It was Christmas night and all was as still as a mouse about the county jail, even where- numerous bootleg­ gers abide, until Hickman and Peters demanded entrance. A sentry at the door investigated and found that two men were outside insisting that the other be arrested. Sheriff Tate was aroused from his slumbers and in­ formed of the alarm at the door. He arose and came down stairs and found the two wayfarers seeking entrance, each insisting that the other be placed under arrest. The Sheriff being generous o f heart and knowing the hour of the night ordered the strangers in regardless of the fact that his institution was well filled with guests that had been sent him properly recommended. The Sheriff bid the strangers have a seat and learn as to the nature of their un­ expected visit at' such an hour near the" passing of Christmas day. Hick­ man introduced Peters and Peters in­ troduced Hickman. Hickman insisted that .Peters' be placed under aTrest and /Peters implored the Sheriff to find quarters for Hickman. Thus the controversy went on and the Sheriff discovered both were under a power much beyond their control. Being satisfied that each would be in a dif­ ferent frame o f mind the next day the Sheriff ordered both to appear then. Having detained both long enough .to permit a partial return to normal condition both Hickman and Peters were turned out into the night. The invitation to return the next day evidently did not appeal to the licker o f stamps at the Wilberforce are promised. Gym! Tonight! Be there! Alford Beat Bath! GAS LINE LETS LOOSE MONDAY Will Of Majority Finally Prevails The minority with the law and pub­ lic sentiment against them finally ad­ mitted defeat in the controversy in sehooi affairs in Xenia township and no' longer stand in the way of the majority.

Barnes, who was contending what he had been elected clerk for two years and had another term td serve, .net opposition from the State Bureau of Accounting that held such an elec­ tion illegnl, As a result books and records belonging t o ’the school board were released and the newly elected board members are in full control with the minority members mere specta­ tors. Xenia township patrons are overly as Springfield but no damage was pleased that the schools are now to done other than to the line. Mr. Ham-'become a part o f the township system man has passed near where the break occufed about ten minutes previous, on his way to the farm. The entire section was enveloped in raw natural gas and had he been near at the time would have been exposed to great danger o f explosion for ignition of the automobile motor. Yellow Springs, Osborn and Fair- field were without gas for several hours, the repair being completed about two o'clock that afternoon. The company had been carrying x heavy pressure in anticipation of the cold Wave that was promised fro this sec­ tion but did not reach us. The con­ stant rains softened the ground and the one section of pipe was blown from the trench. and work in.harmony with the other schools. O. S. U.

Sheriff gets a c^ll from Prosecutor ’ Marshall who seems'anxious to know what the trouble is. Havijjg to get out of bed the Sheriff’s memory was clear as a bell and ait its best, and the Prosecutor was given the story that called for no repetitions. The day after Christmas .was not the same day for the pair that Sheriff Tate designated. Instead appeals from ’ friends. and politicians in particular kept the Sheriff busy. Why all this sudden interest in Hickman and Peters and where were the two? The Sheriff was mystified. 7 The (more the politicians pleaded for ignoring the situation the firmer 'the- square jaws o f the Sheriff were set. Standing as he usually does with both feet squarely on the ground he could not be moved by pleas from any source. " Matters drifted along from the holi­ day season to January 11 when Sher­ iff Tate had both Hickman and Peters in municipal court in Xenia. Both were charged with intoxication and both entered pleas of guilty. Peters was given a fine of $10 and' costs', amounting to .$13.98, and the fine was paid. Later Hickman desired to change his plea from guilty to not guilty, and Judge Dawspn Smith set ,his case for Saturday, January 18, according to the records of Horace Zell, who is clerk of the municipal court. Marshall and Marshall represent both sides of the case according to Judge Smith. It will be up to Prose­ cutor J. C. Marshall to prosecute while Sen. ( ? ) L. T. Marshall will defend Hickman. Thus the public has the story as to why President Hoover found it necessary to name a com­ mission to study prohibition enforce­ ment. In as much as effort has been made to smother the unusual news story with prohibition enforcement at stake, the Herald passes it on to the readers for their individual opinion.
