MERCHANTS CONSIDER IDEA OF LEAVING LIGHTS BURN Since there have been several jobs at burglary about town with in the . past few months the merchants have advocated- that each place o f business leave at least one light burning in the store at night, A few have ’used this plan for several years and so far as we knew there never has been an at­ tempt to enter these places. When this kind o f work is going on the burglar does not leave th e light hum but works by flash light so that he-will not be noticed'by anyone who happens to be passing. Once the word gets out that the stores are all lighted during the night, suspicion would be aroused if a store was found dark.

Last October an unknown man was found dead in he tramp room where he bad asked fo r lodging. A fter r search fo r relatives from an address found on his clothes little clue was According to advices from Column bus through the press, the famous 0, 8. & S. 0 , Home investigation has mded and no more testimony will be taken. The investigation was brought about as a result’ o f a communication to the Senate by Gov, Donahey, who had had certain sensational reports placed before him by Senator ( ? ) L. T, Marshall, who introduced the reso­ lution fo r the investigation. Hearings were held in Xenia and in Columbus, when employees were brought before the committee to sub- stantuate or disprove the reports. All that remains now is for the committee to report but from gossip in political circles this may never happen. It is intimated that the investigation fell flat as the charges Marshall tried to irove were without foundation - and muld not be backed up with his own .vitnesses, some o f whom refused to testify to his liking.- Supt. Garver charges that he gain­ ed the emnity of the county boss when he refused to dismiss several employ­ ees and permit him to name their successors.

DIEDERICH’S QUINTET TAKES NINESTRAIGHT The Cedarville College quintet fell in line with the traditions o f March, entering the precincts o f Dayton “ U” last Friday night like a lamb and coming out like a roaring lion over a 20-19 -victory. The victory was the biggest surprise the 'Dayton hoys have received this year, and gave sweet revenge to the followers o f the Orange and Blue for the defeat earlier in the season. The game was lost after the final gun was sounded, A foul called on Dayton a few seconds before the pistol report was shot by Townsley after the game had ended in a tie and he joined his teammates in a cheer that* will echo down the years o f Cedar- ville's Athletic history. The Dayton team led throughout the game;-the half ending 1-5 in-their favor.’ In the second period, after it locked like the game was gone, the Yellowjackets slowly overcome the Flyer’s lead, helped by Gordon, who dropped in three fouls to tie the score, and Townsley, who shot the final tally for the climax o f the season.. All during the first half and for the greater part of the second, the Cedar­ ville hunch played a. slow but careful' game, shooting only on rare occasions and taking the spirited rushes o f the Flyers’ in a matter-oflfact manner that, according to opinions from Day- ton was one o f the prettiest exhibi­ tions o f Basketball ever witnessed on their court. During the second half Rockhold and Bates also aided ija the unsuspect­ ed attack" that carried the Flyers o ff their feet, and put a bad taste in their mouts fo r their final collegiate game of the season. Incidentally, this makes the ninth straight win fo r Diederich’s men which is hardly wha,t you would call ah unsuccessful season. During the last few weeks -the Yellowjackets have vanquished Urbana, Spencerian, Cle­ veland; Babb's Winchesters, Brill* Bros., Willis Business College", Wilbur Wright, A. T .'O . Fraternity( Witten­ berg)* R io Grande, rind as a grand The 'Yellowjacket Reserves have a record o f lOt)0 per cent with four wins over, the strongest High School teamsin the county, which when coup­ led with the Varsity record is the di­ rect cause o f the smiles which Coach Diederich and the followers o f the Orange and Blue are wearing.

The governor told Sheriff Weaver In his letter that he was not enforcing the prohibition laws, or the-laws regu­ lating the weight, of trucks, as the gov­ ernor had directed. v.

Then came the rush and from reports-it was noj) only a -case numbers .in the combat but the best man had to win. The ice cream reached its destina­ tion but not -until-it reached the roof of the building and was lowered by a rope to a second story window. The night was rainy but that made no dif­ ference though a bucket o f water from an .upper window landed on some of the Seniors. This was a challenge o f war. Harold Iliff, Erie, Pa., was pick­ ed as the guilty one an?" his scalp was sought.. In the chase the victim was landed at the creek east of town, the “ flax" and here Harold was given the opportunity of taking a bath by be­ ing cast into the stream o r ,plunging o f his own accords Before a decision could hardly be m'ade he dove head­ first into the cold .water, rather than give his avengers, the opportunity o f making good their promise,. .
