Mrs. Christina Schwenk was at the city hall Saturday and complained about being annoyed by neighbors' dogs at her home on Mohler street.

Her story was to the effect that two families live almost next door to her in two rooms each and that they have five dogs penned in a chicken coop on the rear of the lot.

Later the patrol wagon was called and he was brought to the city prison.

He could not give a very lucid account of what happened except that he was roughly handled and robbed of 35 cents. The police are investigating.

In the matter of patience, Harry E. Kile, an electrician of Columbus, could probably give Job of Biblical history a few pointers that the latter had never discovered. Kile gets his record from marital troubles.

Two years ago Kile secured a marriage license to marry Miss Cynthia Bell Riley, but several days later that license was returned to the probate court as Kile had learned that his intended bride already had a husband, Clarence Seeds, a school teacher of Shadesville, whom she had married in 1903.

The intended bride, however, declared that the Seeds marriage was a joke and that she had only lived with that husband eight days when he deserted her. Last May she secured a divorce decree from Seeds upon the ground of gross neglect.

Wednesday afternoon, Kile paid a second visit to the court house and again took out a license to marry Miss Riley, and after two years of waiting will become her happy husband.

"Carelessness" is the cause given by Hocking Valley railroad officials for the wreck of two passenger trains in a head-on collision seven miles south of Logan Saturday evening and the consequent death of five trainmen, one of Columbus.

The dead are: Henry Marsh, Columbus, baggageman on train No. 137; William Davis, Pomeroy, engineer train No. 134; Richard Williams, Pomeroy, fireman train No. 134; Earl Shaw, Logan, fireman train No. 137; Charles Unkle, Logan, brakeman, train No. 137.

Samuel Hobbs, Middleport, a passenger, is lying in Grant hospital in a critical condition from a crushed chest, torn scalp and cuts and bruises.

Columbus people injured, none of them seriously, were: Dr. C. D. Hoy, hip dislocated, cut and brusied; E. H. Vail, baggagemaster, bruised, possibly internally and scalp cut; Mrs. Emmett Tompkins, arm wrenched, badly cut and bruised; Mrs. W. M. Hartinger, bruised about breast, arms and legs; Earl Bennett, scalp wounds; Myrtle Karnes, strained back; Mrs. Theodore A. Watterson, nose broken, bruised about head; A. W. Joseph, neck and back strained; Walter Fleming, colored, train porter, legs and ankle cut.

According to Hocking Valley officials, the accident happened because H. L. Bings, the operator at Starr, where the north bound train should have been stopped and side-tracked, failed to transmit the order.

Though the trains telescoped, it is believed that the explosion of a boiler was the probable cause of the death of several of the trainmen. Besides the above list, 25 passengers of the trains were bruised and cut, though none seriously. Engineer Schaffer, of the north-bound train had a miraculous escape, though scalded.

The body of Marsh was brought home Sunday night. Funeral services will be held Tuesday at 2 p. m. from his former residence, 1226 Michigan avenue. Burial at Green Lawn. Marsh is survived by his wife and one son, kent, aged 14. He was 48 years old and had been with the hocking Valley for 30 years.

Zimmer, probated Wednesday and in which numerous bequests were made to the CATHOLIC church and Catholic clergy, may become involved in the courts. The will bears the same date as that on which an application was made for the appointment of guardian for Zimmer and a guardian was subsequently appointed to look after his affairs.

By the terms of the will $500 each was given to Bishop J. J. Hartley and Father C. C. Rhode to be held in trust for the benefit of the poor priests of the diocese. The Rev. Father Rhode was given $200 for annual masses, and Zimmer'S sister, Christina, now Sister Josepheat, was given $2,000.

Goodale St., were arraigned in police court Wednesday charged with having dispensed cocaine. The men pleaded not guilty and their cases were set for hearing Jan. 5. They were arrested by state inspectors at different times and places and in different parts of town. The cases have no connection.

Mrs J. W. Knoderer, 177 Fourteenth Ave, was attacked by two robbers at a point just west of Summit St. on Fourteenth Ave, Wednesday night.

Her cries frightened the men and they ran away. Mrs. Knoderer believes the men followed her from State and High streets.

