The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1955-07-14

At the next Wood County court
indictments against Governor Mason
and others were found but all were
thrown out by the grand jury. Thus
Ohio was defeated in her resort to
law as she had been in her passage of
arms. Michigan had won the war so
far.
AT the next session Of Congress
able arguments were made in favor of
Ohio in the House by Samuel F. Vim
ton and in the Senate by Thomas
Ewing. Ohio was successful there.
Instead of the narrow strip averag-
ing about eight miles wide on her
southern border Michigan received as
equivalent the large peninsula be-
tween Lake Huron, Lake Michigan
and Lake Superior, later so famous
for its large deposits of copper and
other minerals. The greatest gain by
Ohio was the harbor at Toledo form
ed by the mouth of the Maumee, es-
sential as then believed to enable Ohio
to reap the benefits of her canal COM
merce between there, Cincinnati and
Indiana.
SO goes the story of the first war
between the states and the way it

The OhiO-Michigan
War

1t was the first war between the
states, the Ohio Michigan War back
in 1885, with plenty of soldiers, much
maneuvering but no bloodshed. Like
lot of earlier and later wars the
fracas began over boundary the
state line.
Ohio claimed the line was that fix
ed by its own constitution in 1904 and
Michigan held that the line was one
fixed by the Ordinance of 1887 many
miles to the south of it. Residents be-
tween the two lines were in quandry
none knew to which state they be-
longed though most of them preferred
Ohio. The line claimed by Michigan
would have brought that state down
to about the middle of the Western
Reserve.
In spring, 1885, petition signed by
most of the residents in the disputed
territory was sent to Columbus ask
ing that Ohio laws and jurisdiction
be extended over it. Congress already
had taken it's stand in favor of Mich
igan. The Michigan line was knew as
the Fulton line and that Of Ohio as
the Harris line.
The real trouble began when a dou-
BILE set of officers was created at the
spring election. A war appeared in
evitable. Most of the inhabitants by
that time were for the Ohio side of
the dispute but enough had been fav-
orable to Michigan to fill all the
offices.
The Michigan officers soon needed
help from their neighbors in Monroe
County and from there sheriff's pos
ses made incursions in the strip and
carried off some of the would-be
citizens of Ohio to Jail at Monroe.
Immediately Ohio troops were sent
to the seat of conflict and Gov. Ro-
bert Lucas came to take personal
command of them. In the meantime
Governor Mason mustered troops
from Michigan while Lucas was en-
camped at old Ft. Miami, eight miles
above Toledo and four miles above the
disputed territory, marched into
Toledo, trampled the watermelon
patches and broke up the chicken
coops and tore up the ice house of
Major Stickney. Then they broke into
Stickney's home and carried off the
major, prisoner of war, to Monroe.
Only about half of the Michigan
contingent had reached Toledo. The
rest had deserted along the way be-
cause of rumors that a large num-
Der of Ohio sharpshooters with aim
ed rifles awaited them there.
About that time Richard Rush, of

Phelps Goes To
Decatur, Illinois

We have been informed that Ray
Phelps, the Plain City boy who was
signed to a st. Louis baseball con-
tract early this year, has been as
signed to the Decatur team in the
Three Eye League.
This league is strictly a class B
circuit and is composed of teams
representing large towns in the
states of Iowa, Indiana and Illi-
nois. Officials of the Red Bird or
ganiZation must like what they
have seen and believe that Ray
will make good in this class ball or
otherwise they would have sent
him to one of two other places as
they did some It's others who were
in training at Albany, Georgia. In
stead of sending him home or to a
team of lower classification he was
moved into the fast Three Eye
League where competition is real
ly tough.
Phelps is the only young player
out of about ten who were signed
by the Cards from Central Ohio
who was not sent home from the

Enos j. Stuzman who refused to
send his children to the Hardin
Central school located a few miles
west of Kenton was fined $40 and
costs by the judge recently when
he appeared in court.
However the Judge tabled the
case and the fine until he could
hear fifteen cases against other
Amish offenders. But he warned
StuZman that an additional fine of
$50 will be imposed for each day
that he fails to send his children to
school.
Stuzman was found guilty of vio-
lation of the state compulsory ed
ucation laws. The fifteen other

Ohio traffic during that month";"
Felty said. Furthermore if driv-
ing has not improved during the
past year at least that many will
die this April"
Many Ohioans were involved in
accidents but were more fortunate
than the 126 who became statistics
in the fatality records. Department
records show that $50 persons
were injured in traffic during
April.
A further check of records shows
that traffic during April, 1854, was
expensive. The property damages
as a result of accidents during the
month was $3,779, 400.
$50 far this year motorists are
proving that it is possible to cut
down the traffic slaughter" Felty
said. Present figures indicate
about IS percent decrease in the
number of traffic deaths as COM
pared to the same period last year.
April could bring a swing the
other way with the usual increase
in spring travel. Each motorist
must make driving a full-time job
if we are to bring the number of
traffic deaths in 1855 below the
1872 killed during 1854.
