himself. He did.

Pursuant to the petition sub

The petition bears the sigma
ture of AZ electors residing with

According to the petition, John

Eugene Ward All
Democrat Show
At Convention
AS Spectator

Among the thousands of
spectators at the Democratic
national convention at Chicago
last week was Eugene Ward of
Yoker Valley. ~ --. ~-..-.
He spent his weeks vacation
there and left the convention
city by plane Friday afternoon,
before the actual climax of the
convention, the presidential
nomination and President Tru-
mans speech that night.
Having been an alternate dele
gate in the two previous national
conventions, in 1914 and 1948, he
mentioned that this year was by
far the greatest show. 1t is uni
versally known that in 1914,
Roosevelt was nominated by ac-
clamation and Truman received
his nomination the same way in
1948.
This time, there were more
candidates for the nomination,
adding more color. Another fact
that must be remembered is that
the whole show was televised,
giving the delegates more reason
to act up. Noble countians were
not able to watch the scenes
since we are located too far from
a station or a booster station.
With the erection of huge tele-
vision tower at GAINESVILLE, tele-
vision aerials may appear on the
roof of more Noble county homes
in the near future.
Wards reason for leaving
Chicago before the actual nomi-
nation was that the whole pro-
cedure, even to watch it, was an
exhausting experience.
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1952-07-31

amount was also raised a.
that time for the younger
Cline.
Carpenter died on Thurs
day morning, July II, at the
Cline home, following an alter
cation over a bull breaking the
line fence on the Cline farm. It
IS understood that the two fam
lilies had been feuding for some
time.
Mrs. Beulah Carpenter order
ed the autopsy and it was per-
formed by University hospital,
Columbus, but to date the report
has not been released. Author
tiles there say it will nc: be until
the costs are paid.
Although this financial obliga-
ton is Mrs. Carpenters since she
ordered the autopsy, it is felt
that the county should assume
the debt, since officials are in
vestigating and an alleged crime
has been committed.
Coroner Jack Berry cannot
sign the death certificate until
the autopsy report is received.
AS a matter of fact, all addition
al action rests on the report
from Columbus.
Attorney Young asked Justice
of Peace D. B. Stellfox, Sr. to
reduce the bond for his clients
but the latter refused, unless the
charge was reduced and this was
impossible until the autopsy re-
port had been received.
The bond thus remains the
same and it is understood that
about ten property owners were
signing the two bonds.