When faced by the real wife of Frank S. Ayers in the office of Chief Carter, Thursday morning, the girl who Wednesday gave the name of Mrs. Lillian Ayers admitted that her story of having been married to Ayers four years ago was false. Mrs. Anna Ayers, aged 22, who came to this country from Germany seven years ago, came to the police station Thursday and told Chief Carter that she had been living with Ayers mother, Mrs. J. D. Greist, 95 East Second avenue, since her marriage to Ayers four years ago.

The other "wife" then admitted that she was not married to Ayers and had only been with him a few days. She and Ayers were arrested Tuesday in connection with the passing of several worthless checks, one of which was passed against the Rev. Joseph H. Harris, pastor of Grace U. B. church on Fifth avenue. Ayers probably will be prosecuted on this charge and the women probably will be charged with living with him illegally.

The Columbus Dispatch, Wednesday, January 20, 1915
Transcribed by Cathy Haddox

Covered over with the postage stamp of Germany, a message of untold suffering was carried from the war-stricken territory to American relatives, according to J. F. Given, of Columbus, general manager for the Interstate Coal Co.

The message was, "We are literally starving to death," and was found after the instructions carefully concealed in a more carefully censored letter which came to Chicago friends of Mr. Given. The silent message caused considerable worry to Mr. Given, whose wife and daughter have been in Germany for some time. He has not heard from them for more than a month, and with the absence of either direct or indirect news from, Mr. Given is fearful of their fate.

The message which carried the news of starvation was written on the envelope and covered carefully by the postage stamps. In the letter the statement was made, "Knowing what an ardent collector of foreign postage stamps you are, I suggest that you might soak the one from this envelope and add it to your collection."

The Chicago relative is not a collector of postage stamps, and for this reason was puzzled to know what the writer referred to. He finally soaked off the stamp and found the message of suffering.

Mrs. Given and her daughter were last at Loschwitz, a suburb of Dresden, where the daughter is studying the violin under Leopold Auer. They have been in Europe for the past three years, each year Mr. Given having made the trip to that country to spend several weeks with them. Because of the war last year the regular visit was postponed, and it is now almost 18 months since Mr. Given has been with his family. Mrs. Given is a sister of Judge Thomas A. Jones, a member of the state supreme court and Edwin Jones, state central committeeman.

When the Home Store announced in The Dispatch a sale of last summer dresses beginning Thursday morning, the advertisement drew an army of women to the store. Before the doors were opened more than one hundred women were in line, and there was a grand rush for he suit department. Max Morehouse was trying to steer the women in the right direction as he explained the extraordinary sale. "These are last summer dresses which we bought from a firm in New York which is going out of that line of business," he said. "The dresses are of silk, voile, cotton crepes, and with embroidery and lace trimmings, worth anywhere from $25 to $45. All of them are good, and perfectly clean. We have offered them for sale at $3.95 and $4.95 and I consider them them the biggest bargain we have ever offered in this store."

One look in the dress department proved the truth of Mr. Morehouse'S statement. Women were searching over the heads of each other when an especially fine dress was discovered. And they will be ready for summer no matter how soon it comes when they buy up all those dresses.

A.P. York, manager of the Columbus store of the United Woolen Mills Co., was elected a member of the board of directors and it's vice president at the annual meeting of the company held at Parkersburg. Members of the new board of directors are: W. A. Hersch, W.W. Dermott, Charles L. Strehle, Miss Hattie Lemmon, of Parkersburg, H. H. Smith of Cincinnati, H.B. Souders of Fairmont and A. P. York of Columbus. The board organized by electing the following officers: W. A. Hersch, president and general manager; A. P. York, vice president; W. W. Dermott, secretary; H. H. Smith, treasurer, and Henry Hersch, assistant treasurer.

Brought to the very ragged edge of existence by poverty, Mrs. Lina Boggs, 622 Hamlet St., in a highly hysterical condition, Friday morning, struggled into the juvenile court room and offered her two beautiful children, Jaunita and William Boggs, aged 8 and 6, respectively, to the court for protection. Between sobs, she told the court that she could no longer care for them and asked of the court that good homes be secured for both.

