and McLees were in the
Sandwich Shoppe, here, when Scott
and the others came in not long
before the robbery. It is stated that
after getting the sandwiches they
drove up the river, and turned
around and came back to the filing
station.
When Scott was taken into GUS
tody, he told who was with him,
and how they got from here to
GAINESVILLE. After the holdup, they
drove to Caldwell, thence to Cum
berland and into GAINESVILLE. Here
one Of the parties got coupe be-
longing to Nell Robinson, and fol-
lowed the others in the Plymouth
coupe to Coshocton. Here they
abandoned the Plymouth coupe,
which it is stated was stolen car,
and returned to GAINESVILLE in the
Robinson auto. 1t is stated that
from the time they left here until
they had made the entire rounds
(Coshocton included) they were
back in GAINESVILLE by six o'clock a.
m. The third party here who re-
NAMED in the machine when the
filling station was being held up,
was Harley Thomas, paroled from
the Ohio penitentiary, and officials
came to GAINESVILLE and got him.
The quick, effective manner in
which our officials managed the af-
fair, after it had been SO carefully
planned by the bandits, is worthy
of DraiSe
