M, Ridgway, stirred the “ bus­ iness administration” to the core.' Mr. Ridgway has alleged that cer­ tain important papers were, missing .and th a t th'o docket was not com­ plete, This put the matter up to MayOr Andrew, who alone ig re­ sponsible for tho care,and keep of the docket. That the papers are com­ plete is proven by the transcripts that were made for the defendant and state which stood the test in the Common Pleas, Circuit ami Supreme Courts', The allegations as made in the Ridgway suit was nothing more than reflection on Mayor'Andrew ns brought by his own friend and polit­ ical god-father, 0 . M. Ridgway. The bluut of tho battle from an aroused public fell immediately on , the Mayor and this was more than hecduld stand, hence the missing papers, as alleged, have been found or are in their proper place. The article appeared on Friday and on Saturday afternoon County Prosecutor Orr appeared on the scene and asked to see the docket. Now to the astonishment of tno public, and especially to Mr, Ridg­ way, the “important papers” are are found to be secure in Mr. And- "rew’s. possession. When Mayor Andrew produced the docket and ■ papers for Mr. Orr, lie weakened his friend's suit, I t appear^ now that.either Mr. Ridgway mad o false claims as ground for his suit or th a t Mayor Andrew nas been playing “ bo-peep” with the papers- The.Mayor seeing that the fight was ,was to be centered upon him left no stone unturned to dump the whole thing back on his friend, Rplgway. . ‘Prosecutor Orr writes Mr. Wol- : .ford as follows telling of his inspec­ tion of the docket. ■' “1 saw ypuv State." docket yester­ day and i t is just as you said i t was ,’When you left it, in tiie hands of Mayor Andrew. The complete record appears upon the docket most of if attached ■to the page of the docket in winch it • ^ y y iifw uj^pmewr queetlonfor a court, or rather two questions of law. .' (a) “Was the record made up as it .was in Jaw.a record? (b) I f i t was not m itself a proper record can the plaintiff in tins in­ junction suit go behind tho trans­ cript? ( ^ I think these qupstiotie will ho Anally decided in favor of tho State, the only trouble being that i t will afford opportunity for litigation and delay. I am taking the matter up, with Mr Crabb, who is interested and who tried the case and we will file an answer and make up an isbuo to try the case on its merits*’. Ml*. Ridgway has repeatedly stat­ ed to a friend in Xenia tha t by tho election of his mati for mayor, he expected to defeat the payment of tho two fin-m. In most cases when tho papers are sent out from the Su­ preme Court they come back direct to the Mayor, A new turn was tak­ en in these cases when tho mandate came to the Common Pleas court, so that tho Costa could he attached. Mayor Andrew might hav.o been of some service to his friend in as­ sisting as to the non-payment of the fine with tho “missing papers” in question had the mandate come to him instead of going to tho Com­ mon Pleas court. Mr. Ridgway has Since stated tha t he was tricked by . certain persons in having the man­ date sent io Xenia instead ot to Mayor Andrew. . Tho whale contention is that Mr. Ridgway is playing for time, know* ing tha t when tho fine is paid fie must put up the Row tax. An offic­ er of the “ business admimsi ration” made the statemen t some days ago th a t Iso did not expect to see the fines collected during his term of office. Drugstore In Limelight Again. Last Saturday afternoon four highly esteemed young ladies from well known families gathered in tho Rulgway drugstore to enjoy the delicacy of the season, ico cream. Wliile tho ladies were enjoying themselves a number of men walked in tho store and back of tho proscrip­ tion case. There being an air about the movements of the men that created some ‘suspicion one" of the ladies remarked as to what was going m back there. Another member of tho party suggested th a t they go back and see and by this time the Xiropriotor’s wife took a hand and f o r a few minutes the a ir was of a bluish nature, The ladies were given a genuine drugstore lecture and more than th a t, invited to remain away from the place, ■ The invitation will no-floubtbe ac­ cepted apd the young folks a re having no hesitancy in relating their novel experience to a ll their friends.

Denver would be a candidate for a third term, having so satisfactorily re­ presented the Sixth District in Congress- .It has been a matter of common consent tha t the people were satisfied with his work and what he has done and for that rea­ son would be pleased to give him United support this fall. Last Bat- nrday letters were received over tiie d istrict.' f om Mr. Denver stating that he must insist on his friends relieving him of any further ser­ vice. He was nominated for his first term without solicitation on his part. His victory in a Republi can district was asounduig, especi­ ally two years ago when lie de­ feated Jesse Taylor by carrying five out of-six counties comprising the district; Mr* Denver has a strong personality. Ho is engaged in hankino, manufacturing, and farm* ing a u d it is has been a personal sacrifice for him to go to 'Washing­ ton in such a capacity. However, the public realizes the situation and will insist oh a self-sacrificing man for the honor .and not one of the cheap, loud mouthed, trashy and rattle brained kind th a t springs up occasionally with a handful of “ fa­ ther-in-law’s” cash, ready, to pur­ chase the coveted seat a t any price. Another report is going the rounds that strong pressure will be brought on Mr. Denver to accept a third term in recognition of what he has done for Xenia. SEEDS! SEEDS!