"Do you realize madam, that you may never see them again?" Inquired Judge Black. In a burst of tears the woman declared that she expected that, but knew of no way out of her situation. "The doctor has told me that I have not very long to live," she said, as she exhibited a physician's certificate to the court.

The report of Miss Gilbert, probation officer, shows that the unfortunate woman married a soldier at Deadwood, S.D., in 1903, and left him because of his failure to support her. Lately she has been living with relatives who are having a hard time struggling to keep themselves alive. She has been working a little at a time, as her health would permit, and has been earning an average of $2.25 a week.

When Judge Black finally directed that the children be placed in the Methodist Children's home in Worthington, Oh., Mrs. Boggs fainted dead away and was carried from the courtroom in an unconscious condition by several court officers. She recovered a few minutes later, however, and the parting from her children forever was a pathetic one.

After waiting in Kansas City, MO for two months to prosecute J. C. Lamar, a hotel detective, for the theft of a diamond ring, Frank X. Wolf, of 29 South Sixth street, a traveling salesman, has given up and gone on a sales trip through the West. Lamar's trial was set for Nov. 17. A continuance was granted to Dec. 7 and then another to Dec. 15. Four more continuances were granted the defendant by the justice courts and Mr. Wolf finally gave up in disgust. He is now convinced that the talk of court delays is not without foundation.

Lamar was arrested early in the fall on a charge of having stolen Mr. Wolf's $300 diamond ring. The ring was stolen last May, while Mr. Wolf was stopping at a hotel in Kansas City, where Lamar was house detective.

H. C. Bard, of the Morehouse Martens Co., was entertained by his business associates at the Neil House, Thursday night, as a sort of farwell courtesy to him before he leaves for Arkansas. Mr. Bard will leave in a day or two for the benefit of his health.

Grabbing the pole at No. 11 Engine House, Thursday night, while only half awake, Arthur Mays, fireman, of 963 East Mound street, fell to the first floor of the engine house and was badly bruised. Other fireman fell upon him. He was given attention by the police surgeon and taken home.

The alarm was caused by a fire at the dairy of S. T. Budd, 1390 Wesley avenue, which hot ashes started a $30 blaze.

R. O. Carter, 190 South Grant avenue, at 3 o'clock Friday morning was awakened by a noise to find a colored man ransacking his house. The negro, who had entered through the front door, which had been left unlocked, made a hasty exit in the same way. He had taken nothing.

Burglars entered the home of C. F. Hansberger, 780 Bryden road, Thursday night, and stole a suit of clothes, a revolver and a gold chain. The burglar stole two derby hats and left behind his old one.

It will take over the work and absorb the Red Cross Citizens' Relief association, and the Columbus branch of the commission for relief of the distressed Belgians.

The new organization will extend it's work into every part of Franklin county. A meeting of persons interested in the work will be held at the Chamber of Commerce building Saturday afternoon.

Charles S. Thurston, 49, Prospect Addition, Pennsylvania R. R. detective, was found dead in the pennsylvania yards near Jefferson-av in the rear of Columbus Barracks Monday night with eight bullet holes thru his body. All were apparently fired into his back.

Police are not entirely satisfied as to the motive for the crime. The theory given greatest credence is that he was attacked by box car robbers.

Thurston had drawn his revolver, evidently when attacked, but did not use it. His loaded gun was found 12 feet from his body.

Thurston was last seen alive about 6 p. m. by L. P. Denny, night yardmaster, he was examining the seals on cars on the back where his body was found later.

Charles L. Lindsay, Mock-rd and Cleveland-av, B. & O. switch tender, said he heard nine or 10 shots about 8 p. m. and thought at the time they were railroad torpedoes.

The body was found shortly after 10 p. m. by Harry Keady, 1583 S. Third-st, a Pennsylvania R. R. switchman.

Thurston had served about five years in the police service of the Pennsylvania R. R. according to Captain L. A. Amerine.

He was a brother of Howard Thurston, the magician. He leaves a widow and three children. The body was removed to the morgue of the Mt. Vernon Undertaking Co.

