10 Per Cent Salary Boost
Voted For Court Employees

The Madison County Commits
sioners, in session Monday Sept.
II, voted to allow a 10 per cent
increase in salaries of employees
of the Probate and Juvenile
courts. The Commissioners ex-
planned that the increase was "in
keeping" with a salary increase
given other court house employees
recently. Probate and Juvenile
court employees had not had sal
ary increases along with other
court house employees, it was
said. The Increases would total
$3.50 for one year.
Judge Maurice Beathard. who
had previously requested increases
totalling S785 per year for en-
ployees, was present at the meet
ing. While the Commissioners all
lowed the 10 per cent increase,
according to the pay schedule as
of Jan. /. 1851, the judge seemed
displeased when he called a rep
resentative of local newspapers a
watch dog of the county treas
ury".
Judge Beathard was not i'm
mediateiy available following the
meeting and 1t is not known
whether he will appoint his wife
to the $4,000 per year position as
Chief Deputy Clerk of the Pro-
bate Court and Chief Probation
Officer Of the Juvenile Court.
Both of these latter positions have
not heretofore functioned mas
much as the previous judges had
never appointed anyone to such
offices.
The commissioners also stated
that they had no jurisdiction over
any appointment that Judge Beat
hard might make and that he can
appoint anyone he chooses.
In 1880 the total salaries of the
offices was $500. Should Beath-
ard add his wife Or any other
person at $1,000 per year it will
bring the figule up to $11.845 for
a one year period if salaries re-
main static.

Loss Heavy
In Drought

Rain-the first Madison County
has had in quantity for many
weeks brought welcome relief
from the drought here Monday
afternoon Leonard McNeal,
weather observer, reported the
total was "a inches.
However welcomed, the rain ar
rived too late to be OF much value
to the corn crop.
Ohio State University agricul-
tural experts estimated central
Ohio farmers took more than a
$4,000, 600 (M) beating from the
drought in corn and soybean los
ses.
Observers said the Ohio rainfall
in the past week indicates the los
ses will not go any higher, how
ever. Pastures and meadows were
helped by the rain, but corn and
soybeans gained little by the
moisture.
Corn currently is selling at abb
out S1.70 q bushel. The estimated
loss for Franklin, Knox, Licking,
Delaware, Fairfield, Madison
Union, Champaign, Pickaway
Fayette, Marion and Morrow is
about 5,140,09O (M) bushels.
OSU experts estimate the corn
loss in dollars to be $8,734, 15C
(MD. The same counties have lost
about 54O,770 bushels of soybeans
At the present price of about S2.67
bushel, the loss totals over ST..

Two Burned And Three Held
For Probe OF Fire At Camp

Seriously burned when a can of
gasoline exploded, Thurman Ly-
ons, West jefferson, RID 1, was
taken to ST. Francis Hospital in
Columbus Friday night. His con-
dition was said to be critical.
Mr.. Lyons was burned when
he mistook the gasoline for water
and threw it on a fire which also
burned Mrs. Fred Buehl. Is. at
Buckeye Camp 215 miles east of
West Jefferson on Route 40, about
9 pm. Friday, according to au-
thorities. The fire caused but
slight damage, it was reported.
Mrs. Buehl suffered second de-
gree burns when she fell on a
blazing outside stairway while
running from the building.
Three other persons are held
at the Franklin County Jail for
investigation and questioning in
connection with the fire. They
are George Robertson of West
jefferson, RID / and his wife.
Dorothy Robertson. and John
Thompson. of Mix Ave. New
Rome. Robertson and Thompson
were arrested by West jefferson
Police Chief William Mcclure.
Franklin county sheriff's dep
uties James Potts, John Martin
and Abr Orndorff said that be-
fore the fire Robertson had been
in the cafe on the first floor of
the camp building and that an
argument ensued.
Later the deputies said Robert
son and Thompson went to West
Jefferson in Thompson's car and
purchased four gallons of gaso-
line from Charles Craig, filling
station operator, saying they need
ed the gas because another car
was out of gas.
According to the authOrltles
Craig was suspicious because
generally motorists buy only one
gallon of gasoline when their
cars run out of gas. He noted
the license number of the car.
Gasoline from two 2-gallon cans
had been poured around the camp
building and then set afire, au-
thorities said. Trailers near the
camp building were not endanger-
ed.
Mr.. Lyons the deputies report
ed. suffered burns when he tried
to extinguish the fire with a can
of gasoline he thought was water.
Chief Mcclure at West Jeffer-
son said that he understood q
hearing for the two men was TO
be conducted Monday. Arson in
vestigators were to participate in
the hearing he said.
LYONS condition Monday was
reported as fair at the hospital.

Moy q Robble-Rouser Urge His
Followers to Defy the Police?

A rabble-rousing speaker began
holding meetings in a park-right
next door to hospital! After few
days, the chief of police decided
the meetings were getting too
noisy, and ordered them stopped.
That night, several hundred people
gathered near the park and the
speaker urged them to "go on in."
They did-surging unchecked past
the few outnumbered policemen.
When the speaker was arrested for
obstructing justice, he protested
that neither he nor his followers
had actually used physical force
on the officers. However, the court
found him guilty anyhow. The judge
said: at wasn't necessary that
they should kick and fight and bite
their way into the park. Their con-
duct, under the circumstances, was
just as effective!"
