WANTED HIS RELEASE
PAPERS; ARRESTED

Russell Lynn of Morgan county
apparently concluded that the state
of Ohio was through with him, and,
despite the fact that he was rum
away prisoner from the Mansfield
reformatory, he wrote to the board
of parole and asked for his final re-
lease papers. The letter informed
the prison authorities where he was
living. Now he is back behind the
bars and guard will take him back
to the reformatory.
According to Sheriff Arthur Mac
key, Lynn was sent UP from Nor
gan county for Chesterhill rob-
berry, several years ago. He served
part of his time, then walked away
from the reformatory. He wander
ed about the country without any
apparent. molestatiOn, and finally he
took up his home with friends in
Waterford township. Having con-
cluded that the state no longer
wanted him, he grew bold enough to
write in for his discharge papers.
That act brought new climax in
his life. A deputy sheriff was sent
after him and a telegram received
by the sheriff says that a prison
guard is coming after him.-Mariet-

MORGAN COUNTY is PROUD
OF ITS FAIR

The feeling of many that public
interest in county fairs had waned
during the past few years, with the
advent of new and different kinds OF
entertainment, has been dispelled
once and for all by the huge crowds
that attended recent fairs.
This would indicate that instead
of waning interest in the county
fair, it has increased. The old
adage that people are interested
most in those things closest to them,
still holds true. Home grown prod
ucts of garden and field, prize local
bred livestock, foods preserved by
skillful canning, and beautiful hand
icraft and needle work are still dear
to all of our hearts.
We appreciate the things our fore
fathers priced.