BOX CAR THIEVES

KILL BROTHER OF

NOTED MAGICIAN

Charles E. Thurston Found In
Yards with Eight Bullet
Wounds in Body;

POLICE SEEK SLAYERS

R. R. Detective Believed to
Have Surprised Robbers
at Work in Yards.

Ploice and railroad officers Tuesday morning had no clues as to the identity of the persons who Monday evening shot to death Charles S. Thurston, aged 49, a Pennsylvania railroad detective, and brother of Howard Thurston, the magician, whose body was found near Jefferson avenue and the Pan Handle tracks, riddled with bullets. Box car robbers are believed to have slain the officer, as his loaded revolver was found within a few feet of his body. It was the first murder of the year.

Harry Keady, 1583 South Third street, a Pennsylvania switchman, discovered the body lying at the side of a string of cars, shortly after 10 o'clock Monday evening. Thurston each evening would examine the seals on box cars in the yeards. Numerous robberies of cars on the tracks in the yards necessitated constant vigilance and it is thought that he came upon persons about to break into one of them and before he had an opportunity to use his revolver, the robbers opened fire on him.

EIGHT BULLET WOUNDS.

Coroner Heintz, who examined the body after it had been removed to the Mt. Vernon Undertaking Co., said there were eight holes in the man's back, evidently made with steel jacket balls from an automatic pistol. All the shots passed entirely through the body. Thurston, who made his home with his wife and three children in Prospect Addition, on the Hilltop, was a valued employe of the railroad, according to Captain L. A. Amrine, captain of the Pennsylvania police force. He had been in the employ of the railroad three different times, resigning each time to go bak to his trade as a blacksmith.

Besides members of his immediate family and his distinguished brother, the thug victim is survived by two other brothers, Harry Thurston of Chicago, a motion picture promoter, and William H. Thurston, 739 Broderick street, proprietor of the Independent Taxi Co., on South Fifth street. Arrangements for the funeral, which will be held from the Broderick street address, have not ben completed.

Laurabella Wilburger filed suit in th Franklin county courts Tuesday morning against her former husband, Pof. Ellis M. Black of Boston, Lauara M. Black and Samuel L. Black for $625, which she claims as back alimony due from her former husband at $35 a week.

She alleges that after the decree was granted her, Prof. Black appealed the case and Lauara M. Black and Samuel L. Black signed the appeal bond of $1,000 guaranteeing compliance with the order of the lower court if the order was sustained. The order was sustained, the former Mrs. Black alleges, and she asks judgement for the amount due under the order.

A wild ride in the night had an anticlimax for Angelo Furne, 545 Bonham Ave, at 2 A.M. Wednesday when he crashed into a confectionery, and a climax when he was shot and killed by policemen as he fled from the scene of the accident. The above pictures (see store, policemen and Angelo sketch) tell the story. Above, left, is seen the store of E. M. Davis, 133 W. Fifth Av, Badly wrecked by Furne's machine. Below are shown two automobiles struck by Furne before his machine catapulted into the store. Right, above are shown Policemen Nesser and Knight who did the shooting. Below, at the left, is a sketch of Furne.

CORPORAL SAYS HE SHOT AT ANGELO FURNE
BECAUSE HE THOUGHT LATTER HAD GUN...

Nesser and Companion Officer Quizzed By Acting Chief and County Prosecutor
--Victim Slain as He Runs From Accident.

County and city authorities joined forces in an investigation into the killing by police officers of an autoist as he fled from the scene of an accident early Wednesday.

Angelo Furne, also known as Furnaletto, 26, 545 Bonham Av, was shot and killed at 2 A.M. at Dennison and Greenwood Avenues while being pursued was by Police Corporal [Ray] Nesser and Policeman [Joseph] Knight.

Both Nesser and Knight fired at Furne, but which one hit him has not been determined,, altho Knight claims he shot into the air. Each fired two shots.

A postmortem examination of Furne by Coroner Murphy is expected to reveal which of the officers hit Furne. One of them carried a .38 caliber revolver while the other's was .45 caliber.

Police Inspector Dyer, acting chief and County Prosecutor Chester grilled the officers Wednesday to ascertain why they did the shooting. Chester said he would have no statement to make at this time.

Nesser, in a statement to the Citizen declared he shot because he thought Furne had a revolver.

PROMISCUOUS SHOOTING.
"There has been promiscuous shooting in that neighborhood," he said "and we have had a great deal of trouble with persons using guns.

