HARRY TOWNSLEY WINS SUIT ■ AGAINST EXCHANGE BANK Harry Townsley was given a ver­ dict last Friday by a jury in Common Pleas Court against The Exchange Bank, suit having been brought for §1895.40, alleging that defendant had wrongfully appropriated funds left at the bank by James Frame for him, The suit is one that has created much comment in this' community and the verdict was very gratifying to his many friends. The important witnesses were Janies Frame and 0 . L. Smith, the fi tter a former cashier, Mr. Frame -claims to have left sufficient funds following his sale to pay a note left at the bank by Mr, Townsley for collection. The note was left with Mr. Smith who Mr. Townsley says promised to complete the deal. Mr. Frame testifies to the same that the. money was left for that purpose, but after business hours. According to Mr. Smith, Mr. Frame was a heavy debtor to .the hank and the money was credited to the Frame account and, later applied on his debt; On cross examination Mr. Smith ad­ mitted that he had completed the transaction for Mr. Frame by filling out the deposit slip and having the money placed to the Frame account. Mr. Smith on cross examination ad-* mitted that Mi'. Frame did not file out the deposit slip. Mr. Smith claims that lie informed Mr. Frame' that he would pay the f^wiisley note if there w;.s anything' left. This Mi*. Frame denies. The bank some time ago offered to compromise With Mr, Townsley fo r §1000 but this was turnedAlown. It has been intimated that the bank will appeal the decision. The controversy arose some months ago and is part o f the cleanup o f the bank's affairs before the present cashier, J; S. West, took charge. Miller and Finney represented the bank and Judge Shoup and Harry D, Smith,. Mr. Townsley. MANYARRESTS INXENIAFOR GAMBLING Detectives employed by Prosecutor J, C.

The companies started collection Sunday and the law did not. go into effect un­ til. Tuesday, when it was signed by Lieutenant Governor Lewis. The tax collected illegally ' is 'said to have reached $100,000 which is but ad­ ditional profit to the companies a: the state cannot share in it. The claim that the companies would absorb the tax is not horn out by conditions as the tax is added to the price. Attorney General Crabbe has ruled that the law is not subject to a refeiv endum. Suit will be started in,(.a few days according to reports from Col­ umbus seeking a referendum and al- so^eeking to declare the law uncon­ stitutional. One claim is that city people are taxed .for building rural roads and rural pedple not taxed for city streets, thereby discriminating. Cities will contest the law due to the fact that motor fire departments and city trucks are not exempted. . t .HI il .1 . ... .

POOL NEVER SOLD HERE Cedarviile has had many things to contend with in the way of vices but have yet to hear of the first race pool ticket being sold openly or un­ der cover here. This is something no ether town of the. county any near our size can say. This form of Letting has never been indulged in here, probably for the reason that we have few followers of the running races. The hoys here have always been more interested in rolling the ivory cubes on a green top table* CLARK FAIR UNDECIDED The Clark, County Agricultural board is yet undecided as to whether a fair will be held this year. The board is heavily in debt and $2,300 remains to be paid on last year’s premiums. The board claims that the fair has been a looser since gambling privil leges are not sold.

CLEAN-UP WEEK SET FOR FIRST WEEK IN MAY BY MAYOR The first week in, May is proclaimed by Mayor Funsett as “ Clean-up" week The success that followed the move, meat last year can be duplicated this year if the people will- but keep the week for that purpose. Co-operation on the part of the people means much from a health ■standpoint. It also has much to do with the general appear* once o f the town.' Cleaning' out sheds;,., g a r a g e out-buildings that kftve' b&ih.-' used fo r storage o f all inflamable ma­ terial and yvasta means much in pro­ tection to your home in case o f fire. Ash piles and all form s o f rubbish must be removed. Use plenty o f lime or disinfectant where necessary. The village provides a dump and it is open for all rubbish. Decayed matter may ■be deposited there tyit only when bur- 0 ied. There are many old buildings abbut town that are used as garages. The fire risk is greater than necessary all due to the fact that oily and greasy rags are not kept in metal containers or destroyed^immediately after use, Give the village authorities bo- operation. The officials have certain legal powers to enforce this work but this should not be necessary. Property owners are held accountable for their property whether occupied by a ten­ ant or by the owner himself.