"I fired my two shots, one as Furne stood by a fence after we had chased him east on Fifth Ave and then south on Dennison and east on Greenwood to opposite the rear of the Everett Junior High School. I had fired the other previously when we ran down Fifth Ave.

"He stood with his hands in front of him, and I thought he had a gun." Policeman Knight declared that he fired both of his shots into the air and did not aim at the fugitive.

"As we ran, I fired once on Fifth Ave and once on Dennison." he said. "We both yelled for Furne to halt several times, threatening to shoot."

Furne, who sometimes went by the name of Furnaletto, was struck in the right shoulder by the bullet, which then passed thru his jugular vein. He was taken to White Cross Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The body was taken to the Egan undertaking establishment.

According to police, the shot, which killed Furne, brought an end to a day of reckless, wild automobile driving, during which at least one accident occurred.

TWO LOCKED UP
Mrs. Charleen Furne, 19, widow of the man shot, and Paul Cogat, Cleveland, were arrested in connection with the shooting and held for investigation. Mrs. Furne, who is nursing an injured leg suffered in an automobile accident in which she and her husband figured, was not told that her husband was dead. Corporal Nesser, Policeman Knight, and Danner were investigating a complaint in W. Sixth Ave at 2 A. M. Wednesday, when a Studebaker coupe going north on Highland St turned east on Sixth Ave. And the driver, apparently seeing the officers and attempting to avoid them, turned the car back, going south on Highland. The officers started after the car.

FIND WRECKED ROADSTER
At 133 W. Fifth Ave a confectionery store operated by E. M. Davis, the Studebaker car passed out of the picture. Here the officers found a wrecked Chrysler roadster, half buried in the front of the store building. This car it developed was that of Furne and his party.

Learning that at least one person had been injured in the accident, the officers went to the home of Mrs. Anna Rule, 136 W. Fifth Ave where they were informed the injured persons had been taken.

When the officers approached the door of the house, Furne and Cagot went out the back door and there started the chase, which ended in the death of Furne and the capture of Cagot.

Cagot went south on Hunter and was overtaken by Officer Danner, Furne ran east on Fifth Ave and then south on Dennison and east on Greenwood to opposite the rear of the Everett Junior High School on the north side of the street. It was here that Furne was shot. When Nesser and Knight rounded the corner to the schoolyard, they say Furne was standing over the fence with both hands in front of him. Each of the officers fired two shots.

According to the police, several other shots were fired during the chase in addition to the four they fired. And they also claim that they heard "someone say something about shooting somebody."

Two men and two girls were in the Chrysler roadster, which crashed into the Davis Confectionary and they were given first aid at the home of Mrs. Anna Rule.

MRS. RULE'S STORY.
Mrs. Rule's story of the affair follows: "I was in the front room taking care of the baby, who had been restless, when I heard a crash. I went out front and there saw a Chrysler car half buried in the front of the store across the street.

"Two girls and two men were standing near the car and I went over. One of the girls appeared to be badly hurt about the leg, so I invited them to come over to my house and get washed up.

"I put the girl with the injured leg to bed and wrapped up the wrist of one of the boys.

"The fellows asked me not to report the matter to the police and the girls insisted that I shouldn't turn them in."

"In the meantime somebody had called the police and they arrived. Several police came to the front door and the boys ran out the back.

"Chased by patrolmen the boys split, one going south on Hunter Ave and the other east on Fifth Ave. We came out on the porch, the girls and myself and watched the chase in Fifth Ave.

"The fellow being chased seemed to stagger. I heard the officers call: 'Halt of I'll shoot!' several times. Then I saw flashes and heard shots. Then two more. Just before the first shot I heard a voice say, 'Go ahead and shoot.'

"I didn't see the man fall. They were almost out of sight on the lawns quite a ways down the street."

The Studebaker auto which the police were trailing when the wrecked Furne roadster was found, is believed to have had no connection with the accident, altho residents said this same car came to the Rule home later and picked up the second woman. Police claim that Furne was driving carelessly and recklessly all day Tuesday. He was arrested at 12:15 P. M. by Officers Hulls after a chase in Fifth Ave. Furne was speeding when Hulls saw him and "stepped on it" when the officer went after him. He was taken to police station at 3 P. M. and at that time had a woman with him, evidently Mrs. Furne.

Furne formerly worked as a molder at the Columbus Malleable Iron Works.

Drastic action by an officer to the extent of full use of his pistol is permissible when the actions of a fugitive are "such as to arouse suspicions."

That is the way County Prosecutor Chester defined use of a pistol by a policeman Thursday, after he, with Police Inspector Dyer, had announced that no charges will be brought against Corporal Ray Nesser for shouting and killing Angelo Furne as he fled the scene of an auto accident early Wednesday.

Prosecutor Chester said: "Any ordinary citizen in the lawful pursuit of his business should and must stop on the command of a police officer in full uniform. When his actions are such as to arouse suspicions, police will be justified in taking drastic action in the enforcement of the law."

The conduct of Furne Wednesday as he fled from Corporal Nesser and Policeman Joseph Knight was "suspicious" the investigators held.

Other reasons for absolving Nesser, whose .45 caliber bullet was found lodged in the body of Furne by Coroner Murphy are: "Actions of Furne preceding his killing and desperate attempts to escape: the fact that Furne jerked off his license plates, indicating that the automobile might have been stolen; that other shots were fired in the immediate vicinity by other persons; that Officer Knight stumbled and fell over a curb, leading Nesser to believe that Knight had been shot; that persons at the house where Mrs. Furne was taken had been cautioned not to tell the police they were there." Furne's wife, Charlene, 19, and Paul Cagot, 19 , Cleveland were released Wednesday night after they had been thoroughly questioned.

"There was no mystery about my husband's actions. He was just frightened and ran when the officers entered the house," said Mrs. Charles [Sic.] Furne, age 19, of 1516 Glenn Avenue, who told late Wednesday her version of the wild auto ride and fatal shooting of her husband, Angelo, age 21, killed early Wednesday morning when he attempted to escape from Police Corporal Ray Nesser after the auto he was riding in had figured in several Collisions in Fifth avenue.

"Angelo did nothing wrong. He was only frightened. Paul (Cagot) came to our home from Cleveland, Tuesday, and the three of us started for a ride Tuesday night. We went downtown and picked up a woman whom none of us knew. Later we had some liquor and were going to the Little Pig barbecue, East Fifth Avenue when the accident occurred.

"When our car struck the first object I was thrown against the windshield and lost consciousness. I don't remember what happened immediately afterward. I guess they carried me into a house (Mrs. Anna Rule's home, 134 West Fifth avenue) for I only remember when the officers came. A few minutes after Angelo ran I heard shots."

Both Mrs. Furne and Cagot, who were arrested and taken to city prison where they were questioned and held on an investigation charge, were released late Wednesday afternoon.

The young woman said she met Furne a year ago. When they were married they went to live with her sister at the Glenn avenue address, she said.

Conflicting reports of shooting in the Fifth avenue district prior to police finding Furne's wrecked auto have not been cleared, but in their efforts to learn the cause of the supposed shooting, police uncovered a clue which resulted in the arrest of two men who are being held at city prison on investigation charges.

From a telephone number found in Cagot's pocket, police traced a clue to 164 Pennsylvania avenue, where they arrested Thomas Hurst, age 19, and Charles Evans, age 19, of 1241 Michigan avenue. They confiscated 50 gallons of liquor, at the Michigan avenue address.

Mrs. Furne, however, says she know neither of the two men. She also denied that her husband had previously been in a fight and stabbed. "Angelo never had a fight as long as I have known him," she said.

The two men probably will be questioned Thursday.

Corporal Nesser was completely exonerated by acting Chief of Police Dyer following questioning of Mrs. Furne, Cagot and a number of neighbors in the vicinity where the accident occurred.

"No charges can be filed against Nesser because of Furne's actions immediately preceding the shooting," Dyer said. "Furne's efforts to escape indicated that he had been riding in a stolen car." Dyer said. "Nesser also commanded the man to stop several times. Other shooting in the vicinity probably tended toward making Nesser think the man one of a gang of desperate men.

"Any ordinary citizen in pursuit of his lawful business need never fear to stop on command of a police officer in full uniform," John J. Chester, county prosecutor, said in explanation that Nesser could not be held responsible for Furne's death. Funeral arrangements for Furne, which are under the directions of the Eban company, have not been completed: Mrs. Furne said, however, the body probably will be taken to Mt. Sterling, Ohio, for burial.

The widow is the daughter of Daniel Leach, Mt. Sterling, and graduated from the Monroe township high school last year.

Sam Chambers, age 56, negro, Cincinnati, is held at city prison on investigation charges in connection with a double murder in Cincinnati Feb. 2 or 4. Arrested by Detectives Murphy and Carson at Seventh and Main Streets, Monday, the negro has confessed to killing a man known as "Wild Bill." Chambers is also charged with fatally shooting his brother-in-law, Robert Jackson, but denies the charge.

Five men were sentenced to 30 days in the workhouse and fined costs when arraigned in municipal court, Monday on vagrancy charges. They were Virgil West, aged 23, of S. High St., George Arms, aged 32, of Thomas Ave, William Hall, aged 22, of S. High St., Charles Moore, aged 26, of Innis Ave, Leroy Cloverdale, aged 22 of S. High St.

William Tanley, colored, giving an address of 679 N. Pearl St., was sentenced to 30 days in the workhouse and fined $50 in costs when he was arraigned in municipal court, Monday on a charge of assault and battery. The man, police alleged, struck Edith Woodbury, colored, 677 N. Pearl St., on the head with a flatiron.

Twenty-five thousand dollars damages are demanded of the Beulah Park Jockey club in a pettion filed in the Franklin county court, Monday, by Mabel A. Gallena, 138 E. Main St., who alleges that she was injured in a collapse of a grandstand at Grove City Aug. 15.

William B. Thompson, Mansfield, Ohio, was sentenced to six months in the workhouse and fined $200 and costs when he was arraigned in municipal court, Friday, on charges of failing to support two children. The man was prosecuted by his wife, Mrs. Mary R. Thompson.

Nine speeders were sentenced to city prison and four of this number were deprived of their rights to drive by Judge Edward F. Berry, in traffic court, Tuesday.

Declaring she can produce new evidence to prove her innocence, Mrs. Thurman Dillahunt, 105 Cleveland avenue, former taxi driver, who was sentenced to five days in prison and was deprived of her right to drive for six months, April 3, was granted a new trial by Judge Berry. The new hearing was set for April 17.

Rufus French, aged 22, colored, of 315 Taylor avenue, was sentenced to 10 days in city prison for driving his auto in a school zone in excess of the speed limit.

Others sentenced were: Earl A. Dutolt [DUTOIT?], aged 27 of 216 Welsh avenue, one day and deprived of his right to drive for 30; Edward L. Foster, aged 24, of 1731 1/2 N. Fourth street, one day; John Peoples, aged 28 [38?], colored, Mock road, one day; Charles R. Thomas, aged 24, of 1247 Franklin avenue, one day; Henry E. McAdams, aged 37, Westerville, one day; Earnest Hanning, aged 21, of 918 1/2 Cleveland avenue, two days, deprived of right to drive 60. Gerald Foley, age 21, 811 Franklin avenue, one day, deprived of right to drive 30, and Owen Rashon, Station G. route 3, one day and deprived of right to drive for six months.

Struck by an auto while crossing Summit street at Alden avenue, Mondaynight, Mrs. J. C. Lanius, aged 73, of 1083 Say avenue, was fatally injured and died at University Hospital four hours later. She is the third women killed by auto accidents in Columbus within three days.

C. F. Wellbacher, Route No. 1, Worthington driver of the machine, appeared at police headquarters and was released after hearing circumstances of the accident.

Mrs. Lanius' death was caused by a fractured skull. She also suffered a broken arm and hip. The accident occurred at 8 p.m.

She is survived by a daughter, Josephine, and a son, Phillip A., both of Columbus; two sisters, Bell McNeil, Crete, Neb., and Mrs. C. E. Osborne, Topeka, Kan., and a brother, Charles Lanius of Colesburg, IL. Funeral arrangements of the Glenn L. Myers have not been completed.

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: Probably Charles LANIUS should have been listed as her brother-in-law instead of brother.
